Transformer saturation in full bridge (FB) isolated DC-DC converters is caused by uneven switching speeds and voltage drops in semiconductor devices and mismatched gate signals. In order to prevent transformer saturation, most popular and widely used approach is to insert a capacitor in series with the transformer windings. This study conducts extensive analyses on transformer saturation and the effect of DC blocking capacitors when they are placed in the primary or secondary windings of a transformer. The effect of the DC blocking capacitors is verified in voltage-fed and current-fed FB converters.

This paper analyses magnetic flux saturation of matching transformer considering characteristic of dynamic voltage restorer(DVR) system to solve voltage sags which are considered the dominant disturbances affecting power quality. This DVR consist of PWM inverter to inject arbitrary voltage, LC low pass filter and matching transformer for isolation and grid connection. However, the matching transformer has an excess of inrush current by magnetic flux saturation in the core of transformer. Due to this inrush current, the rating of matching transformers is double for needed nominal rating for protection of DVR. Therefore, in this paper, an advanced modeling method of magnetic flux saturation is used to analyze a magnitude and characteristic of magnetizing current. Simulation and experimental results considering characteristic of DVR system are provided to demonstrate the validity of the proposed analysis method.

Matching transformer in Dynamic Voltage Compensator is needed for grid connection and isolation. Flux saturation in transformer will be occurred by voltage of transformer from inverter and DC offset voltage and flux saturation makes over current in transformer. In this paper, mathematical modeling of matching transformer is proposed for flux saturation simulation of Dynamic Voltage Compensator.

A Method for detection of saturation of a current transformer(CT) is proposed. The algorithm is initiated when the end point of a saturation period is detected. This detection is achieved by checking the time interval between the adjacent zero-crossing points of the second derivative of the secondary current. Once the end point of the saturation period is detected, the beginning point of the corresponding saturation period is determined by backward examination of the sum of the secondary current from the end point. The performance of the algorithm was evaluated for a-g faults on a 345 kV 100km overhead transmission line. The Electromagnetic Transient Program(EMTP) was used to generate fault current signals for different fault inception angles and different remanent fluxes. The performance evaluation shows that the proposed algorithm successfully detects the saturation period even in the presence of a remanent flux.

본 논문은 과전류 경고회로의 신호를 나타내는 변류기를 설계하기 위해 관통형 변류기의 특성을 분석하고 손실을 고려한 최적 설계를 수행하였다. 관통형 변류기 코어의 크기는 2차측의 코일 턴수에 따라 결정된다. 우리는 코어에 코일을 감는 턴수에 따라 다르게 나타나는 전류 파형을 분석하였으며, 변류기 코어의 자속포화에 의한 비정현적인 파형을 개선하고자 2차측 코일 턴수와 부하저항과의 관계를 확인하였다. 또 코어의 외경은 유지하면서 내경 및 적층을 변화시켜 정밀도 개선 및 최적설계를 하였고, 이를 통하여 과전류 경고회로의 동작에 필요한 전류 값을 도출하였다.

BY the Transformers and reactors, the input electrical energy is converted into magnetic energy. At the end through the magnetic energy was passed at the output parameter. Specially At the flyback transformer or a reactor airgap were designed to contain more magnetic energy. But that work is very difficult for the optimal design. It is that Contradictions are between the length of the Air-gap, Winding inductance, DC bias. As to e Several conflicting conditions in order to determine the optimum Air-gap has a lot of experience and trial & error is necessary. The approach proposed in this paper, the auxiliary winding on the core attached to part of primary core, that by applying a DC voltage has a dramatic effect like Core with designed Air-gap. This inventiveness and advantage is to regulate arbitrarily the Saturation Flux Quantity by the input signal to secondary winding. Accordingly obtained the biggest effect is that increasing limits of the saturation current destined by the material and shape of the conventional core. In other words, that can decreas the size of the transformer and reactor, While maintaining the current saturation capacity. This paper, prove its effect as using the local flux saturation in transformers and reactors for research by the computer program using the finite element method (FEM) simulation, followed by actual experiment to verify

We had experienced the several system failures which were concerned about zero sequence voltages at the tertiary side of 345[kV] transformers. In this paper, we had considered the zero sequence voltage and its reduction methods at the 345[kV] auto-transformer tertiary. For analysis, we used EMTP(Electro-Magnetic Transients Program). The calculation results by EMTP were compared with the measured data of the field tests. From the calculation and the field tests, we had verified that it is due to pre-saturation characteristics of the potential transformer. So, we had improved its saturation characteristics and applied it at real site. After improvements, we could reduce the zero sequence voltage below the setting level of the relay.

The current flowing though a power line is measured by a current transformer (CT). Since a CT is a kind of transformer, saturation of magnetic flux in the core may occur when a large primary current flows. This saturation makes the secondary current of a CT distorted and causes problems in the protection point of view. Because of the current distortion, a protection relay cannot collect the correct information showing how the primary power system changed. Consequently, the current distortion may cause the mal-operation or operation time delay of protective relay. In this paper, an algorithm based on AR model and LSQ is proposed to compensate the saturated CT secondary currents. Various test results indicate that the proposed algorithm can accurately compensate a severely distorted secondary current and is not affected by remanence.

Distance relays need accurate current and voltage for determining the trip ignition. Therefore we must analyze nonlinear phenomena which cause distortion in signals first of all. This paper presents the effect of some distortion(arcing fault and current transformer saturation) in power system. The saturation of a current transformer distorts input current of a distance relay and arcing faults make current and voltage to be changed. This paper describes modeling methods of a current transformer and arcing faults, and describes the simulation result of two distance relay algorithms (discrete fourier transform and modified differential equation methods)

This paper describes the synergism of Artificial Neural Network and Fuzzy Logic based approach to improve the reliability of transformer differential protection, the conventional transformer differential protection commonly used a harmonic restraint principle to prevent a tripping from inrush current during initial transformer´s energization but such a principle can not performs the best optimization on tripping time. Furthermore, in some cases there may be false operation such as during CT saturation, high DC offset or harmonic containing in the line. Therefore an artificial neural network and fuzzy logic has been proposed to improve reliability of the transformer protection relay. By using EMTP-ATP the power transformer is modeled, all currents flowing ...
