The most important elements of “intellectual networks” (Smart Grid) are the systems of monitoring the parameters of electrical equipment. Information-measuring systems (IMS), which are described in this paper, were proposed to be used together with rapid digital protection against short-circuit regimes in transformer windings. This paper presents the experience of LVI-testing application, some results of using Frequency Response Analysis (FRA) to check conditions of transformer windings and infra-red control results of the electrical equipment. The LVI method and short-circuit inductive reactance measurements are quite sensitive to be able to detect such faults as radial and axial winding deformations, twisting of low-voltage or regulating winding, losing of winding pressing, and others.

Joint Stock Company “Federal Grid Company of Unified Energy System” is the operator of the United National Electrical Network of Russia. The total extent of electrical power transmission lines is 121.7 thousand km, the number of substations is 805, and the class of voltage is 220–750 kV. The five-year investment program includes the construction of 73 new substations.
The switch to “clever power engineering” (Smart Grid) realized by Federal Grid Company, will make it possible not only substantially change today’s energy landscape, but also further develop the electrotechnical industry, mastering new technologies and creating new electrical equipment. Novel methods are to be incorporated both in plants and in scientific design institutes, stimulating the professional growth of Russian scientists.
In Saint-Petersburg International Economic Forum that took place some years ago, it was declared that one of the results of the conversions, conducted today by Federal Grid Company, must be the creation of the components of “intellectual networks” (Smart Grid), which will solve the existing tasks of the power electrical engineering providing for increase of effectiveness of its work and creating conditions for increasing the competitive ability of the economy of Russia on the basis of new innovation solutions and technologies.
The most important elements of “intellectual networks” (Smart Grid) are the systems of monitoring of the parameters of the electrical equipment. The residual winding’s deformations of power transformers during short circuits appear practically instantly, not leaving time to analysis of the results of diagnostic measurements, demanding to switch off the transformer as fast as possible in order to avert or, at least, reduce the necessary consequent repair of the electrical equipment.
Information-measuring systems (IMS), which are described in this paper, were proposed to transformer winding control. Rapid digital protection against short-circuit regimes in transformer windings is used with IMS. The instantaneous and average values of inductance have been calculated. This calculation showed that using IMS for inductance control allows to decrease the number of failures and expenditures for repair.
Scheme of using IMS for the control of transformer’s winding state avoiding disconnecting from the network is depicted in Figure 1 [by 1–4].
Figure 1. Information-measuring system for control of transformer’s windings state in service.
The algorithm of IMS’s work is the following. The continuous control of the winding’s state of the controlled power transformer is ensured by a constant monitoring of deviation of inductance value from the base value of inductance, which is obtained from the block of the base inductance.
During the work of the three-phase controlled power transformer (T) for the three-phase resistive load (Load) the value of primary voltage U1 is obtained by measuring converters primary voltage (high-voltage transformers TV1).
Signal from the converters was input to the entrance of the block which brings the primary voltage to the second one. In this block the value of the primary voltage, which is corrected to the second, is calculated:
Signal from the converters was entered to the entrance of the block of bringing the primary voltage to the second. In this block the value of the primary voltage, which is corrected to the second, is calculated:
(1.1)
where: Kt is the known given value of the transformation ratio of the power transformer.
Signals from the measuring converters of second voltage (voltage transformers TV2) and signals from the output of the previous block are input to the entrance.
In the block of calculation of voltage difference, which is corrected to the second side, we determine
,(1.2)
where: U2 is the value of second voltage, measured by converters TV2.
The calculations are performed in the assigned time interval in the block of calculation of voltage’s average value:
(1.3)
where: uj is the difference between corrected to the second side voltages on the transformer;
t1 and t2 are the temporary boundaries of the partition interval.
In the block of calculation of the current derivation the increase of the current in the assigned time interval is calculated:
(1.4)
Here ij is the value of current in the secondary winding of the controlled transformer, measured by current converters (current transformers CT).
In the block of calculation of inductance, the instantaneous value of inductance is determined in the assigned time interval:
(1.5)
where: uaverage is the average value of voltage,
dij/dt is the value of current derivation.
Expression (1.5) can be obtained from Ohm's law for the magnetic circuit:
(1.6)
Further using the expressions below
(1.7)
we obtain .
Disregarding the second term (assuming L = const), and assuming the linear characteristic of the medium, we have
(1.8)
which is analogous to (1.5).
In the block of bringing the value of inductance to the nominal frequency the instantaneous value of inductance corrected to the nominal frequency is calculated:
(1.9)
where: fmeas is the value of the frequency (Hz) measured by frequency converter,
fnom. is the nominal value of the frequency.
Lj meas. is the instantaneous value of inductance.
In the following block the average value of inductance during each period is calculated:
(1.10)
In the block of calculation of deviation, Laverage value during the period is compared with the base L0 value, and their difference is calculated:
(1.11)
where: L average is the average value of inductance during the period;
L0 is the base value of transformer inductance, determined from the preliminary experiment.
When winding deformations begin or in the case of winding turn-to-turn internal short-circuit, the value of inductance L tends to increase, or to decrease from one time period to the next period in case of irreversible destruction of the controlled power transformer windings.
Then, the signal from the control block enters the protection block (rapid digital protection), where a signal to switch off is formed in the high-voltage circuit breaker (B). After that Information-measuring system and the connected with it protection block stop the process of winding destruction [by 1–4].
This Smart Grid monitoring system is a perspective direction of diagnostics under operating voltage.
