Australian Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences, 5(11): 984-990, 2011 ISSN 1991-8178 Transformer Monitoring by using Vibration Analysis Mehdi Nafar, Bahman Bahmanifirouzi and Masoud Jabbari Department of Electrical engineering, Marvdasht Branch, Islamic Azad University, Marvdasht, Iran Abstract: Since power transformer is a complex and critical component of the power transmission and distribution system, their reliability is crucially important for the energy system operation. So, there is an increasing interest in applying monitoring systems and on line diagnosis methods to transformers, as these are one of the most expensive and critical apparatus of a power system. Detecting failures in an incipient stage can avoid major damages of power transformer, allowing important savings in investing, and giving time enough to plan transformer outages. In recent years, a great number of monitoring systems have been suggested. In this paper the use of a vibration model to be applied to transformer monitoring is proposed. The paper deals with the introduction of the comparative method of the state estimation of transformers using continuous monitoring of transformer vibration. Key words: Transformer, vibration, Monitoring, Harmonics. INTRODUCTION Power transformer asset management has been generally considered to be one of the most important power system apparatus asset managements (Nafar et al 2004- Nafar et al 2011). This is due to the substantial investments in the transformers and the importance of the transformers as one of the major factors that affect the system reliability. Since large power transformers are the most expensive and strategically important componen
