Enhanced analysis of oscillatory undamped overvoltages in transformer energization

摘要

This paper proposes an enhancement on the methodology commonly used for overvoltage analysis motivated by the excitation of electric network resonance points due to injection of harmonic currents by equipment with nonlinear characteristics. The improvement proposed comprehends inclusion of effects caused by nonlinear equipment into the frequency scan study, harmonic content survey, transformation of currents and/or voltages from phase to sequence domain, and application of the Windowed Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). This enhanced methodology was applied in the investigation and identification of unexpected resonant behavior causes observed in pre-operational electromagnetic transient studies for an autotransformer energization.
