It is difficult to obtain the status information of the windings online in time. Since the transformer will suffer very fast transient overvoltage (VFTO) impact during operation, combined with the principle of the frequency response method, an online detection method of transformer winding deformation based on VFTO is proposed. In order to study the frequency response characteristics of transformer winding under the impact of VFTO, the generation process of VFTO is simulated by simulation software, and the equivalent circuit model of transformer winding before and after deformation is established. The VFTO signal is injected into the transformer circuit model as an excitation source, and the changes of resonant frequencies of frequency response curve under different deformation types and different deformation degrees of winding are analyzed. The simulation results show that the frequency response curves of different winding deformation types are different. Different deformation degrees are simulated by increasing the radial capacitance by 4%, 13%, and 23%, series inductance by 2%, 4%, and 6%, and longitudinal capacitance by 3%, 6%, and 9%, and the change of resonance frequencies can comprehensively reflect the deformation information of winding. At the same time, the tests of different deformation types and deformation degrees of the simulated winding are carried out. The results show that with the deepening of the change degree of the simulated fault inductance value, the frequency response curve shifts to the low-frequency direction, confirming the feasibility of the online detection method of transformer winding deformation based on VFTO.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s21217386","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,7]],"date-time":"2021-11-07T20:42:54Z","timestamp":1636317774000},"page":"7386","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Research on On-Line Detection Method of Transformer Winding Deformation Based on VFTO"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Yanyun","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Science, Kunming University of Science and Technology, Kunming 650504, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Guoqiong","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Science, Kunming University of Science and Technology, Kunming 650504, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chunping","family":"Zeng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Science, Kunming University of Science and Technology, Kunming 650504, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wenbin","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, Kunming University of Science and Technology, Kunming 650504, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yanan","family":"Ren","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Science, Kunming University of Science and Technology, Kunming 650504, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yi","family":"Ke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, Kunming University of Science and Technology, Kunming 650504, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hequn","family":"Chu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Science, Kunming University of Science and Technology, Kunming 650504, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chunguang","family":"Suo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Science, Kunming University of Science and Technology, Kunming 650504, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Liu, Y., He, S., Sun, L., Xie, Y., Zhao, S., and Qin, J.
