    摘要: A monitoring device includes a vibration-driven energy harvesting element as a vibration-driven energy harvesting unit that performs power generation in response to a sound or a vibration being occurred by a monitoring target and having a predetermined frequency, and a notification unit that notifies a state change of the monitoring target based on a magnitude relationship between a predetermined threshold value and a voltage value of the power generation by the vibration-driven energy harvesting element. The notification unit is configured to notify the state change when the vibration-driven energy harvesting element performs the power generation. Therefore, the vibration-driven energy harvesting element, which functions as a sensor unit, requires no power supply.

    摘要: Methods, apparatuses, and systems for analysing the state of power transformers are described. A method may include providing at least one sensor arranged relative to a power transformer, retrieving at least one vibroacoustic signal from said at least one sensor, performing a time-frequency decomposition of said at least one vibroacoustic signal from a time domain to a frequency domain, identifying one or more vibroacoustic harmonic frequencies provided by the fast Fourier transformation of the at least one vibroacoustic signal, calculating an amplitude value and a phase angle related to the one or more harmonic frequencies, retrieving an electromagnetic signal emitted from the power transformer, a temperature generated by the power transformer, or both, and providing at least one analysed information from the amplitude value and the phase angle related to the one or more harmonic frequencies, the electromagnetic signal, the temperature, or any combination thereof.

    摘要: A distribution transformer system includes a distribution transformer and a distribution transformer monitoring device (DTM). The DTM includes an optical sensor operable to generate an output signal (e.g., an output voltage) in response to incident light, a communication interface, non-transitory memory storing processor-executable instructions, and a processor operably coupled to the optical sensor, the communication interface, and the memory. The processor is operable in accordance with the processor-executable instructions to, among other things, determine whether the output signal generated by the optical sensor substantially corresponds to one of multiple stored data signatures representing light producing events (such as arcing, fire, or the presence of unexpected ambient light) and, when such criterion is met, communicate an alert to a remote computing device via the communication interface. The distribution transformer may be pad-mountable, aerially mountable (e.g., mountable to a utility pole), or cabinet mountable, as applicable.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method and monitoring device, for monitoring N number of transformer bushings operating in substantially the same environment. N being any number more than 1. The method comprises estimating an absolute value for the capacitances of each of the bushings, the absolute values for the capacitances being denoted Cx, and estimating an absolute value for the loss factor or the power factor of each of the bushings, the absolute values for the loss factors or the power factors being denoted Fx. X is a number representing which bushing the value is associated to and X larger than 1. The method further comprises calculating Δ-values for all C values and Δ-values for all F values, according to:

    ΔCX=CX−CX+1, for all values up to, and including, ΔCN−1,

    ΔCN=CN−C1, for ΔCN,

    ΔFX=FX−FX+1, for all values up to, and including, ΔFN−1,

    ΔFN=FN−F1, for ΔFN,

    and determining whether the Δ-values are within predefined ranges.
