Recognition of the Transformer Sympathetic Inrush Current Based on Hilbert-Huang Transform

Abstract:

Analyze the characteristic quantity difference between the transformer sympathetic inrush current and the internal fault current inside it depending on the Hilbert-huang transform and extract the new type Hilbert-huang criterion for the recognition of the sympathetic inrush current according to the transformed wave form features. Set up the transformer simulating models through PACAD for the sympathetic inrush current and internal fault current to extract their IMF component; identify the sympathetic inrush current and the internal fault current based on HHT criterion; verify whether HHT criterion can identify the sympathetic inrush current wave form and the transformer internal fault current correctly. The criterion has targeted feature with self-adaption ability.
