TY - CONF A1 - Eisermann, R. T1 - Distributed acoustic/vibration sensing: Towards advanced transformer condition monitoring N2 - A novel method for transformer vibration monitoring using intensity-based distributed acoustic/vibration sensing (DAS/DVS) is presented. Fibre optic sensors were fully integrated into an oil-filled medium voltage distribution transformer. Opencircuit in-situ measurements were carried out using a single and three-phase supply with an electrical power of up to 30 kVA. Spectral analysis of the mechanical vibrations were performed by measuring the frequency response of the transformer using plain fibre- and transducer-based DVS approaches. The results were compared with the spectra of a microphone mounted on the outside of the transformer housing and the electrical measurements on the high voltage side. Using the fibre optic DVS based monitoring we were able to detect changes in operating power and frequency. Further it could be shown, that it is possible to identify anomalous behaviour such as electrical/mechanical noise sources using the determined vibration spectra.

This method was experimental proven to be suitable for distributed dynamic strain measurement in a thermally unstable environment. Signal-to-noise ratio analyses for detecting a signal peak within the time-dependent spectra were performed. Results show an increase in SNR and additionally that the occurrence of total loss of sensitivity (SNR <1) could be decreased by a factor of six when compared to an untreated standard fiber.
