ABSTRACT
The widespread use of static rectification and energy efficient equipment in
end user loads result in a dramatic increase in harmonic content injection towards
transformers connected to upstream power system. Now, due to modern
developments, energy efficient equipment, such as compact fluorescent lamps are
easily available. The use of energy efficient equipment increases rapidly in our
country as saving of electrical energy is the main target of end users and also electric
utility. Meanwhile, these types of equipment contribute to power quality problems
such as harmonic distortion. The harmonic content generated by load causes the
transformer to operate in higher power rating and may cause transformer operating
failure in the long term. This work was initially started with experimentation of
transformer performance analysis in the presence of harmonic events. The objective
of this research is to develop the total harmonic distortion and efficiency model
based on data analysis. Experimental tests are performed to obtain transformer
parameter. Harmonic loads are modelled by utilizing the unique waveform
characteristic of each individual harmonic load type through image processing and
curve fitting methods. Harmonic current injection model has been proposed and
applied using transformer model through the experimental parameter in MATLAB
Simulink. The comparison between harmonic current injection model with the
measured load in terms of true RMS current, apparent power, active power, true
power factor and total harmonic distortion current have been done. An analysis has
also been done on experimental data by comparing the efficiency of transformer with
and without harmonic distortion on identical load type. The developed models for
analysis of transformer efficiency with harmonic distortion indicate goodness of fit
with R-square value close to 1 and Root Mean Square Error of less than 1.

ABSTRAK
Penggunaan meluas penerusan statik dan peralatan cekap tenaga dalam beban
pengguna akhir menyebabkan peningkatan dramatik dalam suntikan kandungan
harmonik ke arah pengubah yang disambungkan kepada sistem kuasa huluan. Sekarang,
disebabkan oleh perkembangan moden, peralatan cekap tenaga, seperti lampu

dengan pantas di negara kita kerana penjimatan tenaga elektrik adalah sasaran utama
pengguna-pengguna akhir dan juga utiliti elektrik. Sementara itu, jenis peralatan
sebegini menyumbang kepada masalah kualiti kuasa seperti herotan harmonik.
Kandungan harmonik yang dihasilkan menyebabkan pengubah beroperasi di peringkat

CHAPTER 1
OVERVIEW
1.1 Overview
Nowadays, the widespread application of static rectification and energy-
efficient equipment in end user loads with transformers having small (5M to 40MVA)
and medium (40M to 250MVA) power range has resulted in a dramatic increase in
the harmonic components of the load current for this equipment. The use of energy-
efficient equipment in our country is increasing rapidly as end users and electric
utility companies are looking forward to saving electrical energy. Due to modern
developments, energy efficiency equipment such as compact fluorescent lamp is
easily available. These types of equipment give rise to the power quality problem
such as harmonic distortion. Consequently, increased usage of these types of
equipment gives rise to the harmonics on the transformer. It is also well known that
higher harmonic content in the current can cause higher current loss in winding
conductors and structural parts linked by the transformer leakage flux field, and
consequently, these losses are dissipated as heat and gives rise to higher operating
temperature than normal.
Transformers are one of the most important components from the generating
station to end-user equipment; which play an important role in minimizing the losses
throughout the stage by stepping up or stepping down the voltage. In end-user
2
equipment, transformer is used to regulate the voltage from single phase 240V ac to
the required output voltage.
Common sources of harmonics in the industrial sector are electrical ballast,
dc motor drives and rectifiers. In this modern era, direct current power supply to the
load of end-user equipment involves the use of rectifiers, since loads connected to
the power supply in the end-user equipment will result in current distortion [1].
Voltage distortion and current distortion drawn by these loads are one of the power
quality issues on the transformer. Losses in transformer can be categorized into no-
load and load losses. The no-load loss arises from the voltage excitation of the core
and eddy currents and magnetic hysteresis. Load loss occurs mainly from the
resistive losses in the conducting material of the windings [2]. There are three
factors resulted by the increased transformer heating when the load current includes
harmonic components.
(a) RMS current: Harmonic currents may cause the transformer RMS
current being higher than its capacity, if the transformer is sized only
for the kVA requirements of the load;
(b) Eddy-current losses: These are due to the magnetic fluxes which
caused induced currents in a transformer;
(c) Core losses: In the presence of harmonics, nonlinear core losses may
increase depends on the effect of the harmonics on the design of the
transformer core and applied voltage.
There are reports regarding failures in transformers under normal operating
condition with high levels of harmonic currents [3], such as nonsinusoidal currents
drawn by nonlinear load causing excessive loss and heating [4] in transformer.
Transformers are commonly constructed to utilize at rated frequency and apparent
power. Nowadays, with the presence of nonlinear loads, harmonic distortion often
3
result in higher losses on transformer, which can cause abnormal temperature rise
and excessive winding losses [5].
Figure 1.1 shows the well organised document and studied scattering failure
data to identify the critical component of transformer. These figures are not
appropriate to simply reach conclusions on the causes of transformer fault. This is
because the degradation of transformer data was taken under its normal and
abnormal operating conditions. Maintenance works are vital to restore the condition,
but costly in terms of outage duration, disruption of production line, restore and
necessary replacement. With statistical analysis, it is possible to describe the ageing
processes of power transformer components statistically. In year 2012, Voros et al.
reviewed an expert system which evaluates condition of transformer with the status
diagram, technical and statistic support to manage transformer lifecycle [6]. Now,
the preventive maintenance costs have become more of primary concern. In year
2014, Suwanasri proposed asset management of transformer with failure statistical
analysis to diminish operating and maintenance costs [7].

1.2 Problem Statement
Harmonic distortion is one of the major power quality concerns for electric
utility companies. The non-linearity of end user loads which produces harmonic
distortion will affect transformer performance. The increasing use of non-linear
loads being connected to the transformer also magnifies the power quality problems.
Distortion of sinusoidal current waveforms due to harmonics causes increases in
transformer winding losses and possible loss of equipment lifespan.
Previously, other researchers took measurement at the power substation
which did not provide details of type of loads operating at that time frame for the
data taken. The main focus is on the calculations which relate the losses with and
without harmonic to a harmonic distortion factor. This formulation does give an idea
of the losses increment between fundamental frequency and harmonic frequencies,
but does not model the performance of the transformer under condition of loads
quantity and composition in relation with efficiency and harmonic distortion level.
This study attempts to fill in this research gap. Therefore, it is necessary to develop
model which able to provide and compare detail of the performance of a transformer
under the harmonic event. The parameters involved in developing the model and
method to relate the variables with a suitable regression model should be investigated.
The model which can provide detailed comparison with different input parameter
more precise. This developed model is hoped able to be a helping hand in analyzing
transformers with harmonic issues. This research involved to setup a laboratory
scale experiment initially to collect data which is costly and time consuming.
Correspondingly, the cost and expenses can be reduced by avoiding the need of
setting up similar experimental work in the future.

1.3 Objectives of the Study
This study embarks on the following objectives:
(a) to develop model of efficiency with variation of load,
(b) to model the trend of total harmonic distortion under variation of load
composition,
(c) to analyze the model in term of harmonic distortion and transformer
efficiency, and
(d) to compare the variation in stage of separation based on weight
distribution for transformer equivalent parameter in simulation
environment.
1.4 Scope of Study
This research develops a performance model of transformer with start-up
with an experiment setup. The data collection and analysis plan provide sufficient
amount of information that are relevant to problem of study by using the available
resources more efficiently. The factors include transformer efficiency, loads
composition, harmonic distortion level, apparent power, fundamental frequency, and
harmonic frequency. The overall data collection and analysis plan were utilized to
consider how the experimental factors fit together into a model that would fulfil the
specific objectives of the experiment and satisfy the practical constraints of time and
money. Understanding how the relevant variables fit into the design structure would
indicate whether appropriate data could be collected in a way that permits an
objective analysis that leads to valid inferences with respect to the stated problem.
The transformer and loads components from the experimental work were
digitized into the simulation environment model by analyzing the measurement data.
6
Each model of the components was compared individually before being combined to
build the complete system model. One of the main motivations for developing a
simulation model or using any other modelling method is that it will be an
inexpensive approach to gain important insights on when the costs, risks or logistics
of manipulating the real system of interest are limited or prohibitive.
In this study, all apparatus needed for measurement and test equipment were
identified to ensure the measurement units or test equipment were set up according to
the user manual provided, if any. This was to minimise risk of making error of
results with wrong setting, which would waste time in starting over again in the
measurement process. Another reason was to avoid damage to the equipment and
also as a cautious step for personal safety. Even though the end user equipment
considered as loads were normal household’s lighting load, caution and awareness
step should be taken from time to time when experimental work is being conducted.
1.5 Thesis Organization
This thesis composes of six chapters, which are arranged as follows:
Chapter 1 describes the overview of the study, which includes the objectives,
scope of study, problem statement and methodology throughout the study. Chapter 2
reviews the past research work, and related on-going transformer research on power
quality issue. Transformer component model with its measured parameters are also
described in this chapter.
Chapter 3 presents in depth explanation of each part of the components
involved in the experimental work. Power quality analyser applied for measurement
and its merit for quantifying the harmonic level are discussed in detail. This chapter
7
also discusses the application of regression model on experimental data formulation
and goodness indication of the fitting.
The overall system model with harmonic current injection model and
transformer model in simulation environment are also presented in Chapter 3. The
programming of the image processing data requiring mathematical algorithm on load
waveform is also discussed. The mathematical theory involved in analysis tool
applied in the simulation is presented as well.
Chapter 4 presents explanation on the data analysis with the aim of
developing mathematical models using the regression method to describe the studied
relationship between the variability of the measurement results. Discussion of the
simulation results is also included. Aspects such as transformer’s efficiency, total
harmonic distortion level and apparent power consumption are discussed as well.
Finally, Chapter 5 concludes the study and suggests several potential future works
for improving the current work.
