Summary: In this study, it is found that natural ester nanofluids exhibit better dielectric and thermal properties compared to non-biodegradable mineral oil. After 1200 hours of thermal aging, the AC breakdown voltage, thermal conductivity, and tensile strength of cellulose impregnated with natural ester are significantly higher than those impregnated with mineral oil. Furthermore, the AC breakdown voltage, thermal conductivity, and tensile strength of cellulose impregnated with natural ester nanofluid are also higher than those impregnated with mineral oil nanofluid. These findings suggest a potential for extended service life of solid insulation in liquid filled high voltage transformers.

Summary: This paper investigates the variation law of methanol concentration in transformer oil caused by operational defects and hotspot temperature from 500 kV field transformers. The correlations between various operational defects and methanol in oil are explained in detail for the first time. It is observed that bushing heating, fan failure, and breather failure can lead to an increase in methanol concentration in oil. Furthermore, the associations between annual load factor and hotspot temperature with methanol are investigated. The results show that the methanol concentration in oil at the bottom of the winding can indicate the hotspot temperature of the winding. The correlation between methanol concentration and hotspot temperature is also proved through accelerated non-uniform thermal aging experiments. The uneven distribution of methanol concentration along the axial height of the winding is also discovered. This work provides valuable insights for the maintenance of transformer components and contributes to a better understanding of the distribution mechanism of methanol in insulating oil.

Summary: This article proposes a new simple pulse multiplication circuit (SPMC) with low current stress to upgrade a normal 20-pulse autotransformer rectifier (20PAR) to a 40PAR. The SPMC includes two tapped interphase reactors and two additional diodes with lower conduction losses. Compared to conventional pulse multiplication circuits, the proposed SPMC does not require a zero-sequence blocking transformer, making it simpler to implement. Simulation and experimental results show that the input current's total harmonic distortion using 40PAR is less than 3%, meeting the DO-160G requirements for aviation applications.
