Method and device for analysing the state, condition and power quality of transformers in power grids
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.
