Active control of transformer noise by using power line signal as reference (original) (raw)

Design and Simulation using MATLAB/Simulink on Active Noise Control System for Power Transformer

Power transformer noise control is inevitable requirement of time in order to protect people's health and the environment. As the transformer noise is mainly concentrated in frequency below 1500 Hz so a more precise noise canceller is needed. Unlike other noise remotion scheme that fails below 500 Hz, adaptive filters utilization in ANC model accomplishment is most efficient. The following research presents simulation of active noise controller in MATLAB/Simulink based on LMS algorithm. Simulation results are discussed to show that the noise of real power transformer can be reduced through the ANC model presented.

Active Noise Cancellation System for Power Transformer-Development and Validation

Transformer noise is a silent killer that not only causes hearing loss but also life quality degradation. Unlike the other active noise cancellers developed, the precise ANC model on MATLAB was built and verified through laboratory experiments. The simulation model validity is checked at different locations in acoustical field. The results presented here implies that the model developed here has the capability of reducing the noise efficiently.

Modeling and Simulation of a Dual Channel Active Noise Control System for Power Transformer Using FXLMS Algorithm

Journal of Engineering Studies and Research, 2021

Power transformers are known to generate noise, however, active noise emanating from power transformers many at time is unbearable and has been a subject of concern overtime in power engineering. Several studies on it have principally centered on single channel active noise controller (scANC) using fixed step size, which are characterized with the problems such as signal congestion and instability. This study, therefore, employed Filtered-X Least Mean Square (FXLMS) on a dual channel active noise controller (dcANC) using variable step-size. The noise emanating from a 100 MVA, 132/33 kV power transformer was captured with the help of a smart phone in flight mode in accordance with IEC 60076-10 standard of 2 m away from the transformer and 1 m apart between each measurement. The recorded noises were taken at one-third of the height of the transformer tank, while electromagnetic interference from the phone and others were assumed to be negligible. A dcANC with FXLMS was model mathemati...

Causes of Noise Generation & its Mitigation in Transformer

This paper presents causes of noise generation in transformers and its mitigation. The ministry of environment has specified noise level for different areas i.e. industrial, commercial and residential. In this paper there are three causes of noise generation in transformer i.e. core sound, load sound and sound by cooling fans & pumps. Various methods are suggested in this paper in order to mitigate the sound in transformer.

Performance of adaptive filter for absorption of harmonics and noise in power systems

2016

Taking into account the increased rate of nonlinear loads in power systems, recognition and extraction of harmonics and noise seems necessary. The duty of active filter is to identify these non sinusoid currents and take action to cancel them. In this paper, adaptive method is examined and it is observed that adaptive filter might develop appropriate performance in various conditions. Specifications of adaptive filters can be changed suiting to a specific goal and such change or adaptation should be automatic and without the need for any intervention. Among such features of this filter, one might refer to its simplicity and powerful structure.
