Meet Delta-X Research
Delta-X Research provides the market-leading solution for managing and interpreting insulating liquid test data, including dissolved gas analysis (DGA). Our Transformer Oil Analyst (TOA) decision-support tool uses innovative Reliability-based DGA to detect incipient faults, assess risk, and prioritize your transformer fleet for repair-or-replace decisions.
Interpreting DGA data is a three-step process
Does a fault exist?
Recent advancements in DGA interpretation, including:
- Using fault energy indices to simplify the analysis,
- Accounting for gas loss,
- Focusing on gassing events, and
- Applying reliability statistics to relate DGA data with transformer failures identifies problematic transformers earlier and significantly reduces false alarms.
What type of fault is it?
The Duval triangles are tried and true fault type diagnostic tools, but can require the application of multiple triangles to distinguish particular faults that require interpretation of more than three hydrocarbon gases.
Using all five hydrocarbon gases, the 4-Simplex provides a nuanced result that allows for understanding mixed fault types, and has proven to be more reliable than the Duval pentagon.
How severe is the fault?
Reliability-based DGA is based on a statistical model built from transformer reliability data, including failure events. A transformer’s fault energy index is compared to the model to provide two measures:
- Cumulative Severity (CSEV) indicates the percentage of transformers that are gassing that would fail prior to transformer of interest; and
- Hazard Factor (HF) indicates the probability of failure over the next year if gas production continues at the current rate.
Hazard Factor is a more precise severity assessment than the simple green/yellow/red status codes used by conventional methods, and thereby enables fleet prioritization optimized for deploying maintenance resources.
