In past, transformer connection study was concentrated on efficiency improvement and life time broadening. But environmental side began to become important recently. In existing, quick transaction of mineral oil used to insulation oil of transformer is possibility to be difficult and causes environmental pollution in case of was outpoured and there is worry of fire occurrence. Accordingly, nonflammable performance becomes many interest in excellent vegetable oil because ignition point is high than mineral oil and environment friendly material. But, vegetable oil is cooling of transformer and insulation problem of insulating paper for cause of insulation oil special quality. Therefore, in this paper, special quality of vegetable oil that there are being a lot of mineral oil and the latest interest examined about problem and consideration item to be solved to analyzed comparison and applies vegetable oil to transformer for electric power.

In recent years, environmental concerns have been raised on the use of poorly biodegradable fluids in electrical apparatus in regions where spills from leaks and equipment failure could contaminate the surroundings. The vegetable insulation oils are highly biodegradable, have negligible effect on the environment, human health and ecosystem. Therefore, to assure their safe use in electrical power systems, it may require some processing and modification to improve some of their physical, chemical, thermal and electrical properties. This paper provides a comparative results of the electrical breakdown properties of several vegetable insulation oils and mineral oil to use as dielectric fluid in environmental-friendly pole transformer. Also, the electrical breakdown property of the Nomex and kraft insulation papers in vegetable insulation oil is examined.

Starting from the distribution transformer, the insulation oil for the oil immersed power transformer is being used to convert the vegetable oil from the existing mineral oil. Vegetable oil is better in temperature characteristics and insulation performance, is not toxic, and has better biodegradable characteristic than that of mineral oil. In order to investigate the corona inception voltage and dieclectic charateristics of the two insulating oils, three oil immersed transformers using mineral oil and vegetable oil were made and thermal cyclic aged. In this paper, the changes in the corona discharge inception voltage, chemical and electrical properties of the two sampled insulating oils from the transformers had been studied.

Electrical insulation is one of the most important part in a high voltage apparatus. Recently, researchers are interested in the environmental friendly vegetable oil from environmental viewpoint. Accelerated aging transformer insulating material in vegetable oil was compared to that of mineral oil. Accelerated aging oil samples produced in the oven at $140^{\circ}C$ for 500, 1000, 1500, 2000hours. And Real transformer insulation oils samples of vegetable oil and mineral oil were aged by thermal cycles repeating from $30^{\circ}C$ to $120^{\circ}C$. Samples were analyzed at 42, 63, 93, 143, 190, 240, 300 cycles. The mineral and vegetable insulating oils were investigated for breakdown voltage, water content, total acid number, viscosity, volume resistivity, insulating paper and oil permittivity, and dissolved gas analyses. The breakdown voltage of the vegetable insulating oil is higher than that found for the mineral oil; the accelerated aging progress decreased the breakdown voltage. The vegetable oil had a higher water saturation than the mineral oil; the vegetable oil has the superior water characteristics and breakdown voltage. And high viscosity of vegetable oil, care has to be taken, especially when designing the cooling system for a large transformer.

In recent years, environmental concerns have been raised on the use of poorly biodegradable fluids in electrical apparatus in regions where spills from leaks and equipment failure could contaminate the surroundings. The newly invented vegetable insulating oil is highly biodegradable and have negligible impact on the environment, human health and the ecosystem. For development of the environmental-friendly pole transformer using vegetable insulating oil, the dielectric constructions of the pole transformer were discussed in this paper. Depending on the dielectric constructions, the AC breakdown characteristics of the Nomex insulating papers and the vegetable insulating oil were studied by simulated electrode systems. Based on the experimental results, the maximum design stress($E_{max}$) for insulation design of the environmental-friendly pole transformer were suggested.

Partial discharge (PD) detection plays a major role in the life time assessment of liquid insulation in power transformers. Many research works are being carried out to replace conventional mineral oil insulation in transformers by vegetable oils. It is necessary to understand the PD characteristics of vegetable oils before recommending them as an alternate for mineral oil. In this paper, the breakdown strength and PD characteristics of palm and corn oil were investigated in both unaged and thermally aged conditions. Laboratory experiments were performed as per IEC test procedures. PD signals were measured using wide band detection system. Phase resolved PD pattern of vegetable oils and mineral oil were compared. Effect of increase in voltage stress on the PD pattern of palm and corn oil were studied. Time and frequency domain analysis of PD pulses at needle-plane electrode configuration was carried out. Statistical analysis of PD pattern i.e. skewness and shape parameter variations with respect to applied thermal stress were also carried out. From the results, it is observed that palm and corn oils have better breakdown strength and PD characteristics even under long-term thermal stress and hence they can be used for power transformer applications.

현재 사용되고 있는 전력 변압기의 절연유는 오랫동안 광유계에서 사용하였으나 최근 절연유 유출에 따른 환경오염인식 증가와 기존보다 고온 운전 조건에서도 절연성능 유지 필요성이 증가하면서 식물계 원료를 이용한 식물성 절연유의 사용이 검토되고 있다. 그러나 제품 특성상 생산 후 사용까지 일정기간 소요될 수 있음에도 불구하고 저장 환경에 의한 제품 변화의 연구는 아직 부족한 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 환경에서 광유계 절연유와 식물성 절연유를 노출 시킨 후 12주간 주요 물성 분석을 통해 원료별, 환경 조건별 절연유의 산화특성을 비교 검토하였다. 이 과정에서 전산가, 수분함량 그리고 절연파괴전압과 같은 항목에서 원료별 저장환경별 물성변화가 측정되었다. 식물성 절연유의 경우 분자 구조적 특징으로 광유계 절연유와 비교하여 수분함량이 증가하는 경향이 나타났으나 자체의 높은 수분 포화력으로 절연성능에는 지장이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 저장환경에서는 원료에 관계없이 외부 환경에서 일광조사에 의한 절연유의 광분해가가 나타났고 이에 따른 다양한 물성 변화도 측정되었다.

변압기 외부에 방열핀을 설치한 밀폐형 오일변압기는 절연유의 온도상승으로 인해 부피가 팽창할 경우 방열핀의 내부 부피가 확장되어 압력상승을 방지한다. 본 연구에서는 생분해도가 높아 환경친화적 이고, 인화점 및 발화점이 높아 화재의 위험도가 낮은 식물성 절연유를 이용하여 당사 풍력발전기에 적용할 밀폐형 오일변압기를 개발하였다. 열 유동 전산수치해석 기법을 이용하여 식물성 절연유 냉각성능을 광유 및 실리콘유와 비교 분석 하였으며, 밀폐형 오일변압기의 개발을 위하여 변압기 중신부의 열적 안전성을 확보하고 절연유의 온도변화에 따른 내부 압력변화에 대응이 가능한 팽창형 방열핀을 개발하였다. 추가로 온도상승시험을 통하여 수치해석 결과와 시험 결과를 비교 분석 하였으며, 식물성 절연유를 사용한 밀폐형 오일 변압기의 설계 고려사항을 도출하였다.
