Abstract
Dissolved Gas Analysis (DGA) of transformer insulation oil is an effective method for monitoring transformer operating conditions and diagnosing faults. Photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS) is widely employed for online dissolved gas analysis in transformer oil. The positioning of the pressure equalization hole within the sound field significantly impacts the microphone’s sensitivity when coupled with the photoacoustic cell in non-resonant photoacoustic spectroscopy. The static temperature and humidity characteristics inside the photoacoustic cell also have a notable influence on the microphone’s output signal. Consequently, an analysis is performed to explore the relationship between the sensitivity of the photoacoustic spectrometer and temperature/humidity, leading to the optimization of the system configuration based on the microphone parameters. Moreover, the photoacoustic zero-point signal is influenced by the temperature and humidity levels within the photoacoustic cell. To address this problem, air mixtures at different humilities are measured, resulting in the establishment of a zero-point model for the background signal in Photoacoustic Spectroscopy (PAS). Subsequently, the experimental detection of acetylene under various humidity mixtures is conducted, successfully extracting effective signals for the measurement of 5 ppm acetylene gas. These results serve as evidence showcasing the efficacy of both the proposed structural optimization and zero-point model put forth in this study.
