MUMBAI, India, March 14 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202647025145 A) filed by Hitachi Energy Ltd., Zurich, on March 3, for 'a method, a monitoring system and a transformer arrangement.'

Inventor(s) include Daneryd, Anders; and Sahu, Kiran Chandra.

The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A method (2) for monitoring of structural degradation in a transformer arrangement (3) The transformer arrangement (3) comprises a transformer tank (10) and a transformer (12) enclosed by the transformer tank (10) and immersed in an insulating fluid inside the transformer tank (10). The method (2) is performed by a monitoring system (400) comprising a control unit (1), an actuator assembly (14) controllable to dynamically excite the transformer arrangement (3), and a sensor assembly (16) configured to detect a vibrational response V in the transformer tank (10) of the transformer arrangement (3). The method (2) comprises, by the control unit (1) : controlling S1 the actuator assembly (14) to dynamically excite the transformer arrangement (3); detecting S2, via the sensor assembly (16), a vibrational response V of the transformer arrangement (3); comparing S3 the vibrational response V to a reference response R; and determining S4 a structural degradation of the transformer arrangement (3) in response to the comparison between the vibrational response V and the reference response R exceeding a threshold value. A monitoring system (400) and a transformer arrangement are also disclosed."

The patent application was internationally filed on Sept. 05, 2024, under International application No.PCT/EP2024/074815.
