Disclosed are a composite separation membrane structure for a gas sensor for real-time monitoring of degradation of insulating oil of a power transformer, a gas sensor apparatus including the same, and a method and an apparatus for measuring gas concentration using the same. It is possible to locally diagnose whether there is a fault in the power transformer and what kind of fault occurs where in the power transformer by quantitatively measuring the concentration of several gases dissolved in the insulating oil in real time. As a result, breakdown of the power transformer may be prevented and remaining service life of the insulating oil in the power transformer may be predicted.

There is provided a method and apparatus for monitoring oil deterioration in real time. The method includes the steps of radiating light into an oil medium and measuring light intensities at red, green and blue wavelength ranges of the light after passing through a certain thickness of the oil. A ratio of the light intensity at the red wavelength range to the light intensity at the green wavelength range is computed by using the measured light intensities. These steps are repeated to monitor a change in the above ratio value in real time of oil use. The apparatus includes a light source means for radiating light into an oil medium, a color sensing means for measuring light intensities at red, green and blue wavelength ranges of the light that has passed through a certain thickness of the oil, and a control means for computing and monitoring a ratio of the light intensity at the red wavelength range to the light intensity at the green wavelength range, using the light intensities measured by the color sensing means.

The method of the present invention comprises the steps of: irradiating ultraviolet light into oil to be monitored; measuring fluorescence emission intensity of the oil in red, green and blue wavelength bands; determining one value measured in a relatively long wavelength band and the other value measured in a relatively short wavelength band among the fluorescence emission intensity measured in the red, green and blue wavelength bands; calculating a fluorescence emission ratio which is defined as a ratio of the value measured in the relatively long wavelength band to the value measured in the relatively short wavelength band; and monitoring a change in the fluorescence emission ratio. It is then determined whether the fluorescence emission ratio reaches a predetermined critical magnitude. When the fluorescence emission ratio reaches the critical magnitude, the necessity of replacing the oil with new one is indicated.
