description Power transformers are known to generate noise, however, active noise emanating from power transformers many at time is unbearable and has been a subject of concern overtime in power engineering. Several studies on it have principally centered on single channel active noise controller (scANC) using fixed step size, which are characterized with the problems such as signal congestion and instability. This study, therefore, employed Filtered-X Least Mean Square (FXLMS) on a dual channel active noise controller (dcANC) using variable step-size. The noise emanating from a 100 MVA, 132/33 kV power transformer was captured with the help of a smart phone in flight mode in accordance with IEC 60076-10 standard of 2 m away from the transformer and 1 m apart between each measurement. The recorded noises were taken at one-third of the height of the transformer tank, while electromagnetic interference from the phone and others were assumed to be negligible. A dcANC with FXLMS was model mathematically and implemented in Simulink in the MATLAB environment. Noise reduction ratio, loudness unit full scale and mean square error were used as performance metrics. The simulation results obtained showed that the original noise emanating from the power transformer when ANC was not used was found to be 70 dB. When scANC with FXLMS was used, the noise was reduced to 30.55 dB whereas, when dcANC with the FXLMS was employed it was reduced to 0.19 dB. Also, the MSE value of -72 dB was obtained in the proposed dcANC with FXLMS, compared with -64 dB obtained from scANC with FXLMS algorithm. The results of the simulation using FXLMS on both scANC and dcANC showed that the performance of the dcANC is comparatively better in term of the stated performance metrics.
