Life Time Management of Power Transformer C. Sumereder, M. Muhr, B. Körbler Graz University of Technology Dep. High Voltage Engineering
Agenda • Age and aging mechanism of paper/oil insulating systems • Condition evaluation dued to age and maintenance • Maintenance strategies / risk • Technical Diagnosis
Age and Aging Mechanism • in general: Law of Arrenhius • Paper/Oil Insulation System: Montsinger
Condition Formula CAGE age condition factor LT expected useful lifetime AGE age A,b,c constants
Maintenance Strategies • TBM Time Based Maintenance: Measures were done in regular intervals Since electricity market is liberalized • CBM Condition Based Maintenance: Monitoring of the network components is essential, monitoring parameters have to be defined: diagnosis level
Maintenance Parameters / Risk • Failure Statistics • Determination of Repair Costs • Repair Time and Procedure • Evaluation of Interrupt Costs • Philosophy of Company • Risk: Watch Diagnosis and Critical Level
Technical Diagnosis • Chemical Diagnostics • Oil Analysis (IEC 60422) • Dissolved and free gasses (IIEC 60567) • Dissolved Furans (IEC 61198) • Electrical Diagnostics • Partial Discharge Measurement (IEC 60270) • Thermal Diagnostics
Age & Ageing Mechanism Maintenance Strategy Overloads Operation Conditions Servicing Inspection Overhaul Experience of Engineers Condition Evaluation Life Time Management of Power Transformers Risk evaluation Value received measures Monitoring Technical Diagnosis
Summary • Maintenance Strategy: Philosophy of utility and producer • Mechanism of Aging: Degradation of paper/oil System • Condition Evaluation: Technical Diagnosis • Experience of engineers
