Transformer condition monitoring Benefits:
Monitoring generation, transmission and distribution power transformers is vital concept for the electricity utility’s operation and maintenance personal. Protecting Transformer’s Assets requires the implementation of ON-Line DGA.
Benefits of On-Line DGA monitoring:
- Avoiding Transformer failure which can cause catastrophic and costly outage of power.
- Enabling condition based maintenance schemes on regular schedule, hence lower costs.
- Extending Transformer Operation life.
- Deferring capital expenditures for over 10 years.
- On-Line DGA transformer monitoring allows a clear understanding of true transformer condition and provide the important and timely information needed to maintain
- the reliability and safety of transformer fleets.
- Easy correlation to other factors, such as load, temperature, PD, Bushings monitoring and DGA allow a clear understanding of true transformer behavior.
- Monitor your entire fleet on your desktop simultaneously by On-Line DGA solutions.
On-Line DGA monitoring systems:
- At Least 8 Gases + Moisture.
- Monitor performance of pushings, and partial discharge.
- Leading-edge photo-acoustic spectroscopy (PAS).
- No consumables (calibration or carrier gas) requirements
- Multiple-tank option available and one unit for single phase bank of transformers
- Market leading specification providing an accurate and robust product
- Sophisticated data and communication systems.
Other Transformer condition monitoring Benefits:
- Residual Life Enhancement.
- Transformer Population Management
- Tightness of Transformer
- Risk based maintenance
- Maintenance Strategies for On-load Tap Changers
- FMEA (Failure Mode Effect Analysis)
- Aging Behavior,
- Don’t Trust your lab
- Evaluating data: Water, Oxygen, Several Gases, Furans, DP Profiles, different measure methods.
- Treatments, Online Drying, Regeneration / Reclamation
- Risks with new transformers
- Natural Esters in Transformers
- Enhanced, user friendly software.
