Analyzing and Comparing the Hot-spot Thermal Models of HV/LV Prefabricated and Outdoor Oil-Immersed Power Transformers

چکیده
The most important parameter in transformers life expectancy is the hot-spot temperature level which accelerates the rate of aging of the insulation. The aim of this paper is to present thermal models for transformers loaded at prefabricated MV/LV transformer substations and outdoor situations. The hot-spot temperature of transformers is studied using their top-oil temperature rise models. The thermal models proposed for hot-spot and top-oil temperatures of different operating situations are compared. Since the thermal transfer is different for indoor and outdoor transformers considering their operating conditions, their hot-spot thermal models differ from each other. The proposed thermal models are verified by the results obtained from the experiments carried out on a typical 1600 kVA, 30 /0.4 kV, ONAN transformer for both indoor and outdoor situations. Keywords—Hot-spot Temperature, Dynamic Thermal Model, MV/LV Prefabricated, Oil Immersed Transformers

متن کاملCombination of Support Vector Regression with Particle Swarm Optimization for Hot-spot temperature prediction of oil-immersed power transformer
The life expectancy and load capacity of oil-immersed power transformers are intimately associated with the winding hot spot temperature (HST). Thus, accurately predicting HSTs is essential in evaluating the life expectancy of power transformers and in preventing thermal failure. Previously, support vector machine (SVM) has been successfully employed to solve the regression problem of nonlinear...

Transformers in power plants act as intermediaries between the power plant and the power grid, which are affected by electrical stresses such as switching, thermal stresses such as overload and arc, and chemical reactions in the dielectric oil. Acid and moisture components cause deterioration of transformer oil and paper insulation. Condition assessment of transformers is a method to predict an...
