10 Infrared scan 3-D calculation of losses 10
11 Acting together with the manufacturer of the current bus enclosures, a different design was developed with significantly lower losses in the critical area of the tank Original Design Improved Design 11
12 Creating the FEM mesh (number of tetraedra) The mesh was generated using only standard mesh controls, i.e. no special methods were needed. Detail view 12
13 Loss distribution Design Improvements Original Model Modified Model scale: from 0 to 2.5x10 5 W/m 3 Losses in the zone of interest 13
14 3D case study: Electromagnetic re-design to prevent tank overheating Original Design at 190 MVA, tank flange hot spot = 96 C at 228 MVA, tank flange hot spot = 72 C Re-Design 14
15 3D case study: Electromagnetic re-design to prevent tank overheating Summary: Localized tank cover flange heating detected by infrared scan Diagnosis technical challenge: aluminum shields inside the tank, mild steel tank wall, non-magnetic steel cover parts 3D modeling The simulation provided excellent match with the measured tank temperatures The solution consisted in moving the crossover shorting plate to shift flux induced currents from the tank cover flange to the middle of the tank cover Redesigned busbar enclosure permits transformer upgrade from 185 MVA to 228 MVA. 15
16 Other types of simulations / calculations being performed Losses (with/without harmonic currents) and impedance of: Windings (including foil windings and complex circuit arrangements) 3D bus bars arrangements Reactors (with/without core, with/without magnetic shielding) Current distribution in high current windings as occur in industrial applications (arc furnace AC & DC, rectifiers) (3D): Losses in tanks, electromagnetic shields and conductive structures Temperature distribution on tanks (3D) Short circuit: computation of (transient) currents and peak forces on windings Switch-on: computation of transient currents forces on primary winding Electric field studies 16
17 Today, we are performing magneto-thermal calculations regularly local overheating is a problem that occurs frequently. Here another example of such calculation of a GSU transformer. The results are shown on left hand side and the thermal scan is shown on right hand side. 17

In-depth diagnostics of aged transformers by forensic investigations after having been taken out of service before being scrapped provides accurate information about the cooling efficiency of the apparatus. enables better assessment of the status of similar transformers in the grid 19
20 Motivation for in-depth diagnostics of aged transformers by forensic investigations: Compare real aging with laboratory accelerated aging experiments (DP, water and acid content, tensile and bending strength, dissipation factor tan δ, resistivity) Verify the cooling performance of the transformer active part Assess the initial DP values of different solid insulation components (when the transformer was put in service) Identify the location of the true hot spot(s) Detect unintended, hot spot areas / design flaws Appraise of the aging condition of similar transformers still in operation 20

27 Determination of the aging status by measuring the DP (Degree of Polymerization) of cellulose samples In operation, the cellulose degrades continuously with time This degradation alters (shortens) the cellulose molecules The DP is a good measure of the aging status, because it is proportional to the average length of the cellulose molecules The DP of new Kraft pressboard and -paper is about 1200, that of completely aged (end of life) about 200. DP DP (t) time (years) 27

40 Summary The DP profiles matched the expectation: lower DP-values at the winding top and around the conductors, higher values at the bottom and of the inter-winding insulation. The insulation of transformers A (50 years) and C (40 years) was still in relatively good condition. The youngest transformer B (30 years) had reached its end of life - continuing operation would have been associated with catastrophic failure hazard. The moisture content was high, perhaps right from the beginning? The DP of paper at the beginning of life time was lower, due to overheating during drying? The cooling design was insufficient? The transformer was operated beyond name plate? 40
41 Remarks It takes relatively little effort to collect solid insulation samples, when power transformers are scrapped. The findings may be of high value. For a comprehensive aging replica, it is necessary to take samples systematically throughout the transformer. With the water content information of the samples, it is possible to assess the operating insulation temperatures with better precision. Yet, measuring the moisture of the samples requires quick handling on-site, due to inevitable water absorption when exposed to the (humid) air. 41
