- W16987138 abstract "The health of the transmission power transformers in the power system networks is critical to the reliability of electricity supply. Knowing the precise life expectancy of the transmission power transformer is of vital importance as it permits an optimised asset replacement. The traditionally regarded transmission power transformer?s life expectancy of 40 years is considered dated for the transformers in the UK according to the transformer life data in 2010. In this thesis, it is aimed to investigate the life expectancy of the transmission power transformer in the UK from three aspects: statistical analysis on historic transformer life data, thermal modelling of in-service transformers, and through the in-service transformers? furan measurements.A detailed statistical analysis shows that deriving the transformer?s reliability at a certain age by calculating the hazard rate is inadequate, as the hazard rate at each age has a statistical range in which the confidence band width is related to the amount of the reliability data. The transformer life data in all ages are grouped together to derive a general hazard rate of 0.27%. It is concluded that the transformer life expectancy could not be derived via statistical approaches due to the limited data available at the older transformer ages.As an alternative approach, regarding the life of insulating paper as the ultimate life of a transformer, the thermal model published by the IEC transformer loading guide 60076-7 is reviewed and extended to estimate a transformer?s thermal lifetime. The model is improved in two aspects, such that Arrhenius equation is adopted to consider the paper?s practical ageing mechanism of oxidation and hydrolysis when calculating the paper?s ageing rate; and the model takes consideration of the paper?s moisture accumulation effect.The developed thermal model is used to reversely derive the generally unknown model input ? hot-spot factor, by the means of regarding the scrapped transformer?s degree of polymerisation (DP) predicted thermal lives as a benchmark. Assigning the derived hot-spot factor to the field units with regard to the design family, the thermal lives of 106 in-service transformers have been estimated. To enlarge the life sample, the modelling lives are combined with the 79 scrapped transformers? DP predicted thermal lives. The thermal life expectancy, defined as the median life of the sample set, is derived as 88 years. A series of sensitivity studies are performed to examine the derived life expectancy?s responses on the variations of load, winding-to-oil gradient, top-oil temperature rise, and the setting of winding temperature indicator.As a non-intrusive approach in transformer?s insulating paper assessment, the correlations between the 2-furaldehyde (2FAL) concentration dissolved in transformer oil and paper?s DP derived by different laboratories are reviewed which are found to differ significantly. As a first-time attempt to derive the 2FAL-DP correlation relationship for the field transformers, the paper?s DP is estimated at the age when oil was sampled using the thermal model, and is plotted with the 2FAL measurement. De Pablo?s equation is found to fit the plot of the DP estimates against the 2FAL measurements better than other function formats. The 2FAL concentrations corresponding to the paper?s critical DP levels are given using the developed 2FAL-DP correlation relationship." @default.
