2-Days Training Course on Condition Monitoring of Power Transformers through Oil Analyses

The course at a glance
The purpose of this training is twofold:
- Acquiring the knowledge needed to define and implement an adequate program of oil analyses to monitor the condition of transformers.
- Understanding and interpreting oil analysis reports and implementing maintenance recommendations.
Target Audience
Maintenance staff, operators, asset managers, responsible for transformers, technical project managers
Duration
2 days
Content
- Condition monitoring through regular oil analyses: best practices for power transformers
- Sampling practices
- How does a transformer fail? Ageing of the paper/oil insulation system?
- Adequate oil analyses programs (frequency, which analyses) in function of transformer type and condition
- Interpretation of analyses results / relevant IEC/IEEE standards and maintenance guides
- Appropriate maintenance actions in function of ageing (reconditioning, reclaiming, reinhibition, passivation, …)
- How to read routine reports and how to make up interpretation and recommendations based on oil analyses results : case studies and exercises
The course also covers specific transformer oil-related ‘hot topics’:
- Dissolved gasses and stray gassing
- Online monitoring of water/%RH and dissolved gasses by Hydran or equivalent (accuracy of the readings, alarm settings, procedures what to do when alarms are exceeded)
- Case studies showing added value of online monitoring
- Specific case studies related to partial discharges
- Ageing estimation of power transformers: importance of furans and methanol : context and how to implement adequately
- Corrosive sulfur: context, actions, GDFSUEZ approach, context GLOW
- Unused oils: trend versus inhibited oils
