Abstract

Power transformers are expensive (~50% of substation investment) and critical components of our energy infrastructure. Transformers are generally highly reliable, however there are different degradation processes which eventually limit their life. It is critical for end users to understand the risk of failure of their transformers so that resources can be most practically allocated for repair, refurbishment, or replacement. This article provides a case study for a fleet of eight (8) transformers that were above 50 years of age.
