Abstract
Why, what, which and when of power transformer maintenance As transformer maintenance costs continuously increase, new approaches to optimize all life cycle decisions are becoming the focus of electrical utilities. Determining the optimal maintenance choice on the right unit at the
right time is by itself a complex science. One approach to look at this problem is to optimize the total life cycle cost of a transformer. Mainly there are two main intervention actions in a life of a transformer: maintenance which can be regrouped under corrective and preventive
maintenance, and replacement. Between the two, there are targeted actions on certain transformers, such as targeted maintenance or refurbishment.
Keywords
prioritization of maintenance, refurbishment, decarbonisation.
