Abstract
Transformer bank health indicators in a transmission network play an important role in ensuring reliable and efficient power transmission. Transformers are important components in power grids, responsible for stepping up and down voltage levels for efficient energy transmission. The purpose of this overview is to explain the concept of transformer fleet health indicators in transmission networks. The Health Index provides a quantitative measure of overall transformer health and performance, enabling utilities to effectively prioritize maintenance and investment decisions. The health index is typically determined by analyzing various parameters and indicators related to transformer performance, such as oil quality, insulation condition, winding temperature, load history, and diagnostic test results. These parameters are often monitored by advanced monitoring systems or sensor networks installed at the transformer. By continuously monitoring these parameters and using appropriate algorithms and analytics, a health index can be calculated for each transformer in the fleet. The index provides a comprehensive assessment of transformer health, enabling utilities to identify potential problems, predict outages and proactively plan maintenance activities. In addition, the Health Index allows utilities to optimize resource allocation by identifying transformers that require immediate attention or replacement. It helps minimize downtime, reduce repair costs, and maximize the life of your transformer fleet.
