Abstract

The transformer oil temperature may be measured or computed, while the hot spot temperature can only be computed. The on-line monitoring of a transformer's condition or rather of the condition of its insulation involves recording of the voltage and current as well as monitoring of the top oil temperature and, on this basis, estimation of the windings' hot spot temperature to determine the paper insulation deterioration rate. Following standard practices, it is assumed that the paper insulation lifetime is identical with the transformer's lifetime.

A practical numerical program, which models a variety of winding types, especially the regulating ones representing a variety of tap changers, has been developed by Kinectrics codenamed "Dynamic Transformer Rating" (DTR) for Hydro One. and will be presented during this meeting.

Biographies

George Anders received a Masters Degree in Electrical Engineering from the Technical University of Lodz in Poland, a M.Sc. Degree in Mathematics and the Ph.D. Degree in Power System Reliability from the University of Toronto.

Since 1975 he has been employed by Ontario Hydro, first as a System Design Engineer and currently as a Principal Engineer/Scientist in the T&D Technologies Department of Kinectrics Inc. Dr. Anders is an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Toronto. He is an author of over 140 technical papers and four books.

Dr. Anders' main interests are in the field of computational techniques and tools for power system analysis and design. His principal activities have been centered in two areas: (1) application of probability methods and novel techniques like neural networks and optimization theory in power system analysis and design, and (2) ampacity computations of electric power cables. He is currently leading Kinectrics effort in the area of power system reliability evaluation, decision support and risk assessment tools and methodologies. Dr. Anders holds the title of Project Management Professional from the Project Management Institute. Dr. Anders is a registered Professional Engineer in Ontario and a Fellow of IEEE.

Meir Klein is currently a Senior Engineer in the Network Operating Division of Hydro One, where he has served for 28 years. Currently he is responsible, among other duties, for the development and implementation of real time asset management applications. Prior to this, Meir has worked in transmission system planning and has been extensively involved in the development and application of various power system analysis tools.

Mr. Klein holds B.A.Sc. and M. Eng. degrees in Electrical Engineering - both from the University of Toronto.
