Long term performance of vegetable oils as power transformer insulation – an EESA and IEEE Collaboration

Overview
Find out about Essential Energy’s experience of using vegetable oils as transformer insulation fluids over the last twenty years.
In NSW power transformers containing vegetable oils as insulation have been in use since 2004. These are among the first transformers using this fluid worldwide, and so provide an exceptional dataset as there is not much data available in the public domain with this level of longevity.
Starting in 2007 this was Dan’s first post-PhD industry project, to evaluate the early life of these units and form a list of recommendations to update asset management policies.

Highlights
Attendees will learn:
Now that these earliest units are starting to enter mid-life, this webinar will revisit their performance to understand how to continue to manage them, and any key differences from mineral oil.
A key overview of the presenter's experience will be given, to help the industry understand how to manage electrical assets containing these fluids.
