Application of dry-type transformer in smart grid

Advantages of dry-type transformers in smart grids

Adapting to the requirements of smart grid: With the development of smart grids, the performance and reliability requirements of transformers are increasing. Dry-type transformers have gradually adapted to the requirements of smart grids with their excellent performance and characteristics.

Intelligent monitoring and management: Many dry-type transformers are equipped with advanced monitoring and management systems, such as temperature monitoring, humidity monitoring, and remote communication. These functions enable operation and maintenance personnel to monitor the operating status of the transformer in real time, discover and deal with potential problems in a timely manner, and improve operation and maintenance efficiency and response speed.

Significant energy-saving and emission-reduction effects: Dry-type transformers use low-loss materials and technologies to reduce energy consumption and improve energy utilization efficiency. At the same time, their long life and excellent durability also reduce the frequency of replacement, reduce resource consumption and environmental pollution.

Application of dry-type transformers in smart grids

1. Supporting the operation of smart grids as key equipment

Dry-type transformers are key equipment in smart grids. Their stable and reliable operation is of great significance to ensuring the safety and stability of the power grid. In smart grids, dry-type transformers not only undertake the basic tasks of voltage conversion and power transmission, but also realize real-time monitoring and control of the power grid status through integration with smart grid systems.

2. Integrated intelligent monitoring and management system

Many dry-type transformers, especially the new generation of intelligent dry-type transformers, integrate advanced monitoring and management systems. These systems usually include functions such as temperature monitoring, humidity monitoring, and remote communication.

‌Temperature monitoring‌: Temperature sensors are installed in key parts such as the core and windings of the transformer to monitor temperature changes in real time. By monitoring the temperature in real time, overheating of the transformer can be detected in time to avoid damage to the equipment due to excessive temperature. When the temperature exceeds the set threshold, the monitoring system can automatically start the heat dissipation device, such as a fan or cooling system, to reduce the temperature of the transformer‌.

‌Humidity monitoring‌: Install humidity sensors to monitor the humidity of the transformers surrounding environment. A high humidity environment may affect the insulation performance of the transformer, so it is very important to understand the humidity conditions in real time. When the humidity exceeds a certain range, the monitoring system can start the dehumidification device to prevent the transformer from malfunctioning due to moisture‌.

‌Communication and control system‌: Establish a communication network so that the dry-type transformer can transmit data with the superior control system or remote monitoring center. Through the intelligent control system, the operation of the transformer can be automatically adjusted according to the monitored parameters to improve the operating efficiency and reliability‌.

With the continuous deepening of smart grid construction and the continuous advancement of technology, the application prospects of dry-type transformers in smart grids will be broader. In the future, dry-type transformers will pay more attention to technological innovation and material innovation to improve their performance and reliability. At the same time, dry-type transformers will also pay more attention to the application of intelligent and digital technologies to achieve more efficient and intelligent power distribution and management.
