Substation Control House Automation
A new era of efficiency is possible thanks to substation automation. Maintenance and monitoring are serious challenges for utility companies. Even small electric cooperatives may maintain 10,000 miles of power lines and several dozen substations. With an automated substation control … Continue reading
Dry vs. Liquid-Filled Power Transformers
With the variety of high-voltage power transformers available today, clients must consider a range of factors before selecting equipment. Although transformers are still categorized depending on whether they use wet or dry dielectric materials, numerous options are available for fast … Continue reading
Oil Testing of a High-Voltage Power Transformer
An oil-insulated power transformer benefit from routine inspections and field tests. Over time, gradual chemical breakdowns can decrease the dielectric strength and insulating properties of the transformer oil. Routine maintenance helps generating companies and power distributors to protect valuable equipment, … Continue reading
Benefits of Different Types of Modular and Mobile Substations
Demand for the modular and mobile substation is increasing dramatically due to changes in the global power industry. Equipment vendors are shifting to a new model that satisfies the need for flexible, scalable and reliable solutions. Additionally, clients want options … Continue reading
Design and Construction of the High-Voltage Power Transformer
The power transformer is used throughout the electrical grid. They increase and decrease voltages electromagnetically to transmit and distribute power more effectively. As electricity leaves a power plant, a generator step-up (GSU) transformer increases the voltage for long-distance transmission. In … Continue reading
