This paper presents an algorithm that evaluates the current state of an asset fleet containing sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) and estimates its leakage in future electrical power substation projects. The algorithm uses simple models and easy tools to facilitate decision making for transmission and distribution system operator companies. The algorithm is evaluated using data provided by ENEL-CODENSA. The corresponding results are shown, and the estimation values obtained are compared with leakage records in existing assets which helps to understand the advantages and limitations of the algorithm.
En este trabajo se presenta una metodología para evaluar el cambiador de derivaciones bajo carga OLTC según su índice de salud, construida a partir del principio de funcionamiento y las características generales de este equipo. Dado que las intervenciones en estos equipos tradicionalmente han dependido de los historiales de mantenimiento y de fabricantes, con esta metodología se busca migrar al mantenimiento basado en la condición del equipo, optimizando las inversiones financieras y de personal, generando mayor confiabilidad en el sistema y obteniendo una mejor gestión de los activos. Para ello, inicialmente se identificaron los modos de falla que pueden presentarse, seleccionando así las pruebas que más aportan para un diagnóstico del OLTC, posteriormente se realizó el desarrollo de la metodología combinando de manera ponderada las pruebas y finalmente se integró esta metodología a la herramienta de estimación del índice de Salud de transformadores desarrollada por el Grupo de investigación en alta tensión de la Universidad del Valle GRALTA. La metodología desarrollada se validó con un caso de estudio.
This article presents an optimization methodology to schedule the replacement of power transformers (PT) into a fleet. The objective is the minimization of the summation of the risk indices of the PT. Each PT risk index is calculated from the estimation of the life used and the strategic importance of the unit. The PT life used is estimated as a relationship of the solid insulation polymerization degree, where aging processes due to oxidation, hydrolysis, and pyrolysis are considered from the calendar date when the unit starts its operation until different future scenarios. For the calculation of the PT strategic importance, financial, security, environmental, and network performance aspects are considered. Then, using the optimization model, together with the CAPEX and the available budget over a planning time, a strategy for optimally replacing the critical units is determined. The model was applied for a group of 102 units, demonstrating its applicability and effectiveness. The developed methodology serves to support the manager of these assets in making decisions in the long term.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
