Abstract

Since the start of transformers immersed in refrigerating liquid, the fluid traditionally used has been mineral oil. However, in recent decades, efforts have been joined in the search for alternatives with a lower environmental impact and which also satisfy the technical requirements of insulation and refrigeration in the transformers. Currently, insulating vegetable oils are available in the market, which may have lower environmental impact during their use and final disposition; nevertheless, their high cost and short time of use have limited their massive application. This work presents the thermal behavior evaluation of two distribution transformers at different powers immersed in dielectric vegetable oil, comparing their performance with that of two constructively equal transformers immersed in mineral oil. The results obtained reveal that the transformers comply with the requirements of existing standards. Desde los inicios de los transformadores inmersos en líquido refrigerante, el fluido empleado por tradición ha sido el aceite de origen mineral. Sin embargo, en las últimas décadas se han unido esfuerzos en la búsqueda de alternativas que tengan un menor impacto en el medio ambiente y que a su vez satisfagan los requerimientos técnicos de aislamiento y refrigeración en los transformadores. Actualmente se encuentran en el mercado aceites aislantes de origen vegetal que pueden tener un menor impacto ambiental durante su uso y disposición final; no obstante, su elevado costo y su poco tiempo de uso han limitado su aplicación masiva. En este trabajo se presenta la evaluación del comportamiento térmico de dos transformadores de distribución de diferente potencia inmersos en aceite dieléctrico de origen vegetal y se compara su desempeño con el de dos transformadores constructivamente iguales inmersos en aceite mineral. Los resultados obtenidos revelan que los transformadores cumplen con los requerimientos de la normatividad existente.

Abstract

Transformers are elements of the utmost importance in the layout of power grids. Their usable lifespan depends on various factors, amongst them, the temperature within their own interior, specially the localized temperature on their insulating material components. Such temperatures are usually approximated through proposed guideline models, however, as stated, these values are approximations and realtime direct measurements would be much more desirable. Due to purely economic reasons, direct measurement is often used for power transformers. However, in the advent of "Smart Grids" distribution system instrumentation will be necessary, as well as the use of cleaner technologies. For research purposes, in this paper, the authors will discuss their experiences in instrumentation with optical fibers in four different distribution transformers submerged in mineral and vegetable oil, for thermal evaluation. The transformers have capacities that range from 15 kVA to 37,5 kVA and operate at voltages of 7620 V/ 240 V. This paper also explains the process of identifying which are the optimal temperature measurement points in the interior of the transformer and leads into the results of temperature rise tests with simulated loads through the use of short circuits and through constant reference fault and actual load at two levels to compare measurements within each of the transformers.
