Transformer Asset Management by “Digitizing” & “Digitalizing” Temperature Measurements

In recent years Asset Managers have been increasingly experiencing three major challenges – avoiding risk, optimizing performance and minimizing cost of operation (TOTEX). These must all be achieved under operational constraints such as ageing infrastructure, increasing scrutiny and cost competitiveness, renewable energy penetration and even an ageing or retiring workforce! In order for the utility to operate successfully under such stringent operational environment, better asset management strategies are needed. The answer is: Digitize and Digitalization of the power network – Operation of the power network based on real time based “factual data” and operational insight rather than traditional assumptions or point in time observations. Digitizing & Digitalization allows optimum utilization of assets without loss of customer service and reliability.
