A lot of online DGA methods rely on consumables, carrier gases, or other components that need regular replacement to stay accurate — turning “continuous monitoring” into an ongoing operating cost. Tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) changes that: a single, stable laser measurement — no reagents, no moving parts, effectively zero operating cost over the […]

Transformer oils are often evaluated and selected based on compliance with established industry specifications. While these standards provide important performance benchmarks, they do not always reveal the full picture behind an oil’s behavior in service. Mineral transformer oils are complex mixtures of naphthenic, paraffinic, and aromatic molecules, and the balance between these constituents can influence […]

This lesson provides an introduction to Variable Shunt Reactors (VSRs) and their role in modern power grids. Participants will learn the fundamentals of reactive power compensation, voltage control, and the challenges utilities face due to fluctuating load conditions and increasing renewable energy integration. The course explains how shunt reactors absorb reactive power, how Variable Shunt […]

Explains simulation techniques used to analyse additional transformer losses caused by electromagnetic effects.   This lesson focuses on modelling additional transformer losses that occur due to electromagnetic phenomena such as skin effect, proximity effect, and stray magnetic fields. Participants learn how FEM simulations can predict AC losses in windings and stray losses in structural components […]
