WHITEPAPER: Transformer Monitoring System (TMS)
The transformer shall be equipped with a continuous online, real-time and reliable monitoring system to help the understanding of the transformer’s status remotely and to ensure the recording of the transformer’s status. The prime objective of the system to ensure the continuity of operation (reduce the risk of sudden failure), increase the operational performance, optimise the loading, reduce the maintenance, stimulate the probable normal/overload operating conditions and forecast the impact of such operating conditions, thermal modelling/estimation of winding hot spot temperatures and maximize the asset life.
