CIGRE A2.38 International Working Group Meeting – Transformer Thermal Modelling

CIGRE A2.38 International Working Group Meeting – Transformer Thermal Modelling

At the Milan Vidmar Electric Power Research Institute the CIGRE A2.39 International Working Group meeting – Transformer Thermal Modelling was held from 25 to 27 February 2013. The meeting was organised by the Physical-chemical Transformer Diagnostics Department. The Group includes 22 experts from 18 countries; it was also attended by Mr Tim Gradnik from our Institute. The Group studies state-of-the-art methods for establishing the highest temperatures in high voltage energy transformers on the basis of the most contemporary calculation and measuring methods including the instalment of optical temperature sensors. The A2.38 Group is drafting a technical brochure in the field of thermal transformer modelling. After the conclusion of their work guests also visited the EIMV's high voltagelaboratory.
