There are two main ways to maintain a critical substation transformer, the reactive maintenance where the equipment is left to run until it fails, and the preventive maintenance where the equipment has a fixed schedule. This methods are both costly as reactive maintenance can lead to equipment damage, while preventive can waste time, labor, and parts.

A predictive analytics is changing the way the utilities manage their assets, their turning the transformer into smart, so that they can reach the new levels of efficiency and reliability. At YAWEI TRANSFORMER, we believe that the future will depends on the combinations of strong, durable, and smart connected systems.

Continuous Condition Monitoring Using Temperature, Pressure, and DGA Sensors

A predictive analytic begins with accurate data, that’s why we need to have an advanced sensors track transformer health 24/7. An online DGA can monitor gases in oil, revealing issues like overheating. Temperature and pressure readings shows operational issues. Both of these can create a digital twin of asset.

AI-Powered Failure Prediction to Prevent Unplanned Outages

Data is indeed powerful when it was analyzed by AI, as the machines learns to detects patterns that’s not shown to humans, and predicts to lessen the insulation. This process can be the strongest defense against to costly maintenance and outage, as you can prevent and fixed it as soon as possible.

Remote Diagnostics Reduce On-Site Inspection Frequency and Labor Costs

As we all know, in the past, diagnosing issues will requires technicians, so you need to travel for a manual testing. But now, we have sensor data that’s securely transmitting the data for automatic analysis. The expert can also asses the issues remotely, that will lead to less inspections manually, costs, and safety risks.

Extended Equipment Lifespan Through Proactive Maintenance Scheduling

Predictive analytics extended the life of the transformer by having condition based maintenance. The components will be replaced only if the data shows it is needed, and it avoids unnecessary issues. With this approach we can maximize the asset value and prevent the replacement costs.

The YAWEI Perspective: Building a Foundation for Intelligence

At YAWEI TRANSFORMER, we design and distribute transformers with reliability that can last longer. Our products are built to integrate smooth modern sensor suites and analytics platforms. And a predictive maintenance is not just a technical upgrade but it is indeed a strategic financial decision that will help you to minimize the costs of maintenance.
