This Green Book provides a comprehensive guide to transformer and reactor life management, from procurement to disposal.
Transformers
and reactors are among the most expensive components in the power
system and contribute to a large proportion of its losses. Transformers
also have long lives - more 40 years in many cases. Making the wrong
decisions on their life management can have serious and long-lasting
consequences.
The book is a
reference for anyone involved in transformer and reactor life
management. This includes not only operators, but also maintenance,
repair, testing, and disposal contractors. Each of the main steps is
described in its own chapter, with special emphasis on diagnosing and
resolving transformer and reactor problems. Each chapter has been
written by experts in the field, and then reviewed in detail by the
editorial panel. In addition, the editorial panel has tried to ensure a
clear and consistent use of terminology.
The
book provides those involved in transformer and reactor life
management with comprehensive guidance on industry best practices and
how to avoid wrong decisions.
