Protective devices in oil-immersed power transformers such as sudden pressure relay,
Read more Read lessBuchholtz Relay, pressure relief valve, oil level indicator, and winding thermometer in power transformers and reactors are critical for operational reliability. However, recurrent failures due to moisture ingress have led to twenty-two (22) unintended outages over the past five years, resulting in 34 hours of unavailability and 101 MWh of Energy Not Supplied (ENS). This paper presents a comprehensive strategy combining Root Cause Analysis (RCA), prescriptive analytics, descriptive analytics, environmental correlation, and reliability modeling to optimize maintenance and improve asset performance of protective devices in oil-immersed power transformers [1]. This targeted approach enables utilities to allocate resources effectively, mitigate high-risk scenarios, and enhance system resilience, ultimately aligning reliability management with real-world operating conditions.
