  2. The Transformer Committee (A2) Scope : Design, construction, manufacture and operation for all kinds of power transformers, including industrial , DC converters and phase-shift transformers and for all types of reactors and transformer components (bushing, tap-changer…) In the past ( known as SC12 ) activities were focussed on design problems related to the rapid increase of rated voltage and power Today, the two Strategic Directions for A2 future activities are : • Services to Customers ( Reliability, Life management, Economics, Tutorials, ...) • Technology Issues (Safety, New technologies and New concepts, Electrical environment, Pre-standardisation work, ...)  Chairman: Pierre Boss (CH)Secretary: Claude Rajotte (CA)

  3. WG completed recently WG A2.26 Mechanical condition assessment analysis of transformer windings using FRA Patrick Picher (CA) - Guidance for FRA,, - Compare different practices and propose and optimised practice- FRA interpretation, modelling, complementary methods WG A2.27 Recommendations for monitoring facilities -Paul Jarman (UK ) - Review existing and developing condition monitoring systems and practice - Propose standardization - Make recommendations for the provision of sensors facilities or data from new transformers TF A2.30 Moisture in transformer - V. Sokolov (UA) - Moisture equilibrium and moisture migration within transformer insulation systems - Critical Temperature on Bubble Evolution of oil-immersed Transformer under overload condition - Considered new research works done in this field like - bound water- effect of acids on water in oil

  4. Present A2 WG WG A2.24 Thermal performances Ian Declercq (BE ) - Fundamentals on thermal ageing - Ratings of new transformers - standardization - Practical applications for in service transformers - overload capability, reliability and economics WG A2.32 Copper sulphide in power transformer insulation Mats Dahlund (SE) - Created in response to several recent transformer failures due to cooper sulphide - Oil testing and specification issues – CEI standard - Methods to identify units in danger - Recommendations for counter-measures to stop or retard the process - Improve understanding of the problem WG A2-33 -Fire Safety (A. Petersen/AU) - Avoidance of tank rupture - Precaution to fire victim - Precautions to fire origin

  5. Present A2 WG WG & TF underway (suite) : WG A2-34 Guide for Transformer Maintenance (C. Rajotte/CA) • define a best practices list of periodic actions applied in service or with outage • address advanced maintenance activities, such as oil additives, oil filtering, oil regeneration, and insulation drying • human and material aspects of transformer maintenance, maintenance planning, maintenance tasks tracking, maintenance resources, cost references, level of competences required for different tasks, training, on-site repair, etc. WG A2-35 Experiences in service with new liquids (R. Martin/UK) - Physical, Chemical and Electrical properties of alternative fluids in comparison with Mineral oil - How the use of the alternative fluids impinges on equipment design • Gather and review in service uses of the new fluids ; Where and how used ;Power and distribution transformers; Review in-service; concerns/needs, • Review relevance of in service tests (Lab and field) to the new fluids as opposed to mineral oil • Maintenance and retrofilling • Reliability, longevity and the interaction of fluids with solid insulation. There is no Canadian member in this WG.

  6. Present A2 WG WG A2-36 Guide for Transformer Procurement Process (T. Breckenbridge / UK). -Review and update of the existing CIGRE A2 documents on procurement -Taking into account the current market conditions and the new commercial pressures that customers operate under - Prepare a new guide for assessing the capability of transformer manufacturers that evaluates technical competence and experience WG A2-37 Transformer Reliability Survey (S. Tenbohlen/DE). • Review all existing national surveys and study different practices (data collection, compilation, etc.) • Discuss the differences and identify best practices • Compile and present the information available in these national survey reports • Make recommendations to improve the situation. There is no Canadian member in this WG.

  7. Present A2 WG WG A2-38 Transformer Thermal Modelling (J. Lapworth/UK). • Describe the state of the art techniques in transformer thermal modelling to evaluate winding hottest spot as well as hot spots on other metallic parts • Examples of advanced transformer modelling tools • Examples of application of hottest spot direct measurement and best practices • Advantages and limitations of these technologies • Recommendation for standard improvement. • Applicability of thermal modelling to revise old transformer thermal performance

  8. Present A2 JWG WG A2/B4.28 HVDC Converter Transformer Milan Saravolac (FR) • WG started on recommendation of WG B4.04/A2 “Analysis of HVDC Thyristor Converter Transformers Performance” • Review Reliability Questionnaire • Technical Specification for HVDC converter transformers • Design Review Guide for HVDC converter transformers • Test specifications JWG A2/C4.39 - Electrical Transient Interaction between Transformers and the Power System (A.da Costa Oliveira Rocha/BR): • Assess and discuss the different types of electrical transient interaction between transformers and other components of the T&D power system • Discuss the general increase in transformer dielectric failures in the system.
