How to improve the environmental friendliness of oil immersed power transformers?

As an important equipment in the power system, the improvement of environmental protection of oil immersed power transformers is a problem that needs to be taken seriously. At present, there are several aspects that can be improved to enhance the environmental friendliness of oil immersed power transformers.

Improve the design and manufacturing process of transformers. In the design and manufacturing process of transformers, some environmentally friendly materials can be used to replace traditional materials, such as using low volatility and low toxicity insulation oil and fluorine free insulation materials, to reduce environmental pollution. In addition, optimize the cooling system of the transformer to improve heat exchange efficiency and reduce energy consumption.

Strengthen the monitoring and maintenance of transformers. By establishing a comprehensive monitoring and maintenance system, timely understanding of the operation status of transformer equipment, regular maintenance and repair, to make up for deficiencies in design, and improve the operational efficiency and reliability of transformers. In addition, intelligent monitoring equipment is adopted to monitor the temperature, oil level and other parameters of transformers in real time, warn of possible faults, take timely measures, reduce the probability of accidents, and improve the reliability of equipment.

Strengthen the oil quality management of transformers. Transformer oil is an important component of transformer operation, and its quality directly affects the operational performance and environmental protection of transformers. Therefore, reasonable selection and use of transformer oil, regular inspection of oil quality, timely replacement of aged oil, maintenance of oil stability and good insulation performance can effectively prolong the service life of transformers and reduce environmental pollution.

Promote oil-free transformer technology. Oil free transformer is an emerging transformer technology in recent years, which has advantages such as no oil, no partial discharge, and no maintenance. Compared to traditional oil immersed transformers, oil-free transformers are more environmentally friendly and reduce the risk of oil pollution and leakage. Therefore, this technology can be actively promoted to gradually replace oil immersed transformers and improve the overall environmental performance of transformers.

Strengthen the treatment and recycling of waste oil. During the use of transformers, a certain amount of waste oil will be generated. In order to reduce the impact of waste oil on the environment, some measures can be taken, such as setting up waste oil collection equipment, treating and recycling waste oil, and minimizing environmental pollution.

In short, improving the environmental friendliness of oil immersed power transformers is a comprehensive and multi-level project. Improvements and innovations need to be made in various aspects such as design, manufacturing, operation, and waste disposal. With the help of new materials and technological means, monitoring and maintenance work should be strengthened to improve the operational efficiency and reliability of transformers, in order to achieve higher environmental requirements. At the same time, actively promote oil-free transformer technology, strengthen the treatment and recycling of waste oil, further reduce the negative impact on the environment, and achieve the goal of sustainable development.
