Applications — Surveillance des transformateurs

Surveillance des transformateurs de sous-stations

Continuous monitoring of critical substation transformers across temperature, dissolved gases, partial discharge, bushings, OLTC, oil-system conditions and cooling performance.

Pourquoi est-ce important ?

Why Continuous Monitoring Matters in Substations

Substation transformers operate under continuous loading with limited tolerance for unplanned outages, so their condition needs to be visible at all times — not just during scheduled visits.

  • Continuous loading
  • Contrainte thermique
  • Vieillissement de l'isolation
  • Internal faults
  • Dégradation due au refroidissement
  • Détérioration des bagues
  • OLTC abnormalities
  • Remote / unattended substations

Periodic inspection provides only a snapshot, while online monitoring provides condition trends between inspections — see the broader picture in Surveillance des transformateurs de puissance.

What Should Be Monitored on a Substation Transformer?

  • Winding & Temperature — hot spot temperature, oil temperature, cooling performance.
  • Huile pour transformateurs — dissolved gas analysis, oil condition.
  • Isolation — partial discharge.
  • Douilles — insulation condition.
  • OLTC — operating condition.
  • Réservoirs et accessoires — oil level, pressure, fans / pumps.

Monitor Thermal Stress Under Real Operating Load

Substation transformers can experience varying and sometimes high load conditions, making direct visibility into thermal behavior important for condition assessment.

  • Points chauds d'enroulement
  • Top-oil temperature
  • Élévation de température liée à la charge
  • Réponse de refroidissement
  • Temperature trends
Chemical Evidence

Dissolved Gas Monitoring for Developing Internal Faults

Changes in dissolved gas trends can provide chemical evidence of developing conditions inside an oil-filled substation transformer.

  • Surchauffe interne
  • Electrical discharge
  • Dégradation de l'isolation
  • Fault development trends

Partial Discharge Monitoring for Insulation Risk
Electrical Evidence

Partial Discharge Monitoring for Insulation Risk

Partial discharge activity can be associated with developing insulation defects inside the transformer's high-voltage structures.

  • Apparition de défauts d'isolation
  • Discharge trends
  • Early abnormality indication
  • Condition assessment
Composants essentiels

Monitor Critical Transformer Components

Bushings and on-load tap changers can develop condition changes independently from the transformer winding and oil system. Dedicated online monitoring gives maintenance teams continuous trend information between scheduled inspections.

Transformer bushing condition monitoring in a substation

Surveillance des bagues

Online bushing monitoring provides continuous visibility into high-voltage bushing insulation condition and helps identify developing electrical abnormalities between scheduled inspections.

  • Capacitance and dielectric-condition trends
  • Leakage-current monitoring
  • Phase comparison and long-term trend review
  • Monitoring-tap signal acquisition where applicable
Transformer OLTC online monitoring system

Suivi OLTC

Online OLTC monitoring tracks tap-changer operating behavior and helps identify developing mechanical or electrical abnormalities during repeated switching operations.

  • Motor-drive current and operating behavior
  • Tap position and switching history
  • Operation count and condition trends
  • Temperature, vibration or timing information where configured
Oil System Condition

Oil Temperature, Level & Pressure Monitoring

For oil-immersed substation transformers, these three parameters provide a compact view of oil-system and tank operating condition.

  • Température de l'huile — supports thermal-condition and cooling-performance assessment.
  • Niveau d'huile — helps identify abnormal oil-volume changes, oil loss or leakage.
  • Pression — provides additional indication of abnormal tank or oil-system pressure conditions.

The integrated monitoring device combines oil temperature, oil level and pressure measurement in one unit for transformer condition monitoring.

Architecture

From Field Sensors to the Substation Control System

Bringing every monitored parameter into one centralized view is what separates substation-level monitoring from single-transformer monitoring.

Scale

Monitoring One Transformer or Multiple Substation Assets

Single Critical Transformer

A focused monitoring configuration built around one high-value or high-risk substation transformer.

Multiple Transformer Monitoring

A centralized configuration covering several transformers within the same substation under one monitoring and alarm view.

Monitoring architecture can scale according to transformer quantity and monitoring requirements.

Where It's Used

Typical Substation Monitoring Applications

Transmission Substations
High-voltage substations where transformer availability is critical to grid reliability.

Distribution Substations
Substations supplying end users, where continuous condition visibility supports service reliability.

Remote / Unattended Substations
Sites without permanent on-site staff, where remote monitoring is especially valuable.

Renewable Energy Substations
Substations serving wind, solar or other renewable generation with variable loading patterns.

Substation transformer monitoring supports asset visibility across Sous-stations and the wider Réseau électrique et services publics sector.

FAQ

Foire aux questions

What should be monitored on a substation transformer?

Typical parameters include winding and oil temperature, dissolved gases, partial discharge, bushing condition, OLTC condition, and oil level / pressure / cooling status.

Which parameters are most important for online monitoring?

This depends on transformer criticality, age and known concerns — critical or aging substation transformers generally benefit from broader parameter coverage.

What is the difference between protection and condition monitoring?

Protection systems act to isolate a transformer during a fault, while condition monitoring tracks ongoing trends to support maintenance planning — condition monitoring does not replace protection.

Can DGA and PD monitoring be used together?

Yes — they provide complementary chemical and electrical evidence and are often used together for a fuller condition picture.

Why monitor bushings and OLTC?

Ces deux éléments sont essentiels et peuvent présenter des problèmes indépendamment de l'isolation de l'enroulement principal ; ils ont donc tout intérêt à faire l'objet d'une surveillance spécifique.

Les capteurs de transformateur existants peuvent-ils être réutilisés ?

In many retrofit cases yes, depending on sensor type, condition and compatibility with the monitoring system.

Les données de surveillance peuvent-elles être reliées au système SCADA ?

Monitoring data can generally be made available to a substation SCADA or control system as part of the overall monitoring architecture; specific integration details depend on the project.

Tous les transformateurs nécessitent-ils la même configuration de surveillance ?

No — the appropriate configuration depends on transformer type, criticality, operating history and site requirements.
