HYDRAN-M2 module

HYDRAN-M2

General Information
When an unexpected failure of a critical transformer occurs, the operational and economical impacts on the utiIity are substantial. Today, many existing oil-insulated transformers used by electrical utilities and other industries are approaching the end of their design life and are experiencing significantIy higher probabilities of failures.

The InteIIix M0150 transformer monitoring system, from GE Energy, is a dynamic, intelligent, cost-effective solution which provides comprehensive monitoring and interactive transformer condition diagnostics.

Based on field-proven technoIogy, the InteIIix M0150 uses various sensors such as the Hydran M2 and state-of-the-art transformer mathematical models based on IEEE® or IEC® standards, to provide real-time information on the overall performance of the transformer to assist utility operations managers and system operators in making critical decisions.

Description

HYDRAN-M2

General Information
Transformers are key and expensive components of the electrical grid and knowledge of their health condition is essential to having a reliable network. When a transformer’s insulation system is overstressed, gases are produced that dissolve in the oil. Dissolved Gas-in-oil Analysis (DGA ) is recognized as the best indicator of developing faults.

The Hydran M2 is a continuous on-line dissolved composite gas (Hydrogen (H2), Carbon monoxide (CO), Ethylene (C2H4), Acetylene (C2H2), and moisture in oil monitoring device that alerts personnel of developing fault conditions in their transformer . It provides key monitoring information and minimizes the risk of unplanned outages.

Through the connection of additional sensors (for example top and bottom tank oil temperature, transformer load or ambient temperature), additional information can be captured and used to correlate with DGA and moisture values ​​for a more in-depth analysis of the transformer’s condition.

This wealth of data can, not only be transmitted raw using the M2’s wide range of communication options but can also be converted into useful information through the on-board calculation of IEEE® standard’s based transformer mathematical models in order to provide further condition information.
