Abstract

An accurate simulation and computational analysis of temperature distribution in large power transformers used in power plants is crucial during both the design and operational phases. This study introduces a thermal modeling analysis encompassing two- and three-dimensional (2D and 3D) approaches for power transformers. The mathematical model for heat diffusion follows the Finite Element Method (FEM) approach. Validation of the computed results involves comparing them against measurements from Hyundai’s test report for both 2D and 3D models, aiming to identify the most effective solution. Additionally, the thermal dynamics of power transformers under diverse operational conditions, specifically oil-immersed ones, are examined. The efficacy of this model is confirmed through testing on a step-up transformer at Kureimat station in Egypt, with specifications including three-phase, 50 Hz, 16.5/240 KV, nine taps, and cooling type (ONAN/ONAF1/ONAF2).
