The aim is to analyze the life-cycle impacts of distribution transformers due to power losses and aging effects under real-world conditions.
Conducted life-cycle analysis based on measured data from oil-immersed transformers.
Analyzed no-load and short-circuit losses in relation to operational duration and transformer characteristics.
Developed statistical models to capture loss variations influenced by external factors.
Integrated effects of abnormal operating conditions into a unified framework.
Identified significant variations in power losses due to aging and operational conditions.
Proposed a model for estimating time evolution of energy losses for decision support.
Demonstrated cost-effectiveness of repair versus replacement through numerical analysis, incorporating carbon costs.
