The Role of Automated Monitoring Systems in Increasing the Reliability and Extension of the Service Life of Transformers in Distribution Networks

The quality of power supply and network stability largely depend on the technical condition of distribution transformers. In recent approaches, the model based on periodic inspections is being replaced by automated monitoring systems that monitor in real time, detect faults early, and accelerate dispatching decisions. The article describes the importance of temperature, load, oil condition, humidity, and SCADA integration in increasing transformer reliability, extending service life, and ensuring network stability based on a scientific and methodological approach.
