    GENERATION STEP UP (GSU) TRANSFORMER MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS (TMS)

    FACT SHEET
    Overview:
    Many GSUs are approaching the end of their design life and are experiencing significantly higher probabilities of unexpected failures. When an unexpected failure of a GSU occurs the impact on the operation of the plant and on the business owner of the plant is dramatic. To assist the owners with managing these assets and operational risk, GE has developed pre-packaged online Transformer Management Systems (TMS). These systems provide comprehensive monitoring with a range of sensors and add online condition analysis models to further assist the operators. The TMS, with sensors such as the Hydran, are capable of monitoring and performing on-line analysis to detect the majority of prevalent failure modes other than instantaneous catastrophic events, such as lightning. In most cases, detection is possible before the unit experiences catastrophic failure, thus avoiding expensive replacement, clean-up costs, and unplanned downtime. Early detection and the possibility to extend transformer life through the use of aging equipment brings significant business and operational benefits. Key Benefits:

    Industry Recommendations to Reduce Probability of Unplanned Outages:


    I

    Establish preventive and predictive maintenance programs: Use actual condition information for maintenance and repair decisions

    Implement comprehensive on-site conditon assessment program: Parameters are recorded automatically saving time and preventing errors. Measurements are made continuously with immediate alarms if applicable. Consistently and effectively measure transformers vital signs: The on-line system provides continuous measurement, trending and data storage.

    I I

    Reduce the probability of an unplanned outage with continuous condition monitoring Defer replacement costs while maintaining reduced probability of unexpected failures Optimize equipment life by monitoring cooling system performance Develop maintenance and repair plans based on actual conditions Mitigate risks for staff safety and environmental impacts Reduce maintenance and monitoring costs
