General contractors for transformers facilitate the energy transition

General contractors for transformers facilitate the energy transition
5:04

The energy transition is an important step towards a more sustainable future, and general contractors play a crucial role in facilitating this change, especially when it comes to the installation and maintenance of transformers. General contractors provide expertise and services for the reliable and efficient integration of transformers into energy systems that distribute electricity from renewable energy sources.

 

To ensure the successful use of transformers in new energy infrastructures, specialised service providers offer comprehensive installation and commissioning services. 

 

Installation and commissioning of transformers - it all depends on the service provider

Different providers have the technical expertise and experience required to handle complex tasks, including site assessment, engineering, installation and subsequent management of the transformers.  

There are service providers that offer complete packages and those that offer individual services. The more diversified a service provider is, the more services it can offer:

1. Consultancy and site assessment:

Professional assessment to determine whether the appropriate placement of the transformer has been determined.   

2. Knowledge of regulations:

Adapting designs to specific energy requirements and restrictions.  

3. Sourcing of resources:

Sourcing of quality materials and components required for optimal transformer performance. Such as experienced engineers or the appropriate transformer oil.  

4. Installation and testing:

Implementing safe installation practices and conducting thorough performance testing.  

5. Services after installation:

Additional tasks, such as regular analyses of the transformer oil including consulting services, insulating oil treatment and the recycling of insulating oils, both during operation and stationary in one of our own production facilities.  

6. Transformer management:

A transformer data management system that enables cost-efficient asset management through seamless documentation.

 

General contractors for transformers are responsible for providing a wide range of services and are available to clients as a point of contact for all tasks. They ensure that the transformers are commissioned safely, are fully functional and meet all legal and safety requirements in order to minimise downtimes and maximise efficiency during subsequent operation.   



General contractors for transformers also support transformer operators

Efficient management of transformers is crucial for their longevity and functionality. Regular maintenance, including servicing, routine inspections, diagnostic tests and timely repairs are key.  

Implementing a structured management plan not only improves performance, but also reduces the risk of failure and extends the life of the transformer. In addition to the documentation of important transformer data, this schedule also includes:  

  • Routine inspections: Regular monitoring of physical conditions and operating parameters.  
  • Diagnostic testing: Utilising the latest technology for early detection of potential problems.  
  • Repairs and retrofits: Promptly addressing signs of wear or system upgrades to maintain optimal performance.  
  • Maintenance records: Detailed records of maintenance activities for future reference.

General contractors for transformers offer comprehensive insulating oil solutions

Insulating oil is critical to keeping transformers in optimal condition by cooling and electrically insulating the components. Over time, the oil can deteriorate due to heat and contamination, so effective measures are required to maintain the efficiency and safety of transformers, such as:  

  • Oil testing and monitoring: Regular oil quality checks to detect moisture, acid formation and gas formation.
  • Filtering and cleaning: Removal of contaminants and restoration of oil properties to extend service life.  
  • Recycling or disposal: Environmentally sound disposal methods for end-of-life transformer oil or recycling for still valuable insulating oil that can be reintroduced into the cycle.  
  • Guidance and Technical Support: Providing expert advice and troubleshooting assistance to ensure efficient oil management practices are implemented and maintained.

Conclusion: General contractors for transformers make an important contribution to the energy transition with their diverse range of services

Specialised general contractors are key partners for the successful integration and management of transformers as part of the energy transition. They offer comprehensive expertise across the entire life cycle of a transformer - from installation to ongoing maintenance. Only a few providers are able to take on the complete responsibility of a general contractor. With 70 years of experience and a strong focus on quality, Electrical Oil Services (EOS) is ideally positioned to reliably fulfil these requirements for you.
