High temperatures continue, and power grid employees take a shower to cool down transformers
Recently, Chongqing Fengdu Meteorological Observatory issued a "high-temperature red warning signal," and the highest daily temperature in many parts of the county will rise to over 40 ℃. Affected by the continuous high temperature, the general public has gathered to use cooling appliances such as air conditioners and electric fans. The power supply load continues to rise, and the power supply equipment is also operating at high loads. The hot weather brings pressure to the operation of the power grid.
On August 9th, in the 110 kV Sanhe substation in Fengdu County, a suffocating heat wave hit the face. The reporter saw at the scene that power grid employees wearing work clothes and safety helmets were cooling down the transformer.
Power grid employees use fog cannon machines to wash and cool transformers with water to ensure the reliable operation of the equipment.
It is understood that transformers are the "heart" of substations and play a crucial role in voltage transformation during power grid operation. Affected by consecutive days of high-temperature weather, in order to prevent transformers from "heatstroke" strikes under high temperatures, State Grid Fengdu Power Supply Company periodically conducts infrared temperature measurements on substation equipment and takes multiple measures to help the main transformer "reduce fever and cool down."
In response to the recent high-temperature weather, we have increased our efforts to ensure the operation and maintenance of power grid equipment, strengthened load monitoring, increased infrared temperature measurement, night patrols, special patrols, and other work of substation equipment, monitored the oil temperature of the main transformer at any time, and promptly eliminated equipment safety hazards.
It is reported that since the beginning of summer, State Grid Power Supply Company has dispatched over 70 people every day to conduct special patrols and live detection on critical substations and heavy-duty lines. All levels of emergency repair duty personnel are on standby 24 hours a day to ensure the timely recovery of various equipment failures and to provide a power supply guarantee in hot weather to protect the "coolness" of citizens. Transformers have an extensive range of applications in power systems and industrial automation, and their application prospects are closely related to the development of power systems and energy policies. Along with the development of new energy generation and smart grids, transformers will play a more critical role.
Application of Transformers
Power system: Transformers are essential equipment in the power system. It is used to increase or decrease voltage for easy transmission and distribution. Through transformers, the power system can convert the low voltage generated by the power plant into high voltage to reduce energy loss during transmission. Then, in close proximity to the user, the transformer lowers the voltage to an appropriate level.
Industrial applications: In many industrial applications, transformers are required to provide stable voltage and current. For example, in heavy industries such as steel, chemical, and paper, transformers provide power for various large equipment. In addition, transformers are widely used in automated production lines and robotics technology.
New energy generation: The application of transformers in new energy generation systems is becoming increasingly important. In these systems, transformers are used to regulate voltage to ensure smooth integration with the power grid.
Data centers and communication facilities: Data centers and communication facilities require a large amount of electricity to run devices such as servers, routers, and switches. In these facilities, transformers are used to regulate voltage and provide a stable power supply.
Electric vehicle charging station: In an electric vehicle charging station, a transformer is used to convert high voltage into low voltage in order to charge the electric vehicle.
Railway and subway systems: In railway and subway systems, transformers are used to provide traction current for trains to operate.
