Hot Weather Increases Risk of Transformer Failure. Power grids worldwide are under mounting stress as climate change drives higher temperatures and more extreme weather, accelerating wear on aging transformer fleets. Insulation life halves for every 8°C above design temperature, and oil oxidation rate doubles for every 10°C rise in top oil-temperature.
Our recommendations: track top oil-temperature continuously, verify cooling equipment before peak load and pair that with continuous dissolved-gas monitoring, such as a GRIDSCAN® hydrogen monitoring system, to flag faults before they cause a failure. Read more.
AI Data Center Growth Could Force Rethink of Power Generation. BofA sees a widening gap between utility plans to expand power generation and the power that data centers are forecasted to need. Data center developers may be forced to generate some power on site. The combination of self-generation and traditional grid connections could improve reliability and shorten project timelines. Data center managers should learn from utilities and adopt transformer maintenance best practices, including continuous gas monitoring to detect incipient faults. Read more.
