Abstrakt: Oil immersed transformer is an important equipment ofpower system, whose fault is often caused by the aging of insulation. In actualoperation, accurate calculation of the temperature field, especially hot spottemperature of transformer winding, is very important for stabilizing the powergrid operation and extending the transformer life. In order to calculate thetransformer's hot spot temperature accurately, a new method which is based oncomparison of respective advantages of the FEM and FVM is used; we take a31.5MVA transformer as exemple, using the hybrid method of the FEM and the FVM,the three-dimensional temperature field of transformer is calculated. Bycomparing the figures of top oil temperature of transformer monitored by theoperating transformer and the figures calculated by mixed method, the marginerror of the hot spot temperature is only 1.9°C. While the IEEE guidelines formodel calculation results, the calculated results of FEM algorithm and FVMalgorithm results with the monitoring data of standard deviation were as highas 4.6 °C, 3.8 °C and 3.1 °C. The Calculation accuracy is much higher than theaccuracy of the result using IEEE regulatory model, FEM and FVM, proved thatthis mixed method can calculate the internal temperature field of oil immersedtransformer accurately.
