Camlin provides transformer monitoring system for wind farm operator in Spain

SPAIN -- Wind farm operator Renomar has recently installed Camlin's transformer monitoring system at its Morella wind farm in Valencia, producing up to 395 MW of power.

Camlin's monitoring system provides nine-gas dissolved gas analysis (DGA), partial discharge (PD) and bushing monitoring (BM) on the 450 MVA (132/400kV) transformer at the Morella site, the manufacturer said in a press release.

Continuous monitoring allows the asset manager to identify and classify faults, monitor how those faults are developing, understand the risk that any faults represent to the transformer and identify actions that should be taken to manage that risk.

For asset managers, Camlin provides a transformer analytics tools which presents information in graphics and reports, removing ambiguity or potential for misinterpretation of data, as well as transformer expert support for more technical queries and in-depth analysis, the manufacturer said in a press release.

Speaking after the installation, José Carretero, O&M Manager, Renomar, said: "We selected Camlin because of their experience in monitoring these critical transformers for the wind sector and their Total Transformer Monitoring system provides diagnostics for all the major transformer failure modes in a single solution."
