DOI 10.1109/sibcon.2017.7998478
Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Transformer operation conditions are quite crucial for industry as they have significant influence on transformer remained lifetime. This influence becomes even more significant once transformer operates at high ambient temperature. Hence, development of an intelligent system that able to monitor the effect of environmental conditions on remained lifetime together with aging rate, and provide information in real time is substantial. This study is focused on an online system forecasting transformer aging rate and remained life. To evaluate the proposed model, simulation results are compared to calculations proposed by IEC standards. Moreover, system's behavior under real life conditions is analyzed and results suggesting possible industry enhancements are provided.
