WINDING INSULATION
USING RAYLEIGH REPARTITION
ABSTRACT
Smart grid technology is a new approach for promoting the energy efficiency and for accomplishing
the environment objectives. In this context, the lifetime of transformers have a great impact on the
quality of the delivered energy. The paper deals with a mathematical statistic method for estimation
of winding insulation lifetime of the power transformers, based on Rayleigh distribution. The
concept of the winding equivalent temperature is introduced.
Keywords: charge factor, normal repartition, Rayleigh repartition, equivalent temperature, life time.
