Transformer and Reactor Procurement
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-030-80468-8 (ISBN)
This Green Book provides those involved in transformer procurement with comprehensive guidance on industry best practice to avoid wrong decisions. Transformers are one of the expensive components in the power system, and also contribute a large proportion of the losses. Transformers also have long lives - more than 40 years in many cases. Making the wrong decisions during the procurement process can have serious and long-lasting consequences.
lt;b> Study Committee A2 is responsible for all aspects of power transformers and reactors with CIGRE, throughout their life cycle from procurement to disposal. Study Committee A2 places a special emphasis on innovative solutions to problems facing both manufacturers and users. A power transformer is a non-mechanical apparatus used to change the voltage, but not the frequency, of an alternating current supply. Power transformers play an essential role in the generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity. A reactor is a non-mechanical apparatus of similar design and construction to a power transformer, used to control voltages or currents in parts of the electricity network.
Gilson M Bastos was born in Brazil in 1954 and graduated in Electrcial Engineering from the Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro in 1979. He joined Furnas Centrais Eletricas, one of the largest utilities in Brazil, and working as transformer engineer and electrical equipment engineer up to 2007. From 2007 to 2013 he worked in the renewable energy area as manager of the planning department. From 2014 until his retirement from Furnas in 2017, he was in charge of all transmission projects. Following his retirement from Furnas, he has joined MSG Transmission, where he is responsible for new 500kV transmission projects.
He has been an active member of CIGRE for many years. He was a member of working groups A2.27 on condition monitoring facilities, A2/B4.28 on HVDC transformers, and A2.37 on transformer reliability. He was also regular member for Brazil on SC A2 between 2014 and 2020.
Tom Breckenridge was born in Scotland in 1955. He studied Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the University of Glasgow between 1973 and 1977. He joined the South of Scotland Electricity Board in 1978, initially as an operational engineer within the distribution field. A move to transmission substation design followed in 1996, where he also assumed the role as principal transformer expert for Scottish Power responsible for specification purchasing and approval of all transformers. Leaving Scottish Power in 2006, he founded TB TCS Ltd through which he provides specialist services in the field of large power transformers on a global basis, primarily operating in the procurement area.
He is a registered European Engineer, a fellow of the IET, a UK Chartered Engineer, and a Distinguished Member of CIGRE. He is a long-time member of British Standards PEL/14 committee for Power Transformers and a member of a number of IEC maintenance teams under IEC TC14 where he was also convener for the latest version of IEC/IEEE standard 60076-16 for wind turbine transformers. He was convenor of CIGRE working group A2.36 on transformer procurement.Michael Lamb was born in the United States in 1966. He is currently Manager of Electric Transmission Operations Engineering in the Power Delivery Group at Dominion Energy in Richmond Virginia, United States. He joined Dominion Energy in 1988 and has held a number of engineering positions during his career with experience in electric substation and transmission line design and maintenance; distribution system planning and operations; and system operations contingency analysis and transmission open access. Prior to his current position, he was Principal Engineer in Electric Transmission Operations Engineering responsible for the technical oversight of the power transformer procurement process in support of all Dominion Energy's business units. He now leads a team of specialized engineers responsible for major electric transmission equipment specifications; system analysis; technical investigations and root cause analyses; and providing analysis and guidance for emerging technological challenges.
He became a member of CIGRE in 2007. He
