Replacement and Investment Strategy for Distribution Transformers in Rural Area Based on Life Cycle Cost Theory and Risk Assessment
The current 10 kV distribution transformers in rural area can hardly satisfy the gradually increasing power demand due to the aging-failure. Facing this challenge
a novel decision approach for the replacement of aged transformers is developed with life cycle cost theory and risk assessment. The proposed approach considers the impacts of operating time
supply reliability and heavy load to transformer economic life
which remedies the limitation of the conventional approach. Furthermore
the methodology based on risk assessment is also utilized in the final investment strategy. A replacement order for nine aged transformers of a rural distribution network in southern Shaanxi is arranged. The numerical results indicate that the proposed approach enables to make a more reasonable investment decision and to reflect the adverse impacts of poor reliability and heavy load on the economic life of transformers. This approach improves the cost-effectiveness of transformer replacement by reducing 2.93% of the total cost.
