Cooling control of power transformers is traditionally provided by a
winding temperature indicator (WTI) that is
based on a measurement of the top-oil temperature and a simulation of
the winding hottest spot temperature.
This method has some drawbacks and utilities are now considering the
application of fiber optic temperature
sensors for this critical function.
