Summary:
Condition Assessment consists in the performance of a set of diagnostic tests for diagnosing the halthess state of an asset and estimating its present position in its life cycle. There is a necessity of a systemetic approach for combining the outcome of different diagnostic methods and mapping such results into a condition model that govern the life cycle of power transformer. In this contribution a methodology is proposed as an approach satisfying these necessities. The methodology is exemplified by means of a real case study in a 315 MVA Autotransformer. The obtained results illustrates the feasibility and robussnes of the propose method.
