In recent years, the European economy is moving into the direction indicated by the economic priorities and the need of maintaining competitiveness. These trends do not exclude the field of power industry, on the contrary, services dealing with the movement maintenance as well as those ones responsible for planning of the development and investments are under constant pressure to increase reliability while reducing funds for the current operating. Transformers are one of the key link of the power supply chain, both for the technical reasons as well as the economic ones. At the same time statistics show that their average age overruns assumed by the designers time of 30 years. Considering the above, it is clear that their rapid exchange is impossible for technical and economic reasons! The extension of the transformerąs "life" becomes a necessity! Thus as a consequence, the costs and associated with them risks are today one of the most important issues to face by the operating services. This is why we have decided that the next edition of the VII Conference "Transformers in Operation" will be dedicated to the broadly understood issue of extending the transformers' "life" time. Experience shows that the properly utilized transformer can be operated for fifty years or even more!
However, the problems associated with the reliability of all kinds of the transformers' accessories appear much earlier, which significantly affects the reliability of a given unit. It is therefore necessary to develop appropriate procedures taking into account the honest assessment of the technical condition of transformers, to nominate eligible individuals qualifying themselves to the life extension as well as the selection of the optimal range of modernization (if possible on-site installation). The upcoming conference coincides with the 15-jubilee anniversary of our company. To thank you for your trust for the last fifteen years, we have prepared a variety of activities that will make this meeting remain in your memory for a long time!
We would like to kindly invite you to attend this meeting and celebrate with us.
Best regards, on behalf of the organizers
