Project summary

Funding mechanism:

IFI

Expenditure:

£274,000

Summary

Documents

An oil level monitoring (OLM) system will be developed and trialled that can be retrofitted to substation plant in non-outage conditions. The trial will be based at the Oil Management Unit in Thorpe Marsh and involve attaching a sensor to two transformer oil storage tanks. By artificially imposing a leak on either or both of the tanks the sensitivity of the monitoring equipment can be evaluated. The effects of environmental changes on oil level will also be evaluated.

Objectives

The development of low cost adaptable Oil Level monitors to detect leaks.
