Interview with then Project Manager Albert Schmidbauer

VACUTAP® VM® – A Worthy Successor for the OILTAP® M

MR has successfully manufactured and sold VACUTAP®-brand vacuum tap changers, which offer countless advantages over oil-based technology, for many years. For this reason, many clients have fully switched to vacuum technology from MR. In light of this, we have removed the OILTAP® M on-load tap-changer from our product range and stopped series production as of 31 December 2020. Then Project Manager Albert Schmidbauer discusses the advantages of the VACUTAP® series.

MR China (MRT) is supplying on-load tap-changers for the largest UHVDC project in the world

VACUTAP® VR ensures constant voltage in China's record-breaking ultra-high-voltage network

The 1100 kV UHVDC project from Changji to Guquan is the largest UHVDC project in the world. As the backbone of the Chinese electricity supply system, the ultra-high-voltage network will feature a transmission capacity of twelve gigawatts and will transport electricity over a record-breaking distance of 3,284 kilometers from western and northern China to the urban areas in the east and south.

GE OLTC replacement by VACUTAP® RMV-II in Mexican Cement Plant

Mission in the Mexican jungle: Sociedad Cooperativa Cruz Azul, a cement company with almost 90 years of history in México, needed to modernize two old GE transformers at its plant in Lagunas Oaxaca. The problem: the OLTCs in the transformers were defective and the original manufacturer no longer produces them. Furthermore, neither service nor spare parts are available on the market for such OLTCs. This was therefore a job for the service specialists of Reinhausen Mexico (RMX) and the VACUTAP® RMV-II.

Siemens supplied 28 transformers for the converter station of a high-voltage direct current transmission (HVDC) project in China. And they included tap changers and composite hollow insulators from Reinhausen.

The most powerful transformers in the world for a 1,100 kV HVDC line in China

China's economy is growing rapidly, as is the corresponding demand for more and more electricity to sustain its glistening megacities. To help the metropolises become cleaner, even more renewable energy will be used in the future. But the favorable conditions needed to generate it are found far away from the urban areas in the east. Instead, they are found in the sparsely populated western part of the country, such as Xinjiang province. There, it is very windy and there are many hours of sunshine, as well as numerous rivers to generate hydropower. The challenge is to transport the energy over great distances to the east while keeping losses at a minimum.

First UVT-LTX Retrofit Project in Mexico

In August 2018, Reinhausen Mexico (RMX) successfully completed the first UVT-LTX retrofit project in Mexico in order to help a company located in the Mexican state of Nuevo León which was having problems with a UVT on-load tap-changer manufactured by Westinghouse in 1981. The UVT needed to be repaired because the aged vacuum interrupters were causing disruptions of the monitoring system.

The energy transition, sector coupling and population growth are causing the demand for electrical energy to grow enormously. The trend is therefore toward ever larger and more powerful transformers. Three areas are particularly affected by this.

Time of the giants: XXL transformers for more power

The departure from fossil fuels and the massive expansion of wind and solar plants is only one side of the coin when it comes to the future of the grids. The other is that at the same time the demand for electricity is rising rapidly. Not only because mobility and heat are becoming electric, but also because more and more people need electricity to live: According to UN forecasts, the world's population will rise to around 10 billion by 2060. But if more electricity is to flow, we need more lines and larger transformers.

New VACUTAP® VM® ensures Tata Steel Manufacturing operational reliability for years to come

Maintenance free and worry free for many years - thanks to OLTC retrofit

What do you do if your transformer is in good condition, but the on-load tap-changer (OLTC) is at the end of its service life after more than 4,000,000 switching operations in an arc-furnace application? This was the question facing SISCO Plant, a company of the Tata Steel Manufacturing (Thailand) group. The answer from Reinhausen (Thailand) Ltd. was the on-site installation of a maintenance-free VACUTAP® VM® in combination with a general refurbishment of the 42 MVA furnace transformer from the Italian manufacturer Tamini.

Reinhausen modernizes old transformers with new tap changers, thus extending their service life. This is the case for grid operator Elia in Belgium.

Retrofit: Breathing new life into old transformers thanks to new tap changers

A power transformer that has been in use for many years is like a person: It ages and needs more regular health checkups. Over time, this cost adds up – especially if the transformer requires replacement parts that are no longer available or are hard to come by.

To ensure that volatile load flows from renewable energies are optimally distributed in the grid, TenneT's Würgau substation now has four new phase shifters - with on-load tap-changers from MR.

940 tons of power regulation

The more renewable energies flow through our grids, the stronger the power fluctuations become - also due to weather conditions. To compensate for overloads on the one hand and bottlenecks on the other, expensive redispatch measures are usually necessary. Phase-shifting transformers (PSTs) enable distribution system operators like Tennet to control load flows, save costs, and keep grids stable despite volatile generators: They shift the overload from one power line to others in such a way that the grid as a whole is better utilized. Four new PSTs with on-load tap-changers from MR now ensure this at the Würgau substation. In the video, this project is discussed by Dr. Florian Martin, Head of Asset Technology at TenneT, and Wilfried Breuer, Managing Director of MR.

Transformer manufacturer Daihen Electric relies on Reinhausen quality

Nowadays, many transformer manufacturers aim to offer lowest price among the competition. Suppliers are trying to undercut each other more and more. But not Daihen Electric from Thailand. For this transformer manufacturer, the aspects of quality, reliability and long service life are more important than lowest price only. For many years, Daihen Electric has relied on its cooperation with Reinhausen in this regard.

Digitalization and the resilience of critical grid infrastructure

We are already digitalizing critical grid equipment with the help of ETOS®, our open operating system for power transformers. The combination of VACUTAP® tap changers, MSENSE® sensors, communication-capable edge computing, and intelligent analytics is creating the prerequisite for dynamically optimized transformer operations management – with lower acquisition and operating costs, reduced downtimes and a high resilience to changing requirements. In addition, we are supporting grid operators in recording the condition of their transformer fleet and in realizing optimized maintenance and replacement concepts. But that is not all: We are available as the expert service provider for the entire life cycle of the transformer, both remotely and on site – from installation to commissioning, through maintenance work and retrofitting all the way to decommissioning.

Supporting you best, even at a distance

Virtual customer service

The current Corona restrictions continue to limit our service business since the travel necessary for our service specialists to provide maintenance, commissioning and in-time troubleshooting at customers’ sites is often not possible. To provide you with the best possible and immediate support despite the difficult Corona situation, we have developed various virtual formats such as remote support, live maintenance tutorials and online training and seminars to support you optimally, even from a distance.

On the one hand, there are more and more renewable producers that generate direct current. On the other hand, there is a growing number of consumers such as electric cars that need it. Are DC grids therefore the future?
