Struggling with unregistered consumption, which has a negative impact on the country's economy and energy supply, Dicle Elektrik continues its goal of “becoming an R&D company”, which it put on the agenda after privatization.
The R&D Center, which has previously driven major projects in the sales sector, recently implemented the Hybrid Cooled Transformer Project, which can quickly dissipate the heat generated by hybrid cooling technology.
Pilot application launched
Within the scope of the project approved by the Energy Market Regulatory Authority (EPDK), the first transformer with a capacity of 630 KVA, manufactured in the R&D Center within the scope of an 18-month study, was easily used in the Bahçelievler district of Midyat district of Mardin within the scope of the pilot application.
Dicle Electric General Manager Yaşar Arvas, whose views were included in the statement, said that with the new generation transformer project, they have developed a new generation hybrid cooling system used in power transformers, unlike the air, water or oil-cooled systems in existing transformers.
Arvas provided information about the technical characteristics of the manufactured transformer and said:
“As part of the project, we have developed a new transformer design and cooling technology by applying a special graphene alloy coating with a high thermal conductivity coefficient to the outer periphery of the insulating oil-impregnated kraft paper on the outer part of the transformer windings and the inner part of the transformer tank. In addition, we have developed a new transformer design and cooling technology by applying a special graphene alloy coating with a high thermal conductivity coefficient. We have also used a Peltier cooling system, one of our hybrid cooling elements, for cooling. Since this Peltier cooling system provides its energy from the solar panel to be placed in the transformer building, it will not cause any additional grid loss during transformer cooling. In this way, we will provide an environmentally friendly service by using renewable energy.
Power outages due to disruption will decrease
Arvas discussed the positive impact of the project on transformers and shared the following information:
“With the implementation of the Hybrid Cooled Transformer Project, the transformers heated due to the overload caused by unregistered consumption, especially in rural and agricultural irrigation, will not burn as much as before. In Dicle Elektrik's sales area, 563 transformers will have burned in 2023 alone, and the number will increase to 563 in 2024. “In the first 6 months, 234 transformers exploded or burned due to overheating. In this way, transformer explosions and fires will be less frequent, as well as power outages due to overload.” Disruptions will also decrease.”
