The temperature of the hot-spots on windings is a crucial factor that can limit the overload capacity of the transformer. Few studies consider the impact of the load on the hot-spot when studying the hot-spot temperature and its location. In this paper, a thermal circuit model based on the thermoelectric analogy method is built to simulate the transformer winding and transformer oil temperature distribution. The hot-spot temperature and its location under different loads are qualitatively analyzed, and the hot-spot location is analyzed and compared to the experimental results. The results show that the hot-spot position on the winding under the rated power appears at 85.88% of the winding height, and the hot-spot position of the winding moves down by 5% in turn at 1.3, 1.48, and 1.73 times the rated power respectively.

AbstractSatellite measurements over the last three decades show a gradual decrease in solar output, which can be indicative as a precursor to a modern grand solar minimum (GSM). Using a chemistry–climate model, this study investigates the potential of two GSM scenarios with different magnitude to counteract the climate change by projected anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through the twenty-first century. To identify regions showing enhanced vulnerability to climate change (hot spots) and to estimate their response to a possible modern GSM, a multidimensional metric is applied that accounts for—in addition to changes in mean quantities—seasonal changes in the variability and occurrence of extreme events. We find that a future GSM in the middle of the twenty-first century would temporarily mitigate the global mean impact of anthropogenic climate change by 10%–23% depending on the GSM scenario. A future GSM would, however, not be able to stop anthropogenic global warming. For the GHG-only scenario, our hot-spot analysis suggests that the midlatitudes show a response to rising GHGs below global average, while in the tropics, climate change hot spots with more frequent extreme hot seasons will develop during the twenty-first century. A GSM would reduce the climate change warming in all regions. The GHG-induced warming in Arctic winter would be dampened in a GSM due to the impact of reduced solar irradiance on Arctic sea ice. However, even an extreme GSM could only mitigate a fraction of the tropical hot-spot pattern (up to 24%) in the long term.

Driven by shrinking feature sizes, microprocessor hot spots have emerged as the primary driver for on-chip cooling of today’s IC technologies. Current thermal management technologies offer few choices for such on-chip hot spot remediation. A solid state germanium self-cooling layer, fabricated on top of the silicon chip, is proposed and demonstrated to have great promise for reducing the severity of on-chip hot spots. 3D thermo-electrical coupled simulations are used to investigate the effectiveness of a bi-layer device containing a germanium self-cooling layer above an electrically insulated silicon layer. The parametric variables of applied current, cooler size, silicon percentage, and total die thickness are sequentially optimized for the lowest hot spot temperature compared to a non-self-cooled silicon chip. Results suggest that the localized self-cooling of the germanium layer coupled with the higher thermal conductivity of the silicon chip can significantly reduce the temperature rise resulting from a micro-scaled hot spot.

The internal temperature of the transformer is a key parameter to measure the thermal state of the transformer. The service life of the transformer generally depends on the life of the insulating material, and high temperature is the main reason why cause insulation aging, this paper studies the temperature rise of transformer winding hot spot temperature for the key, using the neural network forecasting method, forecasts transformer winding hot spot temperature change rule, calculate the transformer internal temperature rise, provide the temperature of the scientific basis for the safe operation of the transformer.


This paper describes an experimental study of the initiation of solid explosives, and in particular the effect of artificially introducing transient hot spots of known maximum temperature. This was done by adding small foreign particles (or grit) of known melting-point. The minimum transient hot-spot temperature for the initiation of a number of secondary and primary explosives has been determined in this way. It is shown that the melting-point of the grit is the determining factor , and all the grits which sensitize these explosives to initiation either by friction or impact have melting-points above a threshold value which lies between 400 and 550 ° C. Grit particles of lower melting-point do not sensitize the explosives. The same explosives initiated by the adiabatic compression of air required, for initiation, minimum transient temperatures of the same order as the threshold melting-point values. The results provide strong evidence that the initiation of solids as well as of liquids by friction and impact is thermal in origin and is due to the formation of localized hot spots. There is evidence that in the case of the majority of secondary explosives which melt at comparatively low temperatures, intergranular friction is not able to cause explosion and the hot spots must be formed in some other way. With the primary explosives which explode at temperatures below their melting-points, hot spots formed by intergranular friction can be important.

The assessment of the winding deformation of transformer has a certain practical significance. In this paper, an Improved Ultrasonic Ranging (IUR) method is proposed to assess the winding deformation of transformer. Firstly, the basic principle of winding deformation detection using ultrasonic and the working principle of detection device are discussed. Secondly, the impact of the factors such as transformer oil temperature and echo signal attenuation on the test results is analyzed. Then, a new IUR method is composed, which can realize the on-line monitoring of transformer winding deformation. Finally, an assessment equipment of transformer winding deformation based on the online monitoring is developed, and a prototype is used to test the transformer mode, proving that this method is feasible.

Thehottest spot temperature (HST) of windings of oil-immersed transformer is animportant factor that affects load capacity and operation life of transformer,and is closely related to the transformer load, top oil and environmenttemperature. HST, when operating at high temperature and overload, may lead totransformer failure which will affect the normal operation of the power system.In order to calculate the transformer hot spot temperature accurately, we takea 33MVA-500KV transformer as an example, and establish a three dimensionalmodel, get its internal temperature distribution based on Fluent simulationsoftware. At last, we comparative and analysis the accuracy of FVM calculation andIEEE guidelines recommend model combined with online monitored values. Theresults show that the FVM method with higher accuracy relative to the IEEEguidelines model, proved that using the FVM can accurately calculate the HST ofoil-immersed transformer.

In this paper, the CFD (computational fluid dynamics) model is established for the low voltage winding region of an oil-immersed transformer according to the design parameters, and the detailed temperature distribution within the region is obtained by numerical simulation. On this basis, the RSM (response surface methodology) is adopted to optimize the structure parameters with the purpose of minimizing the hot spot temperature. After a sequence of designed experiments, the second-order polynomial response surface and the SVM (support vector machine) response surface are established respectively. The analysis of their errors shows that the SVM response surface can be better used to fit the approximation. Finally, the PSO (particle swarm optimization) algorithm is employed to get the optimal structure parameters of the winding based on the SVM response surface. The results show that the optimization method can significantly reduce the hot spot temperature of the winding, which provides a guiding direction for the optimal design of the winding structure of transformers.
