Current Probability of Failure for 33/10kV and 66/10kV Transformers

Description

This function calculates the current annual probability of failure for 33/10kV and 66/10kV transformers. The function is a cubic curve that is based on the first three terms of the Taylor series for an exponential function. For more information about the probability of failure function see section 6 on page 34 in CNAIM (2021).

Arguments

transformer_type

String. A sting that refers to the specific asset category. See See page 17, table 1 in CNAIM (2021). Options: transformer_type = c("33kV Transformer (GM)", "66kV Transformer (GM)"). The default setting is transformer_type = "66kV Transformer (GM)"

year_of_manufacture

Numeric. Normal expected life depends on the year for manufacture, see page 107 table 20 in CNAIM (2021).

utilisation_pct

Numeric. The max percentage of utilisation under normal operating conditions.

no_taps

Numeric. Average number of daily taps (tapchanger).

placement

String. Specify if the asset is located outdoor or indoor. A setting of "Outdoor" means the asset is located in an outside environment, and a setting of "Indoor" means the asset is located in an indoor environment. A setting of "Default" will result in either an indoor or an outdoor environment setting that depends on the specification of asset_type. See page 110-113, table 26 in CNAIM (2021) for default environments.

altitude_m

Numeric. Specify the altitude location for the asset measured in meters from sea level.altitude_m is used to derive the altitude factor. See page 111, table 23 in CNAIM (2021). A setting of "Default" will set the altitude factor to 1 independent of asset_type.

distance_from_coast_km

Numeric. Specify the distance from the coast measured in kilometers. distance_from_coast_km is used to derive the distance from coast factor See page 110, table 22 in CNAIM (2021). A setting of "Default" will set the distance from coast factor to 1 independent of asset_type.

Numeric. The current age in years of the tapchanger

partial_discharge_tf
