Applications of Biovolt Vegetable Oil
With the growing expansion of power networks worldwide, the use of insulating vegetable oils has expanded across the electrical sector in various types of transformers, from distribution network equipment to power transformers used in energy transmission and generation.
Distribution Transformers
The higher load capacity of transformers with vegetable oil allows the use of equipment with lower power capacity in the network, generating significant savings—from reducing the initial investment in new units to lowering technical losses.
Mobile Transformers
The use of vegetable oil in mobile transformers allows for maximizing power density compared to the size and weight of mineral oil designs, improving transport logistics for emergency operations.
Power Transformers
More compact designs, reduced spacing between equipment in substations, simplified fire-fighting systems, and lower insurance premiums due to reduced safety risks are some of the advantages of Biovolt vegetable oil, reinforcing its use in power transformers.
Transmission Networks
To ensure system expansion, in addition to investment concerns, it is essential that new lines offer reliability and performance compatible with industry requirements. In this context, the use of vegetable oil has provided significant benefits for transmission and power generation transformers.
Wind Power Generation
The operational characteristics of transformers in wind turbines significantly limit designs using mineral oil. Replacing it with vegetable oil is an important solution, offering benefits such as fire safety, environmental friendliness, compact designs, and overload capacity.
