Depending on the type and size the weights span from 50 to 500 metric tonnes which means that they are very heavy and bulky to handle and to arrange on an actual working location within a power network. When such a transformer breaks down or needs maintenance, of course the owner wants to have the transformer back in service as soon as possible, which means that the down-time has to be minimized. The down-time causes inter alia loss of production of energy or products, loss of revenue, risk of network support which may cause a major network breakdown and risk of losing delivery contracts. Conventionally repair has involved disassembly and lifting of the transformer onto a heavy duty vehicle, shipping of the transformer to factory or work shop and repairing the transformer at the factory site, including repair, assembly, testing and disassembly before shipping the transformer back to the operation site and installing. In all this is both costly and entails rather long shut down periods up to and sometimes exceeding a month, which is a great disadvantage forWO 2007/120111 2 PCTISE2007/050241 10 15 20 25 30 the owner. Especially larger transformers that are very heavy require special equipment such as heavy lifting equipment and special heavy duty vehicles in order to move the transformer from the operation site to the repair factory. SHORT DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The aim of the present invention is to provide a method which facilitates the repair of heavy machine parts such as power transformers, which also reduces the down time and is more economical than the conventional methods for repairing such equipment. This aim is solved by a method according to the characterising features of claim 1. Preferred embodiments of the method according to the invention are subject of the dependent claims. According to a main aspect of the invention it is characterised by a method of repairing a transformer or the like machine part comprising the steps of temporarily covering a work site comprising said transformer, lifting components of said transformer for disassembly, keeping critical objects of said components dry, repairing said transformer, lifting components for assembly, drying the assembled transformer, testing the assembled transformer. Critical objects or components of the transformer are referred to as any of the components that are part of the electrical, thermal and mechanical systems thereof. The main critical components of the transformer are: the core, the windings, the insulation components, solid as well as liquid, the bushings, the tap-changer if the transformer has such one, the clamping system, cooling system ( pumps, heat exchangers, coolers). According to another aspect of the invention the lifting of said components is performed by a mobile crane for lighter components or alternatively by hydraulic vertical columns lifting device for heavier components.WO 2007/120111 3 PCTISE2007/050241 10 15 20 25 30 According to yet an aspect of the invention, the keeping of components dry comprises covering them with moisture impermeable material, alternatively or in addition, arranging an enclosure around said components and keeping said enclosure at over-pressure by dry air. According to a further aspect of the invention, said assembled transformer is dried by using low frequency heating in combination with hot oil. Preferably, the oil to which said components are subjected has a temperature sufficient to cause evaporation of water present in or on said components. The oil normally has a temperature above 70 °C. The hot oil is either sprayed onto the relevant components, typically the insulation, of the transformer or circulated around said components of the transformer, and in contact with said components. Preferably the drying is performed under vacuum-like conditions. Pressures at or below approximately 50 mbar, preferably at or below approximately 10 mbar, are preferred when the maximum vacuum is applied. However, lower vacuum, i.e. a higher pressure, might be used for some stages of the proces: According to yet an aspect of the invention, the testing of the transformer comprises an induced-voltage test. Further the testing of the transformer preferably comprises an applied voltage test. In addition, the testing of the machine part further comprises any of a no-load loss test and preferably a load loss test, as well as an impulse voltage test. Preferably, such tests are performed on the whole transformer. The advantages with the present invention are several. A major aspect of the present invention is to reduce the down-time associated with repairing of large and heavy machine parts such as transformers. In this respect the down-time is reduced considerably because the factoryWO 2007/120111 4 PCTISE2007/050241 10 15 20 25 30 or work shop is “moved to” the transformer. Due to the use of on site covering of the transformer and surrounding areas the whole repair, including drying and testing of the transformer, can be performed without having to move it to a repair location. The down-time is thus reduced in that the transformer does not have to be moved and further, the costly transportation is eliminated. The on-site repair process described here also allows to repair transformers in location where no more transportation means for heavy loads are available. It also allows avoiding possible risks linked to the transportation of the transformer to a repair workshop. Further, keeping the transformer dry allows to reduce drying time and therefore the total down-time. The present invention also proposes solutions for keeping critical parts clean at the work site, reducing the risk of contaminations and moisture ruining the repair work. Further the present invention also presents solutions regarding the critical drying of the transformer, which prolongs its life and reduces the risk of premature failure or break-down as well as presenting a solution of testing the repaired and assembled transformer before using it after repair and drying. In all a very economical and efficient method is obtained at the same time as all measures are met regarding repair condition that conventionally only could be ascertained in factory environments. In all the present invention involves a system including combining a number of method steps performed on the site which together result in large reductions in cost and resources compared to conventional systems and methods. In particular, by combining the different modular steps according to the present invention a great reduction of time compared to conventional methods is obtained. Because all steps are performed at the site the time for repair, refurbishment, upgrade and testing is considerably reduced at the same time as the quality of the work is maintained at the same high level as with conventional methods.WO 2007/120111 5 PCTISE2007/050241 10 15 20 25 30 These and other aspects of and advantages with the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description of the invention and from the accompanying drawings. SHORT DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS In the detailed description reference will be made to the accompanying drawings, of which Fig.1 _ is a schematic flow-chart comprising the steps of the present invention, Fig. 2 _is a cross-sectional view of a covered work site, where a machine part, a transformer is to be repaired, Fig.3 shows a schematic view of a method of drying a transformer, Fig.4 shows a diagram of a drying process utilizing low frequency heating with oil spraying under vacuum, Fig.5 shows a principle block diagram for an induced voltage test, Fig.6 shows a principle block diagram for an applied voltage test, DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a system including a number of method steps for performing repair of large machine parts such as power transformers, motors or generators on site without having to move the transformer to a factory or work shop. The present invention comprises the following modular steps to be performed, which together substantially reduces the down time of the machine part compared to conventional methods. The method is described in conjunction with aWO 2007/120111 6 PCTISE2007/050241 10 15 20 25 30 power transformer, but it is to be understood that also other large machine parts such as motors or generators can be repaired using the present invention. Analysis of breakdown, decision of repair method and order of repair parts In case of a breakdown of a transformer or a decision to upgrade a transformer in a power network, the company responsible for the operation of the network, the owner of the equipment or a service company assigned to handle the operation of the network contacts experts on the type of transformer that has broken down or has been decided to be upgraded. The experts, together with repair personnel on the site, perform failure analysis and provide support for decision about repair/upgrade method. The analysis allows reducing the total down- time since experts can take informed decisions earlier. For example they can anticipate ordering of needed material which is often a bottle-neck during the repair process. When the decision about repair/upgrade method is taken a global network of available workshops is utilised for manufacturing, ordering and supplying of failed components of the transformer. The components are shipped to the location of the failed transformer. Establish temporary repair facilities at site One vital step in the system according to the present invention is to establish a temporary repair facility. A site repair of a power transformer has to be performed indoors in a facility that makes it possible to maintain a controlled environment and the cleanliness and orderliness required. The facility should as far as possible allow for performance of all critical steps of the repair inside the facility including the heavy lifting of active part and windings.WO 2007/120111 7 PCTISE2007/050241 10 15 20 25 30 One solution is to use a rigid type of tent having a sturdy and rigid frame covered with heavy duty cover. The tent should be openable in many directions in order to be able to enter with spare parts, trucks, lifting equipment and the like. The size of the tent should be of a size capable able of handling the repair, temporary storage of material and components. The dimensions should also be large enough for the space required for the internal transportation and the lifting of the active part and the windings, in the case of shell type transformer the tank and the phases. The tent should be designed to handle the local weather conditions and to fulfil the local building codes. To keep all the critical parts clean and dry during the repair process the core, windings, insulation parts etc. should be wrapped with plastic film or be placed in a closed container and supplied with over pressure of dry air. Dry air should be supplied to encapsulated components also during and after assembly of the active part until the active part has been placed in the tank and the cover has been put on and dry air may be supplied into the tank. It is possible to have an enclosure consisting of steel tubing which is easily raised, and then cover the structure with walls and a c ‘ling of a moisture impermeable material in order to protect the active part against contamination and moisture. The whole space may preferably be kept at an overpressure with dry air. The ceiling may be opened for short durations to transport material into the tent. It is necessary that the repair facility is equipped with a foundation that is designed to handle the weight of the transformer and built according to the local regulations. For example a spare transformer foundation can be used, that may be available to build the facility on. The spare transformer foundation may have a system to handle the oil. However, it is recommended that the transformer be drained of oil before it isWO 2007/120111 8 PCTISE2007/050241 10 15 20 25 30 moved to the repair facility. An advantage of using a spare foundation is that means for hauling of the transformer may already be available. Lifting of components One critical step in the system of the present invention is to lift some components of the transformer. The most heavy lifting at a repair of a core type transformer is the lifting of the active part for untanking and tanking of the transformer. At a factory this is made by using the overhead crane. The active part may for the largest transformers have a weight of up to 400 metric tons. For lifting on site, different types of equipment can be used, depending on weight and size of the components to be lifted. For smaller transformers the lifting may be performed with a mobile crane. For larger and heavier transformers a lifting device using four hydraulic vertical boom style gantries using steel booms similar to hydraulic cranes may be utilized. Each pair of booms has a crossbeam between the booms. The booms can be operated simultaneously to lift or lower a component. ‘The present method comprises a number of steps for repairing a transformer or the like on site. Fig. 1 shows a schematic flow chart of the different steps. Repair When a transformer has broken down, the first step is to identify and understand the defect(s) by using advanced diagnostics and simulation tools in order to reduce time of investigation after untanking and to anticipate the decision. A suitable repair method is decided together with expertise as mentioned above, and replacement parts are ordered and shipped to the repair site. Then the temporary repair facility is to be erected at the site covering the transformer. As mentioned above, a flexible and economical solution is to use rigid tent constructionsWO 2007/120111 9 PCTISE2007/050241 10 15 20 25 30 covering the necessary ground area to house the transformer, additional replacement and disassembled parts as well as lifting equipment. It should also have the necessary height in order for the lifting equipment to be able to be accommodated as well as to be able to lift components to the necessary heights. For some very large transformers it might be necessary to have the roof of the tent openable and to perform the lifting during good weather conditions. As suggested the ground area may also include an inner tent or enclosure provided with equipment that can create an over-pressure in the enclosure for storing critical parts during the repair process. The next step is to ship lifting equipment, mobile cranes or hydraulic vertical boom cranes as well as a foundation for the transformer to the site, When the necessary equipment is at the repair site the actual repair work can begin. Before the active part of the transformer is lifted the transformer is preferably drained from oil. The active part is then lifted with the aid of the lifting equipment, Fig. 2. When using a mobile crane the active part can be put on the foundation placed at a suitable spot on the ground area. When using hydraulic vertical boom cranes the tank is preferably moved away and the active part can be set on the floor without lateral movement of the hydraulic vertical boom. The active part is then disassembled and the critical parts are stored in the over-pressure enclosure and in addition using plastic or the like moisture impermeable material to cover critical parts or certain surfaces thereof. In a conventional manner the core is tested and repaired if necessary, after which the active part then is assembled. ‘The active part is then lifted back into the tank with the aid of the required lifting equipment. Drying of the transformerWO 2007/120111 10 PCTISE2007/050241 10 15 20 25 30 One important step according to the present invention is to dry the repaired and assembled transformer. Fig. 3 shows a schematic view of a method of drying a transformer. Moisture in power transformers speeds up paper degradation as well as presenting an operational risk when free water or vapour bubbles are created. Onsite drying is a main process during an onsite repair or midlife refurbishment. There are several onsite-drying methods known in the market. The main criteria for any of the drying processes are the achievable temperature and the vacuum, as they determine the process time as well as the dryness value after the process. According to the present invention a Low Frequency Heating (LFH) method has been utilized. The purpose is to reach a high quality of drying, i.e. low remaining moisture, within a short time (in the region of 50 to 70 % shorter time than a conventional hot oil circulation drying method). In combination with the LFH method either hot oil circulation or hot oil spray is used. The two different combinations will be described in separate parts below. The drying is characterized by moisture-moving forces helping the diffusion of the moisture through a porous material. The diffusion is strongly dependent on temperature, moisture content, and pressure difference over the diffusion path and material properties. Temperature and vacuum are the main factors for the drying speed and quality. For an optimised drying, the transformer should be heated at the same time as vacuum is applied. During onsite preparation the electrical circuitry for LFH operation, the vacuum circuit, the hot oil circuit, the regulation valve for LFH operation and the temperature sensors to control the temperatures in the windings or other parts are assembled, Fig. 3.WO 2007/120111 11 PCTISE2007/050241 10 15 20 25 30 Optionally a temperature sensor is placed in oil circuit with hot oil spray, alternatively the oil distributor and the nozzles for oil spray are optionally assembled. ‘The connection on the transformer should be done in order to assure a LF heating current circulation in all windings. Optionally the transformer is covered with heat insulation mats or tarpaulin Combined LFH- and hot oil spray / vacuum drying process technology This process starts with the drainage of the oil so that only a small amount is left in the transformer. This oil is then circulated over the oil treatment plant, where it is heated and then sprayed over the transformer. Vacuum is applied from the beginning and the oil spray continues until the intermediate temperature step is finished. Only then, all the oil is drained from the transformer. A phases: heating-up of the oil filled transformers by means of LF heating cording to Fig. 4 the process is carried out in the following main and parallel with hot oil spray; temperature stabilization: pulsation of LF current intermittent with full vacuum; vacuum and LF heating: increasing temperature to next level + oil drainage of the spray oil; vacuum + temperature stabilization: heating with LFH only to final drying temperature* final vacuum phase; and oil filling after drying and simultaneous oil treatment, the transformer is again filled with processed oil. Temperatures The drying temperature besides the vacuum is the most important parameter concerning the drying result and time. The temperature also influences the depolymerisation of the insulation material, therefore an optimal temperature control is essential.WO 2007/120111 12 PCTISE2007/050241 10 15 20 25 30 The drying process using LFH drying is controlled in three different temperature steps, see Figs. 4 and 5. Step 1 : at low temperature) in order to extract as much water as possible in an early stage to limit the ageing effect. Step 2 : at intermediate level. Normally this temperature is chosen according to the max. oil temperature, Step 3 : step at the final drying temperature. At this step, all the oil is drained from the transformer and only LFH is active. Drying time The time of the different temperature steps is depending on the moisture extraction rate and the moisture level in the insulation paper. The drying time is to be understood as the time needed for the drying of the insulation when temperature is reached and vacuum applied. Heating time without vacuum comes in addition (different for the different drying techniques). The drying time required in order to achieve a predetermined moisture level of critical components might be monitored by means of continuous measurement of the moisture content in said components, directly or indirectly. Preferably, for that purpose, there are provided one or more reference bodies or blocks of a material and an initial moisture level corresponding to those of said component or components, said bodies or blocks being placed in the same environment as said components. The moisture content of said components of the transformer is measured indirectly by means of a continuous measurement of the moisture level in said bodies or blocks during the drying of said components. Preferably, the measurement is performed by means ofWO 2007/120111 13 PCTISE2007/050241 10 15 20 25 30 dielectric spectroscopy. The drying characteristics of said bodies or blocks should correspond to, or have a known relation to, the drying characteristics of said components in order to enable the moisture level thereof to be translated into a correct, corresponding moisture level of said components. Testing An essential step after drying of the transformer is to perform a number of tests to verify that the transformer will operate correctly when taken into operation. The following high voltage tests shall be performed to verify the quality of an On-Site repair: - induced voltage tests, including measurement of partial discharges - applied voltage tests, preferably with measurement of partial discharges (PD measurement). Optionally the following tests/measurement may be performed: - no-load loss measurement - load loss measurement As a further alternative, impulse voltage testing might be performed on site, even though, at the time being, such tests are rather difficult and expensive from a technical-economical point of view. The high voltage tests are performed using a specially designed Mobile High Voltage Test Field based on a variable frequency power electronic converter. The rating and control features of the test field are chosen for testing of the whole range of transformers from distribution transformers to large power transformers. As an interface to the test object there is an adaptation transformer with variable taps to best fit the voltage level of the transformer to be tested.WO 2007/120111 14 PCTISE2007/050241 10 15 20 25 30 For easy transportation including loading and unloading, the test field is assembled in a 40 foot container. When delivered to the test site the container is easily and quickly converted to a fully fledged and flexible test field containing control room and all test, measurement, recording and connection equipment required. The Mobile High Voltage Test Field used for Induced voltage test The arrangement of the test circuit for Induced voltage test of a transformer is shown in Fig 5. The test voltage is normally fed to the test object through the tertiary winding or through the low voltage windings. Through induction in the test object the relevant test voltage is generated. The test system will automatically adjust the test frequency for minimum load on the test field. Typically this occurs at a frequency between 100 and 200 Hz. The Induced voltage test including measurement of Partial discharge is. performed according to the IEC standard 60076-3. The Mobile High Voltage Test Field used for Applied voltage test Fig. 6 shows a principle block diagram of test circuit for Applied voltage test. Opposite to the Induced voltage test the test object may not be used for induction to generate the high voltage level required. Therefore the test voltage for Applied voltage test is generated by means of a resonance circuit. The resonance will occur between the resonance reactor and the capacitance of the transformer together with any added capacitance to achieve desired frequency. ‘The Applied voltage test is performed according to the IEC standard 60076-3 Mobile High Voltage Test Field used for measurement of no load and on load losses.WO 2007/120111 15 PCTISE2007/050241 10 15 20 For the measurement of losses the test circuit is arranged in the same way as for the Induced voltage test with the addition of capacitor banks for reactive compensation and high precision measurement and recording equipment. The additional reactive compensation is required as this in opposite to the Induced voltage test has to be performed at the fundamental frequency, 50 or 60 Hz. Impulse voltage system As an option, the repaired transformer could also be tested using a transportable module impulse generator built with several stages. When the tests have been performed and the results are satisfactory, all equipment used for the repair is removed from the site as well as the temporary repair facility. The transformer is now ready to be put into operation again. It is to be understood that the embodiments described above and shown in the drawings are only to be regarded as non-limiting examples of the invention and that it may be modified within the scope of the patent claims.WO 2007/120111 16 PCTISE2007/050241 PATENT CLAIMS 1.
