  • System and method for assessing power transformers
    Patent number: 10488384
    Abstract: A system and method for evaluating power transformers is disclosed. The method includes the steps of acquiring data representing one or more parameters of a power transformer, using rules to derive one or more broad physical conditions of the power transformer from the acquired data, and using the broad physical conditions as inputs to compute a plurality of indices. Each index represents a category of failure mechanisms of the power transformer. The method further includes the steps of using the plurality of indices to determine a corrective action and performing the corrective action on the power transformer.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 6, 2014
    Date of Patent: November 26, 2019
    Assignee: ELECTRIC POWER RESEARCH INSTITUTE, INC.
    Inventors: Bhavin N. Desai, Timothy Raymond
  • Cleaner for grease rejuvenation and method of maintaining bearings, bushings, linkage pins, and chains
    Patent number: 9822328
    Abstract: A cleaner and method for maintaining bearings, bushings, linkage pins and chains used in various types of machinery, including industrial machinery is disclosed. The cleaner is effective to rejuvenate spent grease and includes a polar fraction, a miscible non-polar fraction, and a non-ionic surface activating agent.
