GE Hydran S2 Gas Sensor Module

Continuous Monitoring: It can continuously monitor gas and moisture content, timely detect gas changes during equipment operation, provide users with real-time status information, facilitate timely detection of potential faults, and reduce the risk of unplanned downtime.

Convenient Maintenance: Based on GE's professional technology, the equipment has a high degree of optimization and low maintenance requirements, which can extend the service life of the sensor and reduce operation and maintenance costs.

Strong Compatibility: It can integrate monitoring with other transformer parameters (such as top oil temperature, load current, etc.), and also supports multiple communication methods and protocols. It can be used with asset management software tools such as Predix, facilitating users to comprehensively grasp the transformer status.

Wide Application Range: It can be applied to various types of transformer oils, including standard mineral insulating oils and new natural and synthetic ester-based fluids, with strong applicability.

Power Transformer Fault Monitoring: In a large substation, the Hydran S2 module was installed to monitor the main transformer. By real-time detecting the concentration of fault gases such as hydrogen and carbon monoxide dissolved in transformer oil, it successfully predicted a potential fault caused by internal partial discharge. The module detected a continuous and slow rise in hydrogen concentration, and the operation and maintenance personnel conducted timely maintenance according to the alarm information, avoiding the expansion of the fault and ensuring the reliable power supply of the substation.

Industrial Transformer Status Evaluation: In a steel plant, multiple large industrial transformers supply power to production equipment. The plant deployed the Hydran S2 module on the transformers to realize online monitoring of the transformer's operating status. The module regularly transmits the detection data to the plant's intelligent operation and maintenance system. Through data analysis, the operation and maintenance personnel can accurately grasp the health status of each transformer, reasonably arrange maintenance plans, reduce production downtime caused by transformer faults, and improve production efficiency.

Intelligent Operation and Maintenance of Power Grid Equipment: A regional power grid company, in order to improve the intelligent operation and maintenance level of power grid equipment, installed Hydran S2 modules on key transformers in multiple substations and connected them to the power grid intelligent monitoring platform. The platform comprehensively analyzes the transformer gas monitoring data from multiple stations, and uses big data and artificial intelligence algorithms to achieve accurate prediction and diagnosis of transformer faults. For example, by comparing the gas change trends of different transformers, it timely detected early fault signs of a transformer caused by poor iron core grounding, providing strong guarantee for the safe and stable operation of the power grid.
