As the total cost of ownership (TCO) of power transformer fleets continues to rise, electrical utilities are increasingly seeking new approaches to optimize life cycle decisions. Determining the optimal strategy for the right unit at the right time is a complex challenge. This article introduces a structured framework for transformer life cycle management (LCM), including a novel four-quadrant model to support prioritization of maintenance, refurbishment, and replacement decisions.
