3rd International Colloquium Transformer Research and Asset Management Split/Croatia, October 15. - 17. 2014.
Ladies and gentlemen,
On behalf of the Organizing Committee supported by CIGRÉ National Committee of Croatia with CIGRÉ Study Committee A2 - Transformers, the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing in Zagreb and the Centre of Excellence for Transformers in Zagreb, I would like to invite you to the 3rd International Colloquium “Transformer Research and Asset Management”: in Split, Grand hotel Lav Le Meridien, 15.-17.10.2014.
The first two Colloquiums, held in Cavtat in 2009 and Dubrovnik 2012, have shown great interest of researchers and scientists. We expect again about 200 attendees from all over the world and about 50 papers with scientific insights and new results covering the most critical aspects of power and instruments transformers.
Again, the same topics were chosen to offer new answers to R&D trends and to Transformer Diagnostic and Maintenance recent challenge:
1. Numerical Modelling
2. Materials, Components and New Technologies
3. Transformer Life Management
Previous conferences provided unique opportunities for discussion that have led to a wider and much better understanding of power and instruments transformers and its components like: transformer insulating materials and oil, on load tap changer, bushings cooling system, failures, loading, diagnostic testing, on-line monitoring etc.
We anticipate that this meeting will host the most respected companies and hope that the received papers and expected meeting discussions will enhance the knowledge of the hottest transformer topics of recent times.
I invite you to join us for the scientific and competent technical discussions where the participants will have the opportunity to network and develop their own contacts as well as to present their latest work in the in the areas of distribution, power and instrument transformers.
Furthermore, the conference hosts an exhibition where transformers companies and their suppliers can present their achievements and products, so I invite them to join us as sponsors.
As a part of the “Centre of Excellence for Transformers” to be established at Zagreb University it is also a unique opportunity for pre- and post-graduate students to step up their knowledge and establish links with industrial, academic and research associates.
I am looking forward to meeting you at this colloquium which provides opportunity to discuss new scientific developments, introduce new people and meet old friends and colleagues – and all together spend exciting days in Split.
Yours faithfully,
Miroslav Poljak, PhD
Chairman of Organizing Committee

TUTORIALS
1. „Resonance and Feroresonance in Power Network“
Dr Zia Emin
Chief Power Systems Engineer
Parsons Brinckerhoff
Abstract:
The tutorial will provide an overview of the fundamental frequency resonance and ferroresonance in power networks starting with a detailed description. It will then covers various network topologies that may lead to each phenomenon. Particular attention will be given to shunt compensated transmission lines that can result in resonance. Ferroresonance in electromagnetic voltage transformers and power transformers will be treated separately and in great depth. Mitigation measures to overcome resonance and ferroresonance, guidance in modelling both phenomena and case studies will also be provided.
2. „Transformer Procurement Process“
Tom Breckenridge
Technical Director
TB TCS Ltd
Abstract:
Decisions made in the procurement process define the future reliability and expected life of a transformer. CIGRE has produced a number of guides under the umbrella of WG A2-36 -Transformer Procurement Process –to support users in terms of specification, design review and the assessment of the capability of a manufacturer. This tutorial is intended to make the recipient aware of the issues that need to be addressed during the procurement process and guide the user towards the support provided in the guides.
