The research groups at department of Mechanical Engineering and Materials (Thermal and Fluids, Machines and Vehicles, Robotics and Control, design Industrial or Mechanics of Materials and Advanced Manufacturing) work on a project basis. These are some of the most outstanding ones:
project MODITRANS - Modeling and Diagnosis of Transformers
Funding:
CPP2021-008580
project financed by MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033
and by the European Union-NextGenerationEU/PRTR.
group Thermal and Fluids
Participants in the project Ormazabal Cotradis Transformadores (coordinator of the proposal), Centro de programs of study e Investigaciones Técnicas, Mondragon Goi Eskola Politeknikoa and the School of Engineering of the University of Navarra.
Objectives:
New distribution transformer designs for public/private distribution and photovoltaic applications.
New sensors that enable on-line determination of the dielectric oil quality.
New system designs to minimize the transformer connection current, avoiding voltage dips during connection in weak networks that could cause the protections to trip.
development of a methodology for the determination of the health index of transformers.
