Contribution to the use of palm kernel oil methyl esters as liquid bio-insulators in distribution transformers: Experimentation and simulation of heat transfer

This work examines the potential use of palm kernel oil methyl esters (PKOME) as liquid bio-insulators in distribution transformers. A mathematical model of heat transfer inside a transformer is developed and solved using COMSOL Multiphysics software. The results of the model are validated by experi...
