description The large differences in the load peak and valley of rural distribution networks always bring severe problems to system planners and operators. Given this issue, this paper deals with the hot-spot temperature (HST) of the transformer and its overload capability, and proposes a modeling method-based online monitoring of practical parameters. In the current work, a temperature-fluid coupling field of the 315 kVA vegetable oil distribution transformer is developed in both the two-dimensional and three-dimensional geometry, by which the convection and heat dissipation process can be studied. The grid of the model is divided into regions to increase the calculation speed and ensure the accuracy of the calculation. Secondly, tests related to the temperature rise of the transformer are carried out. The accuracy of the three-dimensional model is later discussed in terms of temperature and fluid velocity distribution. Finally, the temperature distribution laws of the amorphous alloy vegetable oil distribution transformers (AVDT) are compared and analyzed under different load conditions. Findings reveal that the AVDT has low no-load loss and strong overload capacity, which is capable of reducing the internal overheating accidents of the transformer.
