Manchester, United Kingdom The University of Manchester Full time

**As part of the project team, you will be expected to**:

- Utilise the post-mortem data and loading information from scrapped transformers to update the existing reaction kinetic based approach and model the ageing of transformer insulation.
- Develop and utilise a physics-based model to simulate the generation, transportation and accumulation of chemical markers within the transformer insulation system.
- Validate the model utilizing the experimental results provided by other work packages of the project.
- Identify key influencing parameters which affect the measured marker quantities and its use in condition assessments based on periodical oil tests.

**What you will get in return**:

- Fantastic market leading Pension scheme
- Excellent employee health and wellbeing services including an Employee Assistance Programme

    It is a common practice to use chemical markers to predict the ageing state of transformer insulation. However, the ageing of the paper insulation is a complex phenomenon which depends on various factors such as transformer design, loading and other ageing by-products in the insulation system. Furthermore, the chemical markers generated from paper insulation...
