Abstract: In the context of new-type power system construction, digital twin has become the core technology for power transformers, supporting their full-life cycle intelligent operation and maintenance. The real-time, high-precision calculation of the internal temperature field serves as the core supporting element for realizing the real-time mapping between the physical transformer entity and its virtual twin. Aiming at the inherent defects of traditional temperature rise calculation methods, such as insufficient accuracy and an excessively long computation time, this paper proposes a simplified calculation model for the transformer temperature field. In this model, the transformer oil tank is simplified into a two-dimensional axisymmetric thermal–fluid coupled field model solved by the finite volume method (FVM). The Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) technique is adopted to perform order reduction on the matrices involved in the governing equations, so as to reduce the computational degrees of freedom. Meanwhile, the radiator is equivalent to a one-dimensional thermal circuit model, and the field–circuit coupled solution is achieved through bidirectional data mapping. Temperature field calculation is carried out for a 220 kV oil-immersed transformer based on the proposed model. The results show that the average relative error between the calculated results and the experimental data is around 0.86%, while the computation time is merely 0.04% of that of the traditional three-dimensional full-scale model. Furthermore, taking the real-time overload capacity evaluation of the transformer as a case, it is verified that the proposed model can successfully support the requirements of practical engineering applications.
