This paper presents the overview of methods for prediction of remaining service life of power transformers and the analysis of possibility to apply these methods to transformers in power system in Latvia. Particular attention is paid to the methodology for the analysis of transformer components since due to statistical data of faults this issue is topical for transformers in Latvia. Calculations, performed for 4 power transformers, are presented as a case study.

Keywords
