Molecular simulation technology is a new technology emerging with the rapid development of computer technology. It has the advantages of clear microscopic models, in-depth and precise calculation etc., it has been widely used in the oil–paper insulation system of transformer in recent years. Based on the application of molecular simulation technology in the oil–paper insulation system of transformers in this study, the current research status and progress of molecular simulation in these area are elaborated in detail from the aspects of transformer insulating oil and insulating paper according to the domestic and foreign literature, and the application of molecular simulation technology in plant insulating oil and nano-modified insulating oil is emphatically analysed. The complementing research method of molecular simulation and experiment is pointed out, which provides certain reference for solving many problems existing in the field of oil–paper insulation system of transformers.
