An Intensive 5-day Training Course
Assets Condition Assessment on Electrical Equipment
Electrical Equipment Reliability and Operating Conditions
INTRODUCTION
This EuroMaTech Assets Condition Assessment on Electrical Equipment training course is highly participative training course will explore important aspects of power system equipment assessment methodology.
Transmission and Distribution Electric Utilities have a vast amount of assets distributed over their system in the form of various equipment. As part of an asset management program, electric utilities keep focusing on the inspection and maintenance activities of these assets to improve system performance, reliability, and to ensure cost-effective expenditures. Therefore, methodology that will reflect these inspection and maintenance efforts in terms of overall condition of the equipment is needed. Also, techniques are needed to assess the impact of inspection and maintenance activities on the overall reliability of systems performance.
To achieve this, a methodology for the assessment of equipment condition and the estimation of the health index for transformers, circuit breakers and other electrical equipment were developed. After that, a technique to estimate the failure rate from the equipment health index was used. Then an IEEE test case was selected to demonstrate its impact on system reliability indices with the help of a predictive reliability assessment software tool.
As part of the equipment condition assessment method for transformer, circuit breaker and other electrical equipment failure modes and maintenance practices for this equipment were reviewed. Based on this review, parameters were selected for condition assessment which will provide significant information about the equipment’s condition and will also justify the cost and efforts. For each of the parameters, a score and weight were defined, and guidelines were developed to assign them. Also, ways in which online monitoring systems can contribute to equipment condition assessment were presented briefly.
This EuroMaTech training course is targeted at technical personnel working in the Medium to Large Power Generation, Power Transmission and Distribution Systems, particularly in the Utilities, Oil & Gas, Mining and Minerals Processing and Heavy Industries.
