Electrical insulation is an integral part of power components. The aging of electrical
insulation is an undeniable fact that limits the operational lifetime of power components …

The paper proposes a procedure for life estimation of high voltage AC cables in real
operating conditions, ie subjected to voltage and load cycles, so that electrothermal stress is …

Many studies have investigated the influence of harmonics on insulation life. A limited
number of these studies address electrical tree growth characteristics while even fewer …

Interpretation of oil test data for transformer insulation condition is essential towards
justifying asset management practices. Traditionally, an empirical formula (EF) is used by …

Cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) may be operated under repetitive pulse voltage and low
temperature environment. In recent years, many influencing factors to the treeing process …

Asset management and optimization is becoming increasingly adaptable for distribution
utilities with the help of developments in the digital and wireless technology. Medium voltage …

Already installed cables are aging and the cable network is growing rapidly. Improved
condition monitoring methods are required for greater visibility of insulation defects in the …

Delivery of the Smart Grid is a topic of considerable interest within the power industry in
general, and the IEEE specifically. This paper presents the smart grid landscape as seen by …

This paper aims at providing reliability evaluation tools for the insulation of power system
components subjected to low-order harmonic voltages that match the voltage distortion limits …

Local government infrastructure assets in Australia represent a vast investment built up over
many generations. The $15 billion value of community buildings ranks them as the second …
