Explore the newest technologies, expert condition monotoring practices, and innovative ideas shaping the future of AI.
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) remain one of the most persistent toxic legacies in global electrical infrastructure. Despite a production ban effective in most countries since the late 1970s, an estimated 10 million tonnes of PCB-containing materials remain in the environment, with…
The transformer health index (THI) represents a paradigm shift in how the power industry approaches asset management for critical grid infrastructure. At its core, CIGRE A2.44 defines the transformer health index as “an overall indicator describing the condition status of…
As society progresses and our energy grids grow increasingly complex, maintaining the reliability of power systems is paramount. Power transformers, the backbone of substations, play a crucial role in ensuring a consistent energy supply. However, traditional methods for monitoring transformer…
In modern electrical Asset Management, decisions regarding the maintenance, refurbishment, and replacement of power transformers can no longer rely on arbitrary age-based estimates. The CIGRE Technical Brochure 761 (TB 761), published in 2019 under the title “Condition Assessment of Power…
Globally, transformer experts agree that a health index cannot indicate how rapidly the transformer condition may worsen and the type of action needed. Rather it indicates how “unhealthy” an asset is. This begs for two questions, (i) what is the…
In an era where the energy transition demands agile and innovative solutions, various pioneering efforts underscore the transformative power of AI in reshaping the energy industry. With a strong emphasis on continuous innovation and sustainable practices, AI-based asset management solutions…
Artificial intelligence (AI) is advancing rapidly, transforming industries from healthcare to transportation. However, the explosive growth of AI has also led to a proliferation of technical jargon that can confuse non-experts. To establish common AI terminology and concepts, the International…
The Progress of AI Driven by Deep Learning Artificial intelligence (AI) has immense potential to transform our world for the better. Recent advances in deep learning have led to remarkable progress in AI capabilities, from personalized digital assistants to self-driving…
