Read MoreThe operating conditions common to the Oil and Gas sector can readily be referred to as arduous. Asset owners regularly face challenges from these extreme environments, such as ensuring equipment is maintained and in optimal working condition.
Read MoreIn environments where harsh conditions abound, maintenance of corroded equipment is a costly concern. Often the weakest points in a system – the joints – are most at risk due to corrosion of the metal fasteners used.
Read MoreInsulect recently sponsored and exhibited at GasTech 2015 in Singapore, a unique event focused on the international gas and LNG sectors. The exhibit was a representation of Rochling and Insulect, a partnership spanning almost 20 years.
Read MoreThe Electric Energy Society of Australia (EESA) NSW Annual Conference & Trade Exhibition was held yesterday, Wednesday 25th November at the Australian Technology Park in Sydney. This year the program theme addressed “Network efficiencies and opportunities in an increasingly complex energy landscape”.
Read MoreAdvances in equipment and implementation of monitoring technology is bringing us closer to ideal transformer Condition Based Maintenance (CBM). GE Digital Energy’s leading Monitoring and Diagnostics subject matter experts have prepared a two-part white paper series.
Read MoreDownload David Cole's White Paper on Multi-function Fault Recorders for Condition Based Monitoring for more information on how DFR, slow scan, power quality and fault location data can be analysed to identify problems on the power system.
Read MoreA protection scheme to prevent explosions of current transformers (CT) has been developed by the Israel Electric Corporation (IEC). Although the number of explosions can be relatively small, the effects can be immense.
Read MoreA Business Case can be a powerful tool in obtaining the funds you need to drive change in achieving optimally performing systems. We explore 9 common components of a well written proposal.
Read MoreWe revisit the first edition in the Qualitrol series of on-demand webinars from our partner Qualitrol, detailing the importance of transformer monitoring, the cost savings involved and on-line monitoring systems available.
Read MoreTransformer monitoring can assist in extending the life and performance of a transformer. Our CORE Transformer Optimisation approach - a fleet-wide "whole of life" methodology offers a broader evaluation of the transformer environment, addressing the interrelated planning, operational and risk factors that impact transformer performance and life. In doing so, it paves the way for better decision making, greater asset security and lower total cost of ownership.
Read MoreEach year Insulect hears more from the industry about Power Quality and the growing need to be doing more PQ Monitoring - whether from a regulatory, commercial or operational point of view. These concerns are being voiced by organisations at every part of the grid - from Generation through to Distribution and large End Users...
Read MoreInsulect's latest industry paper on Transformer Optimisation is now available. Transformers are one of the most critical assets within an electricity network. Effective management of these assets – from initial specification, to online monitoring, maintenance and eventual replacement – is an increasingly complex task with costly implications. To optimise the management of transformers first requires a transformation in the approach to these assets.
