Asset Management - Replacement Criteria for Distribution Transformers

Leonardo ENERGY

In today's power grids, transformers represent a significant capital investment and play a crucial role in the reliability of the grid and the availability of electric power. It is the task of the asset or plant manager to safeguard reliability and control risks at limited cost. The asset management instruments that may be used, in increasing order of effectiveness and cost, are monitoring, maintenance, refurbishment and replacement. Asset management has moved from "doing the best we can" to "doing what is necessary to maintain the balance between performance, cost and risk, given the company business values". This paradigm shift has changed the way replacement decisions are being taken. On the basis of company business values, risks are being identified and assessed, from the combination of failure probability and impact. Decisions are based on the hazard risk score (urgency) and on the risk reduction capability of the mitigating measure (effectiveness), and are dependent on the company's risk appetite. Whereas replacement alternatives are often attractive for high power transformers due to the relatively high cost of replacement, this situation is quite different for distribution transformers. Distribution transformers are often regarded as commodities. They are relatively inexpensive and can be delivered off stock. Therefore alternatives for replacement need to be low cost, and thereby effective, efficient and standardized. As a result such alternatives are at present often cost effective only on a fleet scale, and too expensive for individual transformers. This situation may change when alternative solutions such as monitoring devices will be integrated as a low cost commodity in new distribution transformers.

Beyond battery power: future autonomy

Defence and Security Accelerator

The document discusses the limitations of battery power for small autonomous robots and soldiers. While smaller robots are safer and more practical for defense applications, current battery technology only allows for an hour or two of operation, which is not enough. Batteries are also limited in their energy density and unlikely to improve much in the next 10-20 years. The document proposes potential alternative power solutions that could be explored, such as photovoltaic energy capture from flames, novel engine/generator combinations, or single-use power sources that last a day or two before recycling. It concludes that long-endurance power sources for smaller robots present an opportunity for defense applications if technical challenges can be addressed.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters

Safe Software

Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they? Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality. You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server

Antonios Katsarakis

This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

4. Protection • MOD has a requirement to protect ALL of its equipment in ALL current operations at ALL times • This is a logistical burden • Protection systems need to be: – smaller – lighter – lower consumption of power – cheaper – in general, they need to reduce the burden on MOD © Crown copyright 2013 Dstl 25 June 2014

6. Protection OFFICIAL© Crown copyright 2013 Dstl 25 June 2014 Tank Kinetic Energy Tank Chemical Energy Anti Tank Guided Missile Smart Artillery Unguided Artillery Bomblets Terminally Guided Sub Munition Mines Rocket Propelled Grenades Guns IEDs

7. Enduring challenges (1) • Improvements in protection have long been linked to improvements to protective materials • This is important but there are several other areas to consider • New methods of protection – defeat mechanisms? – disrupter technology? – overlooked areas of physics? OFFICIAL© Crown copyright 2013 Dstl 25 June 2014

8. Enduring challenges (2) • Novel techniques or uses of modelling and simulation – Can we predict performance of materials and systems more efficiently or more accurately? • Development of novel active systems – Can we use protection methods that sense and ‘switch on’ when required? – Can we detect effectiveness or vulnerability in our protection systems? © Crown copyright 2013 Dstl 25 June 2014

9. Enduring challenges (3) • Cost of ownership (TLCM, DLODs) – Can we consider the lifecycle of the armour system and reduce the overall cost? – Purchase price – Maintenance – Repair – Packaging and transportation costs – Storage © Crown copyright 2013 Dstl 25 June 2014

10. Enduring challenges (4) • Protection needs to be considered as a ‘system’ be that a vehicle, a fleet, or a complete operation • Generic Vehicle Architecture – Increased flexibility and adaptability in the field – Can we create protection systems that are interoperable fleet wide? – Can we share our protection systems with our allies? © Crown copyright 2013 Dstl 25 June 2014

11. Enduring challenges (5) • Disposal of systems – How can we ensure information about protections systems is not compromised if left on operations? – Can we deny access to this information more easily or more cleverly? – Can we make disposal methods more effective and create less of a burden? © Crown copyright 2013 Dstl 25 June 2014
