The transformer is the most important equipment in the transmission and distribution system.
This expert system is the principle of condition based maintenance strategy. The system consider discrete diagnostical results.
For the comparison we need to consider some other parameters what do not indicate the status of the insulation but it has influence for that.
In the research work, the expert system tested by real data from the Hungarian distribution system. The source of the testing data is 13 HV/MV distribution transformers in Hungary
This presentation will explain the importance of used oil analysis. If you want to cut the cost, don't try to use cheap product but try to extend premium lubricant by monitoring with lubricant analysis.
This webinar describes some of the challenges faced when monitoring a large fleet of wind turbines. Factors such as different turbine and gearbox types, different condition monitoring systems (CMS), geographically dispersed sites and variations in maintenance practice all make the job of a monitoring engineer a difficult task. Romax utilize in-house software called InSight Fleet Monitor to provide condition monitoring services for over 2 GW of assets globally. Using a single software platform enables the CMS engineers to effectively monitor a huge number of wind turbines efficiently.
This webinar uses some recent examples and case studies to demonstrate fleet-wide condition monitoring in practice. Examples focus on main bearing and gearbox fault detection and, most importantly for the operator, methods for predicting the remaining useful life or ‘time to repair’ for key components.
View this webinar to learn:
-How condition monitoring can be effectively rolled out for large, disparate fleets of wind turbines.
-Valuable insights from recent examples in the field, particularly relating to gearbox and main bearing faults.
-Predicting ‘time to repair’ for major components.
Grease Analysis Blitz for Saudi Arabia; Sampling and AnalysisRich Wurzbach

Lubricating Machinery during Supply Chain ChaosRich Wurzbach
We live in a time where established approaches and schedules for lubrication are being disrupted. Supply chain issues are hitting at the heart of machinery lubrication. When its "time" to re-grease or change oil, and the lubricant we need is not available, what can we do?
Rich Wurzbach will talk about strategies that utilize oil and grease analysis and lubricant compatibility studies that are becoming necessary to navigate these challenging times, and maintain critical machinery availability without compromising performance and machine life.
Take a walk through MRG Labs and learn how test stand and advanced laboratory instrument testing is utilized to define grease compatibility. If you are not using oil or grease analysis fully today, it means that you have not been optimizing lubrication requirements for your equipment. And when you think you need a lubricant that is not available, you may find that you don't really need it after all. This live presentation will allow Q&A where you can share your current challenge, and discuss ways to overcome the broken lubricant supply chain.

Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.

TIPS
9. Retrofit and Periodic route-
based condition monitoring
• Handheld and sampling-based analysis
can be performed at low cost-impact
during uptower maintenance activities
• Route-based analysis limited by turbine
access frequencies
• Supplemental vibration analysis, acoustic
emission, oil analysis, grease analysis,
infrared thermography, ultrasonic
monitoring.
12. Infrared Thermography
• Advantages
– Infrared cameras are lower cost, lightweight
and can be carried uptower on maintenance
inspections
– Electrical system problems can be detected
early, limiting downtime and fire-risk
• Disadvantages
– Skill required to interpret images
– Some targets might not be easily viewable
14. Ultrasonic Monitoring
• Advantages
– Can evaluate lubrication effectiveness,
turbulent flow conditions (hydraulics),
electrical arcing of breakers, connections,
brushes
– Lightweight and portable equipment
– Detect multiple issues
– Sounds are intuitive, short learning curve
• Disadvantages
– Typically requires further analysis to pinpoint
problem
15. Grease sampling
• Oil analysis is well-established and in
widespread use
• Relative ease in obtaining oil samples
(existing or installed valves or fittings)
based on oil’s ability to flow
• Grease as a non-Newtonian fluid presents
sampling challenges
• Tools effective in sampling oil typically not
effective for greases
17. Danish Wind Producers Main
Bearing Grease Sampling Project
• Key players DONG Energy and Vattenfall
major offshore wind operators in Europe
• Team assemble to evaluate sampling
methods and value of grease analysis
• 1-dimensional and 3-dimensional sampling
performed on inservice and failed bearings
• Project expanded to Horns Rev 1 project,
other wind farms across Europe
18. Main Bearing Sampling
• For bearings with
drain plug/access
port, sample can
be positioned at
face of bearing
• 1 gram sample is
obtained from this
live zone
19. No drain, other samples
• When direct access
to grease is provided
or required, spatula
tool and syringe are
used to compile
sample
• Target grease is
from the active zone
in the bearing or
gears

20. Acoustic Emission
• Tested at the USDA-ARS site in Bushland,
TX
• Testing both for drivetrain components
and structural elements such as blades
• Some bearing failure modes do not
produce traditional vibration signatures
until very late in failure
• AE can be early detection system, can be
partnered with grease analysis for fretting
wear evaluation in main bearings.
