WEBINAR DESCRIPTION:
When it comes to big-ticket items, power transformers are at the top of the list. When they fail prematurely, it can be all the more painful, with damages often far exceeding the cost of replacement. Online monitoring of transformers is critical to any successful asset management strategy, providing early fault detection and diagnoses that allow asset managers to make strategic decisions on asset health.
We are delighted to announce a joint webinar session featuring the in-house experts from SDMyers and Camlin Energy. The 1-hour session, chaired by Electric Power Reliability Alliance (EPRA) founder Alan Ross, will focus on best practices for integrating transformer monitoring into your asset management strategy and will cover the following topics.
Choosing a monitoring solution
- What should I monitor and why?
- Critical assets versus non-critical assets
- 1-, 5-, or 9-gas monitors—which to select and why?
Developing a business case for monitoring
- How do I justify investment?
- Risk management profiles
- Sustainability of monitoring
