The compactness of a gas insulated switchgear, or GIS, provides a lot of advantages but it also challenges the insulation between the high voltage parts and its surrounding. Thus, high voltage tests are carried out on GIS prior to switching them onto the grid. For testing at mains frequency, large and heavy test transformers are needed. A more lightweight and smaller alternative is a test system which uses resonance frequency.

Watch how the High Voltage Resonance Test System from OMICRON, with the CPC 100 and the CP RC2, is used to prove the dielectric integrity of a GIS with a rated voltage of 123 kV during a high potential test (HIPOT test).

In this episode, OMICRON data transformation experts David Gopp and Lukas Klingenschmid talk about the importance of measurement data validation and how it is used to check different factors that can influence the consistency and quality of measurement data. They also emphasize the necessity to validate measurement data before it is processed, distributed and used for asset condition assessments and maintenance planning.

Lastly, David and Lukas describe how artificial intelligence based on the use of smart algorithms can be successfully applied to validate the integrity of measurement data.

In this episode, guest experts Renny Vandewege, Vice President of Weather Operations at DTN, and Denton McGregor, Senior Reliability Center Manager at Black Hills Energy, discuss how fire-weather forecasting supported with advanced data intelligence is helping electrical utilities effectively plan their response before wildfires start and spread. They also offer practical tips for implementing fire-weather forecasting tools to take the guesswork out of wildfire prediction and resource allocation.

Also of interest: Earlier in our Episode Number 30 about fire mitigation at electrical utilities, our guest experts describe how the use of line control devices, such as reclosures, and the regular reliability testing thereof, enable technicians to respond quickly to downed power lines and avoid sparks in dry, windy conditions.
