Condition monitoring of power substations is a significant issue for the National Electric Power Authority (NEPA) of Nigeria. Current methods for monitoring the condition of high voltage equipment are time consuming and often inaccurate, therefore causing catastrophic damage to the substation equipment. Recent research has demonstrated the efficacy of employing optical fiber sensors in conditio...

there are several strategies for maintenance and repairing of devices in industry. however, they are still confronted with many uncertainties. a hydraulic lifting device after ten years of working in a technical center in isfahan is faced with uncertainty in terms of reliability. being able to know the reliability of pieces means predicting failure occurrences, which is accomplished by conditio...

The paper analyzes, in brief, various on-line condition monitoring techniques for rotating electrical machines. The different failure mechanisms of electrical machines and several monitoring techniques are analysed. The advantages, disadvantages and reliability of each technique are underlined. A few of the current state of the art techniques are reviewed by surveying the latest developments in...

Condition monitoring is currently widely used for industrial equipment to allow predictive maintenance of the equipment. For power electronic converters there currently is no generally accepted and widely deployed condition monitoring method. In this paper the authors investigate the benefits and desirability of condition monitoring.
