Condition Assessment and Diagnostic Services

|
Condition assessment can help you optimize and extend the useful operating life of your installation, overhead lines and cables effectively and responsibly.
The key to success is securing strategic diagnostic measurements and a condition assessment report. A report that details the technical condition of the installation, listing the critical components and providing recommendations for continued safe and reliable operation of an ageing infrastructure at a customer-defined balance between risks and costs.
The assessed technical condition can be expressed in terms of maintenance needs, degree of technical ageing, hazard rate or lifetime expectancy and supports decision-making on:- maintenance specification and planning
- maintenance concepts
- replacement planning
- replacement strategy
Balance costs and risks
KEMA possesses a wealth of know-how and expertise on condition assessment and its applications. We provide the key information typically needed for modern asset management as clear information on the technical condition of the components. This information is often the missing link between general database analyses and actual decision support.
Depending on a client's requirements and available data, our condition assessment activities includes any of the following sequential activities:- review of available historical data
- physical inspections
- on-line diagnostic measurements
- dissolved Gas Analysis (DGA)
- off-line diagnostic measurements
- destructive testing
Our recent projects include:- condition assessment and remnant lifetime estimation of 132 kV equipment including transformers, GIS, oil-filled cables and overhead lines
- training and technology transfer of KEMA condition assessment tools and know-how
- condition assessments and risk analyses of entire regional and national medium voltage networks (3-60 kV) in several countries in Europe and the Middle East.
