Overview
To provide the module participants with in-depth knowledge of the deterioration and failure mechanisms of major power systems equipment and assets, and with the competency to monitor and assess the conditions and health status of these assets. With the number of aging assets in power generation and T&D growing, and increasing installation of new type of assets such as solar photovoltaic and power electronic-based systems, there is urgent need to improve the knowledge and competency of power engineering professionals in condition monitoring of these assets. The topics of this module shall be presented in three broad areas:
- Condition Monitoring of Rotating Electrical Machines – Generators and motors are subjected to high mechanical and electrical stresses and have many possible failure mechanisms. Requirements of instrumentation, signal processing and monitoring through temperature, chemical, vibrational and electrical techniques are covered.
- Condition Monitoring of High Voltage Equipment - Transmission lines, cables, transformer and switchgears are subjected to high voltage stresses and understanding of failure mechanisms in the different types of insulation employed in such equipment is important. Gas, oil and partial discharge analysis are covered.
- Recent Advances in Condition Monitoring and Health Prognosis –Electrochemical-based energy storage systems, solar photovoltaic systems and power flow converters are increasingly integrated as assets in power grids and the common failure mechanisms are of electrochemical origins, semiconductor nature or metallic nature in the die-packaging interface. Big data, pervasive sensing and computational intelligence are transforming the nature of condition monitoring and health prognosis applications in smart grids.

What Industry Experts Say?
Extract from preface of an official reference book for this module:
“……. the availability of advanced electronics and software in powerful instrumentation, computers and digital signal processors has simplified and extended our ability to instrument and analyse machinery, not least in the important area of visualising the results of complex condition-monitoring analysis. As a result, condition monitoring is now being applied to a wider range of systems, from fault-tolerant drives of a few hundred watts in the aerospace industry, to machinery of several hundred megawatts in major capital plant. The value of the fundamental contribution to these advances by many analysts over the last 20 years cannot be underestimated and they will play a major part in the future.” – [Peter Tavner, Li Ran, Jim Penman and Howard Sedding, “Condition Monitoring of Rotating Electrical Machines”, The Institution of Engineering and Technology, United Kingdom, 2008.]
