    摘要: A method for assessing the aging or monitoring the status of an electrical device that has a solid insulation arrangement and a liquid and/or gaseous insulating medium in contact with the solid insulation arrangement. In a first step S1, a thermo-hydraulic aging model is provided and a simulation for the electrical device is carried out. S2) local temperatures are calculated for various areas of the electrical device in the scope of the simulation; and S3) amounts of at least one aging product, which arises due to the aging of the solid insulation arrangement and passes into the insulating medium, are calculated for the various areas. There is also provided a corresponding computer program and a computer-readable medium.

    摘要: A method and system for suppressing EMP-induced voltage surges due to transient electromagnetic energy disturbance such as a detonation of a nuclear weapon at high altitude generating an EMP (HEMP) comprising E1, E2, and E3 component pulses. Surge protection assemblies are mounted inline, intermediate AC and DC distribution power lines and a plurality of electrical and electronic devices, powered by the lines. The inline mounting of the reconfigurable surge suppression system eliminates any time delay response of the plurality of protecting assemblies and the allowable voltage amplitude level of the protecting assemblies are selected and combined to achieve a predefined desired response time and protection level capacity to react to and mitigate the E1, E2, and E3 components of a complex multi-pulse EMP pulse generated by detonation of a nuclear weapon at high altitude (HEMP). The reconfigurable surge suppressing systems is interoperable with plurality of electrical interfaces.

    摘要: A method for reducing and/or managing energy-related stress in an electrical system includes processing electrical measurement data from or derived from energy-related signals captured by at least one intelligent electronic device (IED) in the electrical system to identify and track at least one energy-related transient in the electrical system. An impact of the at least one energy-related transient on equipment in the electrical system is quantified, and one or more transient-related alarms are generated in response to the impact of the at least one energy-related transient being near, within or above a predetermined range of the stress tolerance of the equipment. The transient-related alarms are prioritized based in part on at least one of the stress tolerance of the equipment, the stress associated with one or more transient events, and accumulated energy-related stress on the equipment. One or more actions are taken in the electrical system in response to the transient-related alarms to reduce energy-related stress on the equipment in the electrical system.
