In addition to after-laying of new-installed high voltage (HV) power cables the use of on-site non-destructive on-site testing and diagnosis of service aged power cables is becoming an important issue to determine the actual condition of the cable systems and to determine the future performances. In this paper based on field experience an...

This thesis is an in-depth research on information concerning High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) power transmission. The far reaching effects from faults arising in HVDC cable systems are noteworthy and from this perspective a broad literature review is dedicated to insulation monitoring techniques. The analysis is further subcategorised into on...

Insulation failures in HV components may be caused by lower dielectric strength due to aging processes and by internal defects in the insulation system. It is known, that unlike voltage testing, measurements of the dielectric loss may give an absolute indicator for the quality level of the cable insulation. For several years the application of...

This thesis is aimed to analyze the effect of test parameters on DRM results from OLTC and its implementation in the condition assessment. Two test parameters were selected to be observed, which are test current and circuit resistance. Their amplitude was varied during the measurements and experiments in the laboratory as well as in the field ...

This paper presents a comparative analysis of methods used in European countries to assess buildings’ condition. The following methods were compared: a Portuguese method to assess buildings condition, an English housing health and safety rating system, a French method to assess buildings that may be declared inhabitable, a Dutch standard about...

The continuous increasing demand of public transportation capacity requires the railway network operating in tight schedule. The high transporting volumes not only aggravate the degradation of railway infrastructure but also shorten the time for maintenance. Well-arranged infrastructure maintenance contributes to the budget reduction and...

The current practice of bridge maintenance decision-making is informed by subjective visual inspection data with a long time interval between measurements, which creates inefficiencies and possible loss of value in the maintenance entity’s capabilities. New opportunities from technology-related innovations for measurement devices are available...

Context - The current environmental situation as a result of human life reflects the demand for more consciousness on the embedded energy of buildings. Moreover, due to the recent economic crisis the perceived naturalness to demolish existing buildings for new development is outdated. Hence, new functions should be accommodated in existing...

Managing electrical distribution assets entails making the decision on how to proceed with an ageing asset. The three options that asset managers have are run to fail, perform maintenance or repairs and lastly to replace. This decision making process is becoming incrementally more important due to the threat of replacement waves. This a...

In the current economic climate, it is crucial to optimize the use of all resources regarding railway infrastructure maintenance. In this paper, a multi-attribute decision support framework is applied to categorize railway embankments in order to prioritize maintenance activities. The paper describes a methodology to first determine the...

Despite use of GPS, lighthouses remain critical infrastructure for preserving safety of mariners and maritime trade, and the most dramatic examples are probably the Victorian era masonry towers located on remote offshore reefs around the British Isles and exposed to extreme weather conditions. Due to their age and likely increasing future...

Railway catenary is the main infrastructure that delivers electric power for train operation. It is a structure commonly constructed along the railway line with contact wires suspended above the track. One or multiple pantographs mounted on the roof of a moving train collects electric current from the catenary through the sliding contact with a...

The energy transition will significantly impact distribution transformers as they will have to deal with more load on them, which is also more variable due to renewable energy sources. However, currently, these transformers are often not monitored with sensors. Therefore, the Dutch network operator Stedin asked to investigate the possibilities...

This study presents the analogical assessment of the train-induced vibration and radiated noise in a proposed theater. The theater is to be constructed in a region with crowded metro lines, and the assessment is implemented in an analogical building with comparable structural type and metro condition. Prior to the assessment, the comparability...

Corrosion poses a significant risk to the safety of energy pipelines, while landslide disasters emerge as the primary threat responsible for triggering pipeline failures across mountainous areas. To date, there is limited research focused on the safety of energy pipelines considering the synergistic effect of corrosion and landslides. The...

Extension of operating lifetime of aging subsea pipelines is of great interest to oil and gas sectors. Corrosion and fatigue are the main causations of the condition degradation of subsea pipelines. A dynamic probabilistic condition assessment model based on continuous dynamic Bayesian network (DBN) is developed to support the life extension...

As the Western European building stock ages, attention is increasingly allocated to the maintenance of building components, particularly mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) systems. Although the latter are essential in ensuring the correct operation of a building and the safety of its occupants, they remain the crafts where the most...

In this work, a 3D finite element (FE) based model was developed to assess the condition of an underground hydrogen transmission pipeline containing a corrosion defect under combined internal pressure and soil movement-induced axial compression. The use of mechanical properties of X100 pipeline steel under different hydrogen charging time...
