Failure Analysis

Failure Analysis

Following a fault, the prompt response to understand the causes and to properly recover the plant through adequate rectification works is essential. Powener can quickly develop sophisticated models of electrical and electronic equipment and power systems (transformers, cables, GIS, etc.), also supported by on site complex measurements, to address and finalize the Root Cause Analysis.

Some examples of performed RCA.

  • Power transformer 220kV/66kV
  • Power transformer 500kV/132kV
  • Solar plant MV/LV transformers (repetitive failures)
  • MV Variable Frequency Drive
  • MV AC filter banks
  • Thyristor Controlled Reactor of an SVC
  • MV cables
  • MV breakers and disconnectors
