Playing the long game on network reliability: partial discharge monitoring

A new report to explain the significance of partial discharge monitoring to sustaining improvements in power network reliability and effective asset optimisation.

Partial discharge in an endemic challenge for power networks operators, a constant pest which can eat away at the integrity of critical assets over time and ultimately lead to costly unplanned downtime, missed performance targets and regulatory fines.

In this new report from Utility Week, in association with Megger, we explain:

  • the science of partial discharge
  • its potential to damage assets and disrupt service levels
  • how recent advances in technology for testing and monitoring it can help utilities play the long game on improving reliability
