7068: Pre-Feasibility Study on Gas Heat Pumps

This study’s overarching goal is to characterize the potential for gas heat pump technologies as a demand side management (DSM) measure in FortisBC’s service area. FortisBC intends to use this study to determine the feasibility of launching a pilot, and to ultimately offer Energy Efficiency and Conservation funds for this group of technologies.In support of this goal, this study assesses space and water heating energy demand among FortisBC’s residential and commercial customers

3008: The Use of Temperature Marker Compounds as a Means of Detecting Hot Spots in Power Transformers

This report describes the results of a literature search to identify oil-soluble compounds that could serve as chemical markers to indicate the presence of hot spots within a power transformer. The compounds contain elements such as halogens that enable the parent compounds and their degradation products to be readily detected at low concentrations. Potential marker compounds were selected for future laboratory evaluation based on their reported ability to undergo a sharp chemical transformati

3076: Optimal Life Cycle Management for Transformers: A Financial/Risk Model

The proposed model is principally a stochastic financial model, not a technical model. The main goal is to calculate the total lifecycle costs of a single transformer over a specified period, taking into account maintenance and sustainability policies. The financial model uses Monte Carlo simulation to generate random events, deterioration, and life expectancy for each of these scenarios using different lifecycle costs. The total lifecycle cost can be defined as the sum of all recurring and non-

3286: Improving Overhead Transmission Line Resiliency in Responding to Extreme Natural and Man-Made Disaster Events – Maintenance Perspective

This report examines the current state of overhead transmission lines’ resiliency against severe events from a maintenance and operations process perspective. The report emphasizes the importance of understanding: a) what has been done and is being done by the utility industry at large in this regard, b) what tools, practices, processes, and procedures are available for consideration in achieving utility resiliency objectives, c) how these tools, practices, procedures, and processes can be ampli

3143: Best Practices for Incorporating Probabilistic Planning into Transmission Planning

For reliable and economic operation of power systems, electric utilities maintain sufficient generation, transmission, and distribution capacities to ensure continuity of electric services to their customers under normal and certain abnormal conditions. Deterministic criteria and techniques have been developed and employed by the utility industry in power system planning and operation for many years and will continue to be benchmark criteria.Considerable work published over the last several deca

3704: Grounding System Risk in Design, Construction and Testing a New Grounding System

This report summarizes the findings of a technical review of the processes and tools employed in the design, construction and testing of grounding systems. The objective is to identify potential sources of errors that can result in either overly pessimistic (non-optimal) designs or overly optimistic (with unsatisfactory performance) design of the grounding system, introducing unintended risk in achieving the safe grounding conditions in most cost efficient manner. This report identifies design s

0317: CPF: Teflon Coated Thrust Bearing Pads for Hydro-Generators: Russian and Chinese Experience Feedback

Since the Teflon-coated thrust bearings have been very commonly used in the eastern countries, the project approach of the Technology Review is to make a performance and reliability evaluation of the Teflon coated thrust bearing pads on use in the hydro-generators, based on the operational feedback from a number of Russian and Chinese utilities. A systematic analysis of the field behavior of these bearings is conducted based on the information received from local scientists and end-users and the

5018: Recycled Oils

This report provides guidelines for establishing a recycling process for used transformer oil. The guidelines include: the identification of oils that can be successfully and economically recycled, selection of appropriate treatment processes, process and quality control testing, and safety concerns to ensure satisfactory performance of the recycled product. A spreadsheet for calculating the costs of recycling used transformer oils is included as an Appendix.

0236: CPF: Dam Safety Technology Roadmap

The Dam Safety Technology Roadmap updates the technical vision of the Dam Safety Interest Group (DSIG) and attempts to set priorities for future research programs and projects. Program areas are identified to provide dam owners and operators with reliable knowledge on dam safety issues and a greater capacity to share and transfer knowledge within the DSIG and more broadly with researchers, engineering practitioners, and academics to leverage influence within the industry.This white paper summari
