Transmission Distribution and Renewable Energy Generation Power Equipment Book

The revised edition presents, expands, and updates a comprehensive examination of the factors that cause and accelerate the ageing of conductive and insulating materials used in transmission and distribution electrical apparatus. In the second edition, new sections summarise the issues of ageing, reliability, and safety of electrical apparatus, as well as supporting equipment in the field of renewable energy generation (solar, wind, tide, and wave power). These systems deteriorate when exposed to corrosive gases and fluids in the atmosphere, contaminants, extreme high and low temperatures, vibrations, and other internal and external impacts; eventually, the apparatus's ability to function properly is destroyed.

In today's world of "green energy," the equipment that provides clean, electrical energy must be properly maintained to avoid premature failure. The goal of this book is to assist in determining the proper methods for slowing the ageing of electrical apparatus, improving its performance, and extending the life of power generation, transmission, and distribution equipment.
