Condition Assessment of Gas Insulated Switchgear Using Health Index and Conditional Factor Method

doi: 10.3390/en15249393
This paper proposes a comprehensive procedure to assess the condition of gas insulated switchgear (GIS) equipment by using the conventional weight and score method and introducing a conditional factor to improve the accuracy of the health index evaluation. Generally, the inspection and testing of GIS components are conducted according to manufacturer recommendations and guidelines in the international standards. However, this raw data has not been simplified and systematically processed for condition assessment. The score and weight technique are applied to transform the physical condition according to visible and measurable aging to numerical values in terms of component and bay health index values. The accuracy of the obtained health index has been improved by a conditional factor, which considers invisible aging factors, such as age, number of switching operations, degree of satisfactory operation, obsolescence, and adequacy of the interrupting rating. Here, a condition evaluation procedure has been developed and compared with the fuzzy logic method and the health index dominant score technique with satisfactory results. Subsequently, the proposed procedure has been developed as web application software to evaluate 175 bays of GIS in both 115 and 230 kV networks of an independent power producer supplying electricity of 3094 MW to a large industrial estate in Thailand. Eight GIS bays showed moderate or poor condition and the proper actions were assigned to prevent their failure. The software is in use in practice as a decision support tool to effectively manage the maintenance tasks and to improve supply reliability.
