Qatar General Electricity and Water Corporation “Kahramaa” has launched a new initiative to make power transmission network efficient and sustainable in a bid to reduce the equipment failure rate and other many benefits. It comes within Kahramaa endeavour to achieve its mission of providing high quality and sustainable electricity and water for better living in Qatar.
The initiative implements a sound, cost effective process and set of solutions that will reduce transmission substation equipment failure rate, optimise “repair or replace” decisions, define maintenance priorities, enable reliability/condition-based strategy for critical assets, reducing outages and extension of asset life based on sound models with condition monitoring and failure risk analysis. The project will include oil analysis on power transformers fleet, infra-red thermography and visual inspections of all power equipment for transmission primary substations, consolidated with partial Discharged measurements.
