2 Why do we need diagnostics? Composition of US MV system Underground cable system infrastructure is aging (and failing). Much of the system is older than its design life. Not enough money / manufacturing capacity to simply replace cable systems because they are old. Need diagnostic tools that can help us decide which cables/accessories to replace & which can be left in service.

6 At the Start For many utilities, the usefulness of diagnostic testing was unclear. The focus was on the technique, not the approach. The economic benefits were not well defined. There was almost no independently collated and analyzed data. There were no independent tools for evaluating diagnostic effectiveness. Where we are today (). Diagnostics work they tell you many useful things, but not everything.. Diagnostics do not work in all situations.. Diagnostics have great difficulty definitively determining the longevity of individual devices. 4. Utilities HAVE to act on ALL replacement/repair recommendations to get improved reliability.. The performance of a diagnostic program depends on Where you use the diagnostic When you use the diagnostic What diagnostic you use What you do afterwards CDFI Background/Overview CDFI Background/Overview Where we are today () Overview 6. Quantitative analysis is complex BUT is needed to clearly see benefits. 7. Diagnostic data require skilled interpretation to establish how to act. 8. No one diagnostic is likely to provide the detailed data required for accurate diagnoses. 9. Large quantities of field data are needed to establish the accuracy/limitations of different diagnostic technologies..important to have correct expectations diagnostics are useful but not perfect! In the CDFI, NEETRAC worked with 7 utilities, manufacturers and diagnostic providers to achieve the objective of clarifying the concerns and defining the benefits of diagnostic testing. CDFI Background/Overview We have come a long way wrt the project objective. Analysis driven by data / results Developed a good understanding that diagnostic testing can be useful, but the technologies are not perfect. Developed ways to define diagnostic technology accuracy and found ways to handle inaccuracies. Developed diagnostic technology selection and economic analysis tools. Understand that there is yet more to learn. CDFI Background/Overview 4 6

Contaminants in insulation or shields Cable System Failure Process 8 7
8 Conversion of Water to Electrical Trees Defect Types in Extruded Cable Accessories Electrical tree growing from water tree Acts as a stress enhancement or protrusion (non-conducting) Water tree increases local electric field Water tree also creates local mechanical stresses If electrical and mechanical stresses high enough electrical tree initiates Electrical tree completes the failure path rapid growth Cable System Failure Process 9 Cable System Failure Process Diagnostics used in Challenging Areas Summary Cable system aging is a complex phenomenon. Multiple factors cause systems to age. Increases in dielectric loss and partial discharge are key phenomenon. The aging process is nonlinear. Diagnostics must take these factors into consideration.

Action Determine what actions can be taken on circuits based on the results of diagnostic testing. Generation Conduct diagnostic testing of the at-risk population.

16 Performance of Diagnostics Performance evaluation primarily focuses on diagnostic accuracy. Diagnostic Accuracies Nigel Hampton Diagnostic accuracies quantify the diagnostic s ability to correctly assess a circuit s condition. Accuracy must be assessed based on pilot type field test programs in which no actions are performed. Circuits must be tracked for a sufficient period of time. 6 6 Diagnostic Accuracies Objective of Diagnostic Tests The target population contains both Good and Bad components Good Will not fail within diagnostic time horizon Bad Will fail within diagnostic time horizon Bad Components Target Population Good Components Diagnostic Operation Applying the diagnostic will separate the population into: No Action Required group Action Required group But the diagnostic is imperfect... 6 Diagnostic Accuracies 64 Diagnostic Accuracies 6
17 Perspective Bad Means Failure Accuracies Diagnostics make measurements in the field and find Anomalies. Detecting the presence of an Anomaly is, in our view, not sufficient. The goal, in our view, is to detect an Anomaly which leads to reduced reliability (failure in service) or compromised performance (severed neutrals stray voltage).

A developing database of field failure diagnostic data shows that different diagnostic techniques can provide some indication about cable system condition.. Even if the diagnostics themselves are imprecise, diagnostic programs can be beneficial.. Benefits can be quantified, however this is not simple and requires effort. 4. Many different data analysis techniques, including some non conventional approaches, are needed to assess diagnostic effectiveness.. Utilities HAVE to act on ALL replacement/repair recommendations to get improved reliability. 68 Summary
43 What we have learned about diagnostics () 6. PD, VLF, DC and Tan δ & VLF withstand tests detect problems in the field and can be used to improve system reliability. 7. It is very difficult to predict whether or not the problems/defects detected by PD and Tan δ will lead to failure in the short/medium term. What we have learned about diagnostics ().Interpretation of PD measurements is more complex than interpretation of Tan δ measurements..irc & RV are particularly difficult to deploy in the field. 8. PD assessments are good at establishing groups of cable system segments that are not likely to fail. 9. Tan δ measurements provide a number of interesting features for assessing the condition of cable systems..tan δ & PD measurements require interpretation to establish how to act. Summary 69 Summary 7 Reflections Approach to data analysis established in CDFI Many questions answered, there still remain gaps in our understanding of: Benefits Distinguishing anomalies from weaknesses Answers will come with continued analysis of field test data (diagnostic tests followed by circuit performance monitoring) as well as controlled laboratory tests. The potential value of continued analysis is high. 7 Summary 4
