REPORT SUMMARY
Advanced monitoring and diagnostic sensors and systems are needed to provide reliable and accurate information for determining the condition of major transmission substation equipment. The tenth EPRI Substation Equipment Diagnostics Conference highlighted the work of researchers, universities, manufacturers and utilities in producing advanced monitoring and diagnostic equipment for substations. Background Utilities must continue to provide equal or better electric power service to their customers even as they continue to reduce their maintenance and operations staffs. To ensure reliable operation, the performance of major equipment in substationsincluding transformers, circuit breakers, instrument transformers, disconnect switches, batteries, insulators and control equipmentmust be accurately and reliably monitored and potential problems detected. The tenth EPRI conference on substation equipment diagnostics provided new and followup information to the previous conferences in this rapidly developing field. Objectives To present a forum for discussing the requirements and status of advanced diagnostic equipment and systems for substations. To review the ongoing work of EPRI researchers, manufacturers, universities, and independent research organizations. Approach EPRIs tenth Substation Equipment Diagnostics Conference convened on February 17-20, 2002 in San Antonio, Texas and was attended by 147 industry professionals. The four panels and 23 technical papers embraced the entire range of advanced substation diagnostics. An exhibit area displayed equipment and systems in the development, design and production phases. Key Points The tenth EPRI Substation Equipment Diagnostics Conference covered the following areas: For transformers: Computer diagnostics to load power transformers, new FRA developments, LTC contact coking research, on-line DGA and rate of gas generation research, utility monitoring experience, economic assessment of on-line monitoring, instrument transformer PD detection evaluation, a new approach to transformer condition assessment, forensic analysis of LTC material failures, high speed acoustic emission to detect transformer
deterioration, and transient performance of windings as a function of impedance versus frequency characteristic. For circuit breakers and other substation equipment: Using MMW for condition assessment, OCB diagnostics, life management of batteries, implementing substation predictive maintenance, wireless telemetry for assessment of equipment condition, circuit breaker operator analyzer, solutions for SF6 leak detection, diagnosis, sealing and management, For communications/data management/system integration: Tutorial on communication in substations, data standardization, integrated monitoring and diagnostics experiences.
In addition to the 23 technical papers, the Opening Session of the conference focused on how utility work will performed five years from now, the need to innovate while financial and experienced human resources are scarce, and IEEE substation monitoring standards. EPRI Perspective The conference provided an outstanding forum for interchange of information between utility engineers and those involved in the research, design, and manufacture of monitoring and diagnostic equipment. As a consequence of the interest shown and the attendance, EPRI plans to continue these conferences with the next one scheduled for February 23-26, 2003 in New Orleans, Louisiana.

ABSTRACT
Substation Equipment Diagnostics Conference X convened in San Antonio, Texas from February 17-20, 2002 to assemble, assess and communicate information on the latest diagnostic techniques, test devices, and systems for substation equipment. It focused on the latest monitoring equipment and diagnostic techniques being developed by EPRI and others in research programs, as well as the equipment and programs now available and in service by electric utilities. The conference brought together the views of researchers, manufacturers and users. The papers presented were organized under three categories: Transformers, Circuit Breakers and Other Substation Equipment, and Communications/Data Management/System Integration. Exhibit booths provided detailed information about vendor products or services for the attendees.
