Yorkshire Region Events

Join us for a public lecture on Northern Powergrid's plans to accommodate Net Zero power in our electricity network in the North East, Yorkshire, and North Lincolnshire. This lecture is supported by the IET Teesside and Northumbria committees and provides an excellent chance to network with the engineering community.

As with all assets, distribution cables age and deteriorate over time. The challenge to assess and determine the rate of deterioration is a challenge based on a number of factors. A method to determine condition is partial discharge mapping by way of detecting minor insulation failures before they become critical. This session aims to demonstrate an overview of the theory of partial discharge cable mapping, the techniques in setting up, differences in varying cable types and a case study.
