USA, Massachusetts: Doble Engineering Company has been contracted by National Grid Saudi Arabia to support a new phase of its power grid reliability initiative, which will expand transformer health programs into additional regions.
The two organizations have worked together since June 2014 to perform asset health reviews on nearly 1,700 transmission transformers located mostly in National Grid Saudi Arabia’s Western, Southern, and Eastern Operating Area, according to Doble.
The new project will extend this approach on additional transformers located mostly in the Central Operating Areas and will continue to review data for the other regions, which will effectively bring all of the organization’s transformers under diagnostic surveillance.
The new agreement also includes the continued review of testing and maintenance practices, and a comprehensive study of National Grid Saudi Arabia’s in-house electrical insulating oil laboratories.
