A Bibliometric and Comprehensive Review on Condition Monitoring of Metal Oxide Surge Arresters.

This paper presents a literature review on the subject of Condition-Based Maintenance of surge arresters. Both a bibliometric analysis and traditional comprehensive research are presented. The bibliometric analysis is useful for obtaining insights about the literature.

Detection of Failures in Metal Oxide Surge Arresters Using Frequency Response Analysis.

This work presents an innovative application of Frequency Response Analysis (FRA) in order to detect early degradation of Metal Oxide Surge Arresters (MOSAs). This technique has been widely used in power transformers, but has never been applied to MOSAs. It consists in comparisons of spectra, measured at different instants of the lifetime of the arrester.

Online Frequency Response Analysis of Electric Machinery through an Active Coupling System Based on Power Electronics.

This paper presents an innovative concept for the online application of Frequency Response Analysis (FRA). FRA is a well known technique that is applied to detect damage in electric machinery. As an offline technique, the machine under testing has to be removed from service-which may cause loss of production.

An Ultrasonic-Capacitive System for Online Characterization of Fuel Oils in Thermal Power Plants.

This paper presents a ultrasonic-capacitive system for online analysis of the quality of fuel oils (FO), which are widely used to produce electric energy in Thermal Power Plants (TPP) due to their elevated heating value. The heating value, in turn, is linked to the quality of the fuel (i.e.
