Did you know that 85 out of 100 failures that hinder the operation of substations are related to partial discharge (PD)? This is a fact stated by EA Technology, a power asset specialist. PD occurs within or on the surface of the insulating materials of substation equipment. It is a progressive process that leads to insulation breakdown, carbonization, and ultimately flashover or explosion. The worst-case scenario is damage to the power equipment, which is an asset. Power outages resulting from this can affect essential functions in society, causing power suppliers to lose $650,000 per day. *For more details, you can view the related links.

All services, including government, banks, and hospitals, depend on data technology. In modern society, the stable operation of server halls is essential. To maintain services that play an extremely important role in society, downtime is not permitted. Therefore, data centers must be resistant to water and fire and must be energy-efficient. Before constructing a data center, it is important to first select an appropriate location. This process involves assessing the risks of extreme weather and flooding. By analyzing past data and trend forecasts, it is possible to identify areas that are more susceptible to natural disasters. However, it is important to note that flooding can occur in areas outside of flood risk zones or even with normal rainfall, and groundwater levels can also pose a problem. *For more detailed information, please refer to the related links.

In the past, issues with pipe penetrations were not a concern. In shipyards, thick-walled metal pipes were either directly welded to the structure or connected with flange joints. However, there has been a growing demand for alternative piping systems to overcome the problems associated with conventional steel pipes, such as corrosion resistance and weight. Currently, the piping materials used in ships and offshore platforms include stainless steel, copper, CuNi, titanium, multilayer (PE-Alu-PE), thermoplastic plastics, and fiberglass reinforced plastics. *For more details on the column, please refer to the related links.
