Welcome to this EEE Wide Seminar
The existing electrical energy system infrastructure, due to its long lifetime span, requires effective asset management, and its future development under the backdrop of net-zero economy will need to take the whole life cycle assessment into consideration, which means a combination of parameters such as cost, carbon, reliability and resilience under the uncertainty of future operational scenarios need to be designed into a new piece of substation equipment. To do this effectively, it is required to fully utilise the digitalisation and digital twin techniques, which involve data science, and advance modelling & simulation, to ensure the future energy infrastructure is smart, cost-effective and good for the environment. This talk will review the traditional high voltage engineering which is already and always a multiple disciplinary engineering area and introduce how high voltage power system plant and insulation subjects can infuse with the development of latest sensoring and data mining tools, modelling software. Transformer and Circuit Breaker examples will be used to discuss about the digitalisation of the future infrastructure for its design, development and operation.
