Systemic Failure in the UK Solar Fleet
Ben will look at three common types of failure in electrical equipment at UK solar power installations, and discuss whether the differences between ‘old’ and ‘new’ power systems and practices might have a contributory role.
Testing Times – Challenges Associated with Testing Power Plant Systems
Nick will discuss the challenges associated with testing and maintaining the integrity of power plant protective and back-up systems.
Power Investigation Challenges: Techniques & Evidence That We Collect
Nick showcases some techniques that we can use to investigate an incident and the evidence that we can collect to support in recovery or litigation. He will also cover some of the challenges faced when investigating.
Gas Turbines & Hydrogen Through the Energy Transition
As power generation shifts to renewable energy and sustainable fuels, gas turbine engines will continue to play a crucial role in maintaining energy demand. Simon discusses the challenges and mitigations of running gas turbines through the energy transition.
Wind Turbines: Risks & Failures
With increased demand for clean renewable energy wind turbines are growing in numbers, size and capacity. In this webinar, Amir will look at failures associated with wind turbines.
