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.

Sam A’Court

Sam has wealth of hands-on experience in the design, operation, maintenance, and modification of a wide range of process, utility, and safety systems, encompassing separation, heat exchange, produced water treatment, relief systems, and gas dehydration.

Bristol Series – Corrosion in the Power Industry

Giuseppe will focus on two widespread corrosion mechanisms that routinely lead to large BI claims in the power industry: Corrosion Under Insulation, and Microbiologically Induced Corrosion. He will discuss what causes these degradation mechanisms, as well as how to recognise and prevent them.

Domestic Heating Oil: Where, Why & How it Escapes

Patrick will look at the various ways in which domestic heating oil can escape into the environment and what should be done to prevent these leaks.

Materials Series – The Effects of Hydrogen on Materials Properties

Lin introduces the basic characteristics of hydrogen, the current trend for its applications, its effects on materials, and some recent examples of materials failures in the context of insurance claims.
