The book includes tables, illustrations, and models throughout to aid reader comprehension along with case studies and tutorials that help put theory into practice. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book explores the theoretical background behind dielectric materials, the degradation and failures observed in electrical equipment insulation, PD measurement systems that capitalize on the multi-physics nature of PDs, as well as insulation diagnostics techniques, artificial intelligence for condition monitoring, and current power equipment monitoring schemes. Later chapters discuss numerical modelling of the degradation mechanism instigated by PD activity and development of ultra-high frequency sensors used in PD detection. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdditional topics discussed in the book include: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eChallenges associated with health index identification, aging classification, remaining lifetime estimation, and the assessment of industry assets’ reliability\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEmission of ultra-high frequency radiation as a result of partial discharge activity\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMachine learning techniques, their role in power equipment assessment, and challenges they introduce in the transition towards smart grids\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUtilization of external and internal sensors for PD detection in gas-insulated switchgear\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eImpact of insulating barriers inside gas-insulated switchgear on the attenuation of electromagnetic waves\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eComprehensive in scope, \u003ci\u003ePartial Discharge, Breakdown, Aging, and Life Assessment in Electric \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003ePower Assets\u003c\/i\u003e is an excellent reference on the subject for senior undergraduate and graduate students, electric power system engineers, researchers, government planners, policymakers, and stakeholders.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Wiley-IEEE Press\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2026-09-23\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781394341900\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: Nonecm xNonecm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 432.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44557698629772,"sku":"9781394341900","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781394341900_d49e4663-d66b-45dd-8f04-792c90525132.jpg?v=1764071800","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781394341900","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
