A Study on the Advanced Asset Management of MV Switchgear

This study focuses on enhancing MV (Medium Voltage) switchgear asset management efficiency through life extension strategies. It includes an analysis of MV switchgear configurations, international practices, and successful life extension cases. The analysis identifies key components, roles, and maintenance needs. By examining international case studies, the research highlights advanced techniques and strategies from developed countries. The study explores technologies and methods effective in prolonging MV switchgear lifespan, emphasizing systematic health assessments such as continuous monitoring, inspection, and testing. Based on these assessments, economic evaluations determine the need for refurbishment, retrofit, and remanufacturing. Implementing these strategies improves the reliability of electrical systems and supports resource circulation, carbon neutrality, and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management.
