MV Equipment / Coastal Cities

This dataset supports the manuscript titled “Strategies for Mitigating Degradation of Medium Voltage Electrical Equipment in Harsh Saline Environments.” The study focuses on identifying and addressing the challenges faced by medium voltage equipment in coastal environments characterized by high salinity, humidity, and extreme weather conditions. The dataset includes:Statistical Analyses: Incident data collected over several years, categorized by equipment type, location, and degradation mechanisms.Experimental Results: Diagnostics of various corrosion phenomena, including uniform, galvanic, and crevice corrosion, along with degradation of composite insulators.Maintenance Actions: Records of applied solutions such as silicone grease, RTV coatings, and epoxy-based protective measures, highlighting their effectiveness and limitations.Techno-Economic Evaluations: Cost-benefit analyses comparing short-term and long-term solutions for mitigating degradation and improving equipment reliability.This dataset serves as a valuable resource for researchers, engineers, and industry professionals seeking to enhance the resilience of electrical infrastructure in harsh environments.
