China has been promoting the development of IES to achieve a high proportion of renewable energy penetration and energy usage efficiency in recent years.
During the last few years we have seen an increasing demand for non-invasive test methods for evaluating the condition of circuit breakers. Regardless if the circuit breaker is installed in a conventional substation, a switchgear or a Gas Insulated Substation (GIS), the industry has moved to try to perform a complete diagnostic without intervening any working connection; that means, testing both sides grounded systems and taking measurements without disconnecting secondary cables of the circuit breaker.

The first output from the Catapult’s project was published in May 2018 and was an analysis of the current pattern of ‘effective carbon prices’ in the UK for decarbonisation in different economic sectors and activities. This showed a range of “effective carbon prices” with a number of areas that still appear “under taxed”, including coal and gas-based generation and energy consumption in homes and businesses.
