Mitigation of Thermal Stress Accelerants on Key Components of an Electric Grid

An apropos supply of grid resiliency materials has been found to be scarce within certain regions located within member countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). This has led to numerous ad hoc paradigms. As an exemplar, the non-ideal positioning of a normally grounded, isolated indoor climate-controlled paradigm of key distribution feeders to temporary outdoor yard positions constitutes a potentially hazardous situation. In fact, there is a distinct possibility that the excessive ambient temperature conditions (i.e. non-climate-controlled outdoor environment) of the distribution substation's yard, where the temporary outdoor feeder now temporarily resides, can cause the temperature within a recloser control cabinet to dramatically increase; the ensuing thermal stress can affect the insulation of both the enclosed equipment and the involved cables, thereby potentially leading to a possible explosion of the involved recloser control cabinet. Apropos telemetry sensors and the instantiation of grid resiliency reserve depots (to supply the necessary wire/control cables) can assist in mitigating against these situations, which can lead to catastrophic failure.
