EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of IEEE 980 testing. This standard discusses the importance of oil spill regulations in power supply substations; identify sources of oil spills; discusses typical designs and methods for oil containment and oil spill control; and provides guidelines for the preparation of a typical spill prevention control and mitigation plan. This standard applies only to non-polychlorinated biphenyl (non-PCB) insulating oil.
It is not the purpose of this standard to interpret official regulations or the applicability of the oil containment systems offered in terms of compliance with these regulations.
Limiting, controlling and mitigating oil spills is a concern for owners and operators of electricity supply substations. The environmental impact of oil spills and their mitigation are regulated by government agencies, requiring greater attention to the need for secondary oil containment in substations.
Beyond the threat to the environment, mitigation costs associated with oil spills continue to rise, and the negative community response to any spill is increasingly unacceptable. This standard identifies certain government regulations, sources of oil spills, and typical methods and plans used to contain, contain and mitigate them.
Therefore, it is prudent to recognize that almost every substation in the utility sector has the potential for oil spills. Consequently, it makes sense to determine the extent of the problem, if any, and suggest reasonable measures to contain oil spills through an IEEE standard.
