    L2 TCA course – e-lesson #13 – Report generation and cost benefit analysis

    L2 TCA course - e-lesson #12 - 850 x 400 px
    Course: Master’s level

    Hosted by: Jon Giesecke

    This final master's-level lesson focuses on the critical process of generating comprehensive reports and analyzing the cost benefits of transformer condition assessments. The presenter, Jon Giesecke, emphasizes the importance of creating concise, understandable reports that effectively communicate inspection findings. He shares his experience in developing a customizable Excel-based reporting system that integrates various testing technologies and provides a clear visual representation of transformer health. A key aspect of the lesson is the discussion on quantifying the financial benefits of proactive maintenance, including strategies for calculating avoided costs and justifying the value of the inspection program. Giesecke provides practical guidance on scenarios and probabilities to consider when determining the cost-benefit ratio. The session concludes with an opportunity for attendees to ask questions and engage with the presenter's wealth of industry knowledge.
