This lesson provided a critical analysis of modern techniques for offline and online dissolved gas analysis (DGA) measurement. It covered the chemical principles and importance of gas detection in DGA, highlighting the evolution from gas chromatography to spectrometry methods. The session emphasized the role of standardization in DGA diagnosis and the advantages and limitations of various measurement techniques, including gas chromatography, spectrometry, photoacoustic spectroscopy, and electrochemical detection. Historical methods were also discussed to provide context. The presentation concluded by discussing future directions, such as the potential for photoacoustic spectroscopy and solid-state sensors to replace gas chromatography. Overall, the lesson equipped attendees with a comprehensive understanding of DGA measurement approaches and their suitability for different applications.

Main takeaways:

1. A brief description of DGA measurement techniques available today for offline and online DGA devices
2. A comparison and evaluation of major strengths and weaknesses – productivity, confidence, malleability
