This paper was the result of collaborative work with a number of NEETRAC member utilities. The industry has tended to view\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nwithstand tests as simply pass\/fail with little ability to predict future performance. This work has shown that there is much more information in these tests when the results are coupled with typical utility system data.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0022Measurement of Cable System Loss Using Time Domain and VLF Techniques\u0022 was written by Jean Francois Drapeau with Jean Carlos Hernandez. Mr. Drapeau is a researcher with Hydro Quebec who spent two research sabbaticals at NEETRAC. During this period, Messrs. Drapeau and Hernandez conducted the first study to compare the performance of two different diagnostic techniques. Prior to this work, it had been assumed that these techniques did not give the same findings; this work showed that they are in fact very comparable.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EA third presentation supported by the NEETRAC Baseline Program also won a Best Conference Paper Award.  The paper entitled \u0022Superhydrophobicity in Power Applications\u0022 was written by Nigel Hampton and Frank Lambert; it described the practical applications of coating to extend the life of insulating components.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"Team members from the National Electric Energy Testing Research and Applications Center (NEETRAC) received three Best Conference Paper Awards from the 2008 IEEE Insulated Conductors Committee Meeting.
