Smartsub substation condition monitoring
Continuous, real time condition monitoring of ALL substation assets
- Online monitoring of substation assets providing real time information on both the current condition as well as historic trends
- Asset condition monitoring can include transformers, GIS / breakers, load tap changers, cables, batteries, bushings, CTs, protection relays, reactors, etc
- A complete one-stop shop solution for substation condition monitoring
Fully modular, flexible and secure system
- Sensor technologies and monitoring parameters can include all / any of the following:- partial discharge, oil temperature, oil pressure, vibration, oil levels and flow, moisture levels, SF6 gas density, dissolved gas analysis, analogs and switches, cooling, arc location, timings, etc
- Flexibility to monitor a mixture of currently installed and new / retrofitable IEDs and sensors
- Best in class approach by integrating QUALITROL / 3rd party IEDs and sensors
- Customise a solution to suit the overall utility needs or combine high specs in critical substations with medium specs elsewhere
- lOpen protocols (for full interoperability) including IEC 61850, IEC 60870, DNP 3.0 and Modbus, together with shared real time comms – offering full scalability
- High level cyber security (in line with NERC CIP security standards)
Achieve greater grid reliability
- Prioritise maintenance on assets showing trends towards near term failure – catch it early!
- Fewer outages achieved through ability to reduce asset failures and their resulting unexpected trips, as consequence of monitoring condition and trends in real time
- Improve SAIDI / CML through reduction in outages
- Optimise asset utilisation and monitor effect on changing loads in real time
