ENERGY GRID PROTECTION

Distributed Temperature Sensing Solution

Distributed Acoustic Sensing Solution

Today’s Power grids are spread across hundreds of kilometres, having several unmanned facilities and experience severe weather making them inherently susceptible. With the rise in demand and customer standards for dependability, power grids have to increase their safe ampacity level without incurring much cost. This is also challenged by security threats from terrorism and theft. These systems are not built to withstand or to recover rapidly from damage.

This calls for the industry to invest in bolstering and modernising its outdated technology with more reliable and smart solutions.

We provide you with our distributed temperature sensing and distributed acoustic sensing solutions for your power grid’s asset protection and network performance optimization.

Advantages

Smart Management - Greater return on investment and reduced capital spending by optimizing component lifetime and preventing unnecessary maintenance.

Cost-effective Implementation – Easy to install as it utilizes existing telecom infrastructure for sensing elements which in turn reduces the overall cost and time of deployment.

Enhanced Security – By monitoring and alarms at all points on the grid, including perimeters, entry, and access points, the risk of accidental or malicious third-party intrusion (TPI) can be minimized.

Improved Decision Making – Due to accurate, real-time, and actionable information at all points on the grid it enables rapid and targeted decision-making, leading to enhanced management of grid assets.

Application

Substation Asset Monitoring

Our solutions can provide efficient condition monitoring and protection ta number of assets within the substation such as -

Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS)

Transformer monitoring

Busbar hotspot detection

Cable trays and ducts

Overhead Power Line Intrusion Detection

Our Distributed Acoustic Sensing solution can use the existing tele-communication infrastructure already installed (e.g.: OPGW) for -

Preventing cables and structural elements by detecting thefts.

Locating the origination of electrical fault.

Pinpointing the location of Lightning strike on the overhead line.

Underground cable monitoring and intrusion detection

• Our DTS-RTTR solution provides a complete tool for condition monitoring of the underground cables as it provides thermal profile of the cable allowing the operator to accurately locate any hot spots and potential cause of failure.

• Our DAS solution provides third party interference (TPI) and prevention of both malicious tampering and accidental damage.

Offshore Subsea Cable Protection

Our DAS solution can provide protection for subsea cables as -

Span monitoring location and mitigation.

Vessel location and detection of anchor drag.

Cable movement and location on the sea floor.

Partial discharge monitoring.
