Reducing Operations and Maintenance Costs While Enhancing Substation Security
July 22, 2022
Utility substations play a vital role in transmitting and distributing power to thousands of customers across wide geographic regions. High-value assets, such as transformers, capacitor banks, bushings, CVT and load tap changers, to name only a few, must be regularly inspected, maintained, and repaired to mitigate the risk of severe failures and outages.
Mitigating the Risk of Substation Security with Touchless Monitoring Solutions
July 8, 2022
Critical infrastructure, such as power generating facilities, high voltage transmission lines, and utility substations present attractive targets for vandals and other malicious actors. Damage or disruption to these facilities can have wide-ranging consequences to customers, businesses, and society and cost utilities in repairs, fines, and other expenses.
Data, Not Truck Rolls – Using the IM500 Thermal & Visual Sensor for Substation Monitoring
June 24, 2022
The Operations group at a midsized electrical utility is responsible for monitoring and maintaining numerous remote substations across a wide geographic region. As the substation infrastructure ages and demand for reliable power generation grows, maintenance and repair crews are under increasing pressure to avoid outages and ensure the system is fully functional.
Stress on the Power Grid – The Need for Reliability Through Power Line and Substation Monitoring
June 10, 2022
The North American power grid is under increasing stress. Aging infrastructure is being asked to do more with less as demand for power grows and reliable access to electricity impacts nearly all aspects of our daily lives.
Shifting to Condition Based Maintenance With the TCAM2500 Thermal & Visual Monitoring System
May 20, 2022
The Operations group at an electric power utility is struggling to manage and maintain equipment at large remote substations. Aging infrastructure, a lack of automation systems, and a shortage of qualified staff have increased the frequency and severity of unplanned outages resulting in fines and higher maintenance costs. As issues occur, crews are dispatched reactively to physically inspect the site, identify the cause, and conduct repairs.
Comparing Approaches to Remote Substation Monitoring – Why a Touchless™ Approach Is Better
May 3, 2022
In the US alone, more than 55,000 substations and 7 million miles of high voltage transmission and distribution lines transmit more than $400 billion of electricity each year.
