WHY ASSET MONITORING

Optimising Performance with data driven insights

Cable condition monitoring is essential for maintaining the reliability and efficiency of power grid operations and industrial processes. Despite their critical role, unexpected failures in cables can lead to significant consequences. However, with proactive monitoring and maintenance, many of these failures can be avoided. It’s important to recognize that the overall reliability of a cable system is heavily influenced by the performance of its least reliable component.

Early Detection for Cables

By continuously monitoring critical parameters such as temperature, insulation integrity, and environmental conditions, cable monitoring systems can swiftly identify potential issues at their inception. This proactive approach enables timely maintenance, minimizing downtime and costly repairs.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

Equipped with real-time data on cable health, operators can establish preventive maintenance schedules tailored to actual conditions rather than rigid time intervals. This targeted approach optimizes maintenance efforts and reduces the risk of unexpected failures.

Performance Enhancement

Monitoring cable condition enables operators to identify and address inefficiencies or abnormalities promptly. By addressing these issues swiftly, cable systems can operate at peak efficiency, ensuring optimal performance.

Improved Reliability

Regular monitoring ensures that cables operate reliably and consistently over time. Early detection and resolution of potential faults reduce the risk of unexpected failures, leading to enhanced reliability and uptime.

Extended Lifespan

Proactive maintenance driven by condition monitoring data can extend the lifespan of switchgears. Addressing issues before they escalate mitigates damage or degradation, allowing switchgears to function for extended periods without replacement. 

Cost-Efficiency

By minimizing downtime, optimizing performance, and extending cable lifespan, condition monitoring results in substantial cost savings for operators. The initial investment in monitoring technology is often offset by reductions in maintenance expenses and improved operational efficiency.

Sheath Current Monitoring

Sheath current monitoring in power cables is a vital aspect of ensuring the integrity, performance, and safety of electrical distribution systems. By continuously monitoring the current flowing through the cable sheath, organizations can detect potential issues such as insulation degradation, ground faults, or external interference, allowing for timely intervention and prevention of electrical failures.

  •  Early detection of cable faults
  •  Improved safety

Power Monitoring

Power monitoring in HVDC cables is applicable across various industries and sectors, including utilities, renewable energy, transportation, telecommunications, and infrastructure. It is essential for monitoring HVDC transmission lines, interconnectors, and converter stations to ensure reliable and efficient power transmission over long distances. Power monitoring in HVDC cables is critical for maintaining efficient, reliable, and safe power transmission. By continuously monitoring power parameters, organizations can optimize performance, prevent failures, and ensure the reliable operation of HVDC cables for long-term performance.

  •  Optimize power transmission
  •  Reduced energy losses

Temperature Monitoring

Real-time temperature monitoring of cable terminations and joints refers to the continuous and instantaneous measurement and analysis of temperature levels at the points where high-voltage direct current (HVDC) cables terminate or are connected through joints. This monitoring process is crucial for ensuring the integrity, reliability, and safety of HVDC cable systems.

HVDC cable terminations and joints are critical components of electrical transmission systems, where cables connect to equipment such as transformers, circuit breakers, or other cables. These terminations and joints are susceptible to various factors that can lead to temperature abnormalities, including load variations, environmental conditions, insulation degradation, or mechanical stress.
