Innovation Grid

Purpose: Reducing the variable portion by predicting faults in substation equipment using artificial intelligence.

Objectives

Development of computer programs for highly accurate numerical methods, in order to provide legitimacy and savings in the acquisition of land and installation of wind turbines.

Key Results

  • Technical: Establish a protocol for monitoring and continuously improving the AI solution, reviewing and adjusting the algorithms every quarter, based on the results obtained and lessons learned
  • Strategic: Increase the accuracy of fault predictions in transmission substation equipment by 15% within one year, improving the efficiency of the predictive maintenance process
  • Economic: Reduce unplanned downtime in transmission substation equipment by 10% within one year
