Innovation Grid

Purpose: Automation, remote assistance, and reduced operating costs.

Objectives

Development of hardware, software, and integrations needed to monitor the status of the disconnect switches and other substation assets with data acquisition and processing using LIDAR, visual, and thermal sensors.

Key Results

  • Technical: Processing of data acquired by LIDAR, visual and thermal sensors to confirm the state of the switchgear, inspection, and thermography under automatic routines, on demand and post-maneuver.
  • Strategic: Optimization of asset operation and maintenance
  • Economic: Reduction of operating costs and financial penalties
