Innovation Grid

Purpose: Failure prevention in HVDC systems.

Objectives

Development of a system made up of sensors connected to an intelligent electronic device, integrated with an online monitoring software platform.

Key Results

  • Technical: Predicting faults in high-voltage wall bushings in HVDC systems
  • Strategic: Avoiding the shutdown of a transmission function, guaranteeing the reliability of the electricity system, and physical accidents on site; avoid loss of revenue and damage to property and people
  • Economic: Payback of ~2.5 years, considering the cost reductions of HVDC bushing failures
