Analytics a key building block for utility IoT solution

The Internet of Things (IoT) and the data it offers for monitoring and control represents an important opportunity for utilities. Utilities have long had access to enormous amounts of data, but the building blocks of an IoT solution now include powerful analytics capabilities which enable utilities to better utilise this data to transform their operations.

An effective way to reduce cable failures

Faults on underground power cables are almost always disruptive and costly to fix. So there’s a very big incentive to minimise the risk of such faults occurring. One of the most effective ways of doing this is to use partial discharge (PD) testing and mapping, partial discharge activity is an indication of incipient insulation faults and is widely regarded as one of the best ‘early warning’ indicators of deterioration in medium and high voltage insulation.
