Electric Utilities and Substation Monitoring

Aging infrastructure and growing demand for low-cost energy are putting more stress on the power grid – increasing the risks of costly and potentially devastating brownouts and blackouts. At this critical time, utilities need solid solutions to help increase capabilities, maintain reliability, while at the same time, keeping costs under control.

Throughout the years, handheld, portable thermal cameras served as the go-to tool in identifying hot spots and potential failure areas in electrical distribution systems, but they are often only used intermittently. Facility that implement continuous temperature monitoring of critical equipment and assets – such as transformers, bushings, and capacitor banks – can instantly identify risky areas and take corrective action before unexpected failure occurs.

Now more than ever, power facilities must implement solid temperature monitoring solutions that can help to identify possible equipment failures, keep repair and replacement costs under control, ensure power is supplied to the grid without interruption, and more.
