Light-speed power system protection and monitoring
The energy transition is challenging the power industry to accommodate new paradigms of flexible supply and demand, without reducing reliability or increasing costs. Scaling up real-time visibility and control is needed to manage this change reliably and economically, and this requires a new approach to power system instrumentation.
At Synaptec, we have responded to this challenge by developing our Distributed Electrical Sensing (DES) technology, a completely passive solution that requires no control power, data networks or expensive civil works at the point of measurement, which can be interrogated over long distances, and is highly secure.
This enables affordable, resilient, and granular instrumentation of remote, hard-to-reach circuits and assets, providing a powerful platform for wide-area synchronous measurements throughout power networks.
Sectors we support
Power grids
We offer advanced instrumentation solutions to our customers, enabling digital substations, grid protection and control, and automated condition monitoring.
Renewables
We provide automated condition monitoring of critical generation assets to reduce outages, maximise availability, and improve safety.
Industrial
Our technology enables condition-based maintenance of complex and remote electrical infrastructure in private power networks such as railways.
