Solving Complex Feeder Protection Challenges and Reducing Wildfire Risks With Remote Measurements
Following on from the T&D World webinar, we are delighted to share with you our new white paper on 'Solving complex feeder protection challenges and reducing wildfire risks with remote measurements'. In this white paper, we propose a comprehensive and...
Advanced cable monitoring techniques
In the past two decades the power sector has steadily increased its investment in optical sensing technologies. At present, distributed fibre optic temperature sensing technologies are widely used by utilities to provide valuable operational ampacity data for...
A new approach to mixed circuit protection
Following a severe blizzard in 1888, Hugh Grant, the Mayor of New York, decided to start a global trend of undergrounding power cables to avoid storm damage. Today, global use of underground power cables in transmission and distribution ranges from 20% of the UK’s...
Distributed optical sensors reliability and lifetime performance
Synaptec’s distributed sensing platform consists of a compact interrogation device that passively and accurately measures values from up to 50 sensors measuring any combination of current, voltage, strain, vibration and temperature, using a single optical fibre over a...
Enabling digital substations through passive distributed sensor networks
As the drive towards a decarbonised, decentralised and digitalised energy industry continues, the industry is increasingly focused on digitalising a core element of every grid - the substation. But digitalising a substation is not without challenges. The initial high...
