Temperature monitoring system GRID-DETECT

The IR Substation Monitoring System GRID-DETECT uses infrared (IR) technology to monitor the temperature of substation components to secure the reliability of substation. Thermography cameras in combination with visible cameras and pan-tilt head observe the substation area and thus allow predictive maintenance. The temperature measurements are made fully automatically without the need of any manual interaction. The system GRID-DETECT automatically raises a warning and alarm if an adjustable temperature threshold is passed. This prevents dangerous substation component failures and saves the reliability of the entire substation. GRID-DETECT automatically tracks the temperature development of different substation elements. This allows reducing maintenance costs, failures and unplanned outage of substation. GRID-DETECT comes with highly reliable components in a flexible structure and thus, is easily adaptable to the different situations and operational modes in substations. System Features • Full automatic operation • Reliable alarm release at defined pre- and main alarm limits • Merging of IR- and VIS-image for better orientation • Temperature trend recording and analysis • Customized system alignment and adjustment • Parameterization, supervision, operation, display, evaluation and playback in the GRID-DETECT software • Decentralized monitoring of system status and measured values • Recall of all recorded data for comparison and optimisation • Easy to operate data presentation in the substation network • Remote access from Master Control Center
