Safegrid Intelligent Grid System

Continuous 24/7/365 grid monitoring
Works across all grid topologies and grounding methods

Intelligent Grid Monitoring that Enables Proactive Utilities

Safegrid provides intelligent, real‑time grid monitoring that allows utilities to locate faults instantly, predict failures before they happen, and prevent outages altogether.

Through a combination of non‑intrusive sensors and powerful cloud analytics, Safegrid gives full visibility across overhead lines and underground cables—helping grid operators move from reactive fault response to proactive grid management. The result is reduced outages, lower operational expenditure, increased safety, and higher network reliability.

What Is Intelligent Grid System®

The Intelligent Grid System® (IGS) is Safegrid’s end‑to‑end solution for real‑time monitoring of power networks, combining advanced sensors, cloud‑based analytics, and intuitive visualisation into a single, scalable platform that continuously monitors grid health, detects faults, and predicts failures before they impact network performance.

Application Overview

Safegrid’s Intelligent Grid System® is designed for electric transmission and distribution networks across virtually all voltage levels above 1 kV, with no technical upper limit.

It is used across:

  • Overhead lines (bare and covered)
  • Underground cable networks
  • Mixed networks (overhead + cable)
  • Rural, urban, and remote grids
  • Distribution and transmission systems

The solution is non‑intrusive, works with all grounding methods, and installs quickly without disrupting service. It scales from individual feeders to entire network fleets and integrates seamlessly with existing systems such as SCADA, DMS, and ADMS.

What We Solve For

Safegrid addresses the most persistent challenges faced by modern grid operators:

  • Long outage restoration times caused by poor fault visibility
  • High OPEX and truck rolls due to manual patrols and trial‑and‑error fault finding
  • Hidden asset degradation, including insulators, joints, and terminations
  • High‑impedance and intermittent faults that conventional FPIs miss
  • Wildfire and safety risks linked to vegetation, storms, and equipment failure
  • Increasing grid complexity driven by renewables, bidirectional power flows, and dynamic topologies

Safegrid detects, locates, and analyses grid events in real time—turning raw data into actionable intelligence before small issues become major outages.

Smart Fault Location® & Smart Fault Prediction®

For:
Outage management and predictive maintenance

What they do:
These software applications use high‑frequency data and advanced analytics to both locate faults instantly and predict failures before outages occur.

Key features & functions:

  • Fault location accuracy typically within ±100 metres
  • Detection of faults other systems cannot see (e.g. high‑impedance faults)
  • Partial discharge monitoring for insulators, joints, switchgear, and transformers
  • Predictive alerts enable planned maintenance instead of emergency response
  • Reduced SAIDI, SAIFI, and operational costs
