Critical Infrastructure Health & Performance

Substation condition monitoring systems are essential for maintaining the health and performance of critical infrastructure. By continuously collecting and analyzing data from various assets, these systems provide actionable insights that help in early fault detection, maintenance planning, and risk management.

Asset-Specific Diagnostics & Trending

Configurable dashboards support condition-based insights for each asset class, including dissolved gas trending for transformers and operational profiling for breakers.

Transformers

Monitoring of temperature, dissolved gas analysis (DGA), moisture levels, and load tap changer performance.

Circuit Breakers

Assessment of operating times, SF₆ gas density, and mechanical wear indicators.

Instrument Transformers & Bushings

Partial discharge detection and insulation condition evaluation.

Auxiliary Systems

Monitoring of battery health, cooling systems, and other support equipment.

Grid-Wide Performance Correlation

Link asset performance to system-level data to uncover cause-effect relationships and optimise network reliability and resilience strategies.

Scalable for Multi-Site Deployments

From single substations to utility-wide rollouts, SmartSUB supports enterprise scalability with centralised configuration, data federation, and secure access controls.
