-- Innovations in Electrical Maintenance Unveiled at IEEE PES T&D Exhibition
The IEEE PES T&D (Power & Energy Society Transmission & Distribution) exhibition, held from May 7-9, once again established itself as the premier event for the global transmission and distribution industry. Bringing together industry leaders and innovators, this event serves as a vital platform for showcasing the latest advancements in technology and fostering crucial connections.
Critical Advances in Corona Detection
At the forefront of discussions at this year's exhibition was the critical issue of corona discharge detection. Corona discharge, a partial electrical breakdown caused by the ionization of air around conductors and insulators, poses significant risks to the reliability and longevity of electrical infrastructure. This phenomenon generates corrosive substances such as ozone and nitrogen oxides, which can deteriorate high-voltage lines and substation components, damage insulators, cause radio interference, and produce audible noise. Addressing corona partial discharges is essential to ensuring the stability and efficiency of power systems, especially as global power demands continue to rise and infrastructure ages.
Cutting-Edge Detection Technology
The latest innovations in corona detection technology were prominently featured at the exhibition. State-of-the-art inspection devices, which visualize solar-blind ultraviolet (UV) signals, are now able to detect corona discharge and arcing on high-voltage equipment in real time. These non-destructive remote sensing devices utilize ultraviolet light, absorbed by the ozone layer, to confirm that detected signals originate from terrestrial sources. Advanced bi-spectral UV-Visible cameras, equipped with sophisticated filtering capabilities, can detect even weak UV signals in full daylight, representing a significant leap forward in corona camera technology.
Introducing PRISM: Transforming Field Inspection
Among the standout innovations introduced was PRISM, a cutting-edge software designed to revolutionize field inspection processes. Leveraging extensive industry expertise, PRISM provides electrical utilities and service companies with intelligent data analysis, streamlined diagnostics, process simplification, and actionable insights. This software enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of maintenance operations, offering a comprehensive solution that works in tandem with infrared thermography and ultrasonic devices. By pinpointing corona discharge and arcing, identifying potential failure points, and assessing the severity of detected issues, PRISM is set to transform predictive maintenance practices.
OFIL Systems: Leading the Charge in Innovation
OFIL Systems, a leading innovator in the electricity sector, showcased its groundbreaking technologies at the IEEE PES T&D exhibition. With three decades of experience, OFIL has consistently pushed the boundaries of solar-blind ultraviolet (UV) technology, playing a pivotal role in revolutionizing predictive maintenance. The company’s advanced electro-optical sensors and the newly unveiled PRISM software were among the highlights of the exhibition, reinforcing OFIL’s position as a pioneer dedicated to enhancing the reliability and longevity of electrical assets worldwide.
