real-time monitoring
eSensor
Ultility grade power quality monitoring
The eSensor is a low cost, high quality transformer status monitoring module, supporting both single and 3 phase installations
Data management
With a wide voltage input range of 100 525 VAC, real time visualisation of power quality data and theft detection
Preventative maintenance
High power quality and temperature monitoring enables preventive maintenance
Impacts of no visability
No monitoring
No real-time monitoring of transformers
Reactive maintenance
which leads to long customer outage periods
High carbon emissions
No visibility means greater carbon emissions
The problem
Responding to the evolving energy landscape
Energy Networks lack visibility of the low-voltage grid, which is under increasing pressure from new technologies like solar and wind. Without visibility, Networks struggle to manage power supply and maintain reliability.
Common network issues
Predictive maintenance
In 2013 Pepco prevented a critical transformer failure worth $3 million and prevented a $4 million new transformer purchase with monitoring
Customer complaints
Energex & Ergon pay $2,200 per complaint investigation.
Annual cost of $2.2 million (2016)
Power outage
SA Power Network expects to pay ~20 million to households who lost power for more than 12 hours
Theft prevention
QLD government estimated power theft at a cost of $30 million per year
Data to network, DER integration and smart grid realisation
Network emergency repairs cost ~$20,000
Fewer outages
Average ROI on predictive maintenance monitoring equipment is ~ 9 -15 mths
Emissions reduction
Locating leakage locations on the grid can eliminate 50+ million metric tons of CO2 emissions annually
Shorter outages
Toronto Hydro saved 100,000 outage minutes by implementing, monitoring and identifying 12 overloaded transformers
