What are the main failures? Group

Ø Increase of the temperature Ø Degradation of the insulation


ü Connection faults ü Superficial Partial discharge (PD)
ü Harmonic ü Internal PD
ü Overload ü Corona PD

Ø Continuous Rising of temperature on critical points AND Partial Discharges

WHY ASSETS MONITORING? Group

Technical constraints/ Technical weaknesses:


Ø Networks become more complex – renewables, fluctuating generation
Ø Bi-directional power/load flow
Ø More operations and stress on equipment: switching, overloads, harmonics
Ø The infrastructure is aging, impact of new conditions on equipment is unknown
Ø Environmental events are worsening (global warming)

Evolution of INDUSTRY good practices:


Ø Digitalization, INDUSTRY 4.0 or SMART GRID
Ø High availability and quality requests for the electricity supply (High risk of huge penalty
for Utilities and risk of financial losses for Industrial customer in case of breakdown)
Ø Higher requirements for security and safety

There are 5 to 10 arc flash explosions in electrical equipment every day in


the USA

SAW temperature sensors operation Group

WIRELESS & BATTERYLESS 1. The transceiver sends an electromagnetic


signal to the sensor (~ mono-static
RADAR).

2. The antenna of the sensor captures the


signal, IDT converts it into a Surface
Acoustic Wave and reflects these modified
signals back to the transceiver.

3. The transceiver computes, processes and


translates the signal into an exploitable
data: temperature from -25 to 150°C.

4. The data is sent to HMI or Cloud.

5. Alarms can be set of custom thresholds.

Partial Discharge Detection Group
1. Any PD event in the cubicle creates
RF radiations.
2. The antennas are used as probes for
UHF detection of these events.
3. Recording of base level during shut
down and reference level after
energize.
4. All types of PD are detected, on a
range from 300 MHz to 3GHz.
5. The transceiver computes the data
(de-noising algorithms, signal
processing) and calculates the PD
ratio (exploitable data based on
amplitude, occurrence and
repetition rate of the events).
6. The data is sent to HMI or Cloud for
trend analysis.
7. Alarms can be set of custom
thresholds.
