Specialists of Saratov Distribution Grids, a branch of IDGC of Volga, PJSC (a member of Rosseti Group of Companies) continue to implement a program for remote monitoring of power equipment in order to capture the most up-to-date information related to its operating condition in near-real time.
At the moment, specialists competed IR-diagnostics of 748 package transformer substations (6-10/0.4 kV) ànd 54 substations (35-110 kV). Using a special device operating in the ultraviolet spectrum range, specialists inspected technical condition of porcelain, glass and polymer suspension insulators on 789 poles of 110 kV overhead power transmission lines (OHL). The total length of inspected OHL sections is 150 kilometers.
Inspections of power equipment using infrared (IR) and ultraviolet (UV) techniques have proved effective. These techniques allow to evaluate technical condition of equipment online, without conducting planned outages and thus excluding any inconvenience to customers.
The findings allow to timely identify any non-compliances with applicable standards and regulations, efficient planning and repair activities.
