Circuit breakers are of critical importance on a wind farm, protecting assets and minimising the impact of faults. A circuit breaker that is slow or fails to trip, can lead to severe damage to the electricity network by allowing high fault currents to persist. This can pose significant safety risks to both staff and the public. Find out how you can enhance your wind farm’s reliability and protect these vital assets with first trip profiling using Kelvatek’s PROFILE P3.

Late last year, some of the Kelvatek team visited various #LineSIGHT installations sites in the Lake District supporting the energy network across the north west of England. LineSIGHT can help detect, localise, and automatically isolate overhead distribution network faults which is of critical importance during storm conditions. As well as accurately locating (and predicting) faults, the system can identify other major outage issues such as downed lines and low-hanging conductors. LineSIGHT reduces safety implications for the public and repair teams and helps prevent CIs and CMLs caused by outages.

When implementing a transformer monitoring solution, it is important to consider the economic implications of adopting this technology. Online transformer monitoring emerges as a cost-effective solution, particularly when considering the potential revenue loss associated with high-value transformer failure. #Renewables #TransformerMonitoring #Kelvatek #Technology #Innovation

Ventus Energy and Kelvatek are working in partnership to enhance wind farm reliability through innovative circuit breaker testing. Using Kelvatek’s Profile P3 solution, the team at Ventus is successfully identifying circuit breakers that are outside performance parameters as part of an effective maintenance program for offshore wind farm projects. This ground breaking approach allows them to proactively identify potential defects in circuit breakers during planned outages. By doing so, they can ensure that the circuit breakers operate flawlessly when needed, minimising the risk of costly downtime and safeguarding the integrity of their wind energy networks. This partnership exemplifies our commitment to innovation and excellence in the renewable energy sector. To learn more, read the full case study here: https://lnkd.in/ewxeEf2D

Demand on the grid is growing dramatically with forecast is set to double by 2050 as heat, transport, and industry continue to electrify. National Grid has predicted that electricity consumption from commercial data centres alone will increase six-fold in the next ten years. The current electrical infrastructure is already constrained and struggling to meet the demand of today. How can Network Operators unlock extra capacity on the network? Firstly, its vital to monitor the network to identify developing load issues caused by increasing numbers of LCTs. This enables network operators to plan and undertake the most effective form of remedial action. Another option is to invest in smart LV automation technology which allows the redirection of power demand from one cable to another during peak usage times. This helps balance power usage by dynamically shifting power demand from one cable to another when needed. #Energy #GridDemand #Electrification #DataCenters #GridMonitoring #SustainableFuture #SmartGrid

Investing in monitoring equipment is crucial, but let's not overlook the critical importance of installation. Before a monitor can add any value to the LV network, it must be installed correctly and safely. With hundreds of thousands of monitors planned for deployment in the next 5-10 years, how do operators plan on ensuring installation is carried out correctly alongside a vast number of daily network management tasks and urgent responses to faults? In the current labour market, there are real challenges in resourcing installation teams, resulting in high quantities of monitors being left on shelves, rather than creating value on the network.

Lifting the moratorium on onshore wind in England has the potential to boost energy security, reduce electricity bills, and accelerate the path to net-zero. Onshore wind is cost-effective, with projected economic benefits of £45 billion and 27,000 new jobs by 2030. Streamlined approval processes will enable faster development of renewable infrastructure, cutting carbon emissions more efficiently. This shift supports both environmental goals and economic growth, providing a sustainable and affordable energy future for the UK.    We are supporting the renewables sector with our #TOTUS total transformer monitoring solution and predictive maintenance services protecting windfarms from costly failures and reducing operational costs.    To find out more visit our renewables page: https://lnkd.in/eKzzXuM5 #RenewableUK #Onshore #WindEnergy #NetZero

In the dynamic and rapidly evolving renewable energy industry, wind farms stand out as the biggest drivers of clean energy. The efficiency, reliability, and longevity of these installations hinge on effective asset management, a task that has been revolutionised by advancements in online monitoring technologies. Our latest blog delves into the substantial benefits of integrating online monitoring systems, including how these cutting-edge technologies can optimise performance, reduce downtime, and enhance the overall lifespan of wind farm transformer assets. #Renewables #AssetManagement #WindEnergy #TransformerMonitoring

Currently being deployed in its thousands across the UK electricity network, PRESense is enabling the proactive management of LV networks. As well as delivering on the long-term benefits for load management and asset health, #PRESense predicts the time, type and location of faults before they occur, and customers are impacted. This allows for the prioritisation of repair activities or the deployment of fault management devices.
