Electrical Utilities
As global power demand surges and grids face the challenges of aging infrastructure and overload, ensuring an uninterrupted electricity supply has never been more critical. At OFIL Systems, we are dedicated to transforming the landscape of electrical utilities by offering comprehensive solutions that enhance the continuity, reliability, and efficiency of your electrical assets.
Power Generation
Power generation facilities are vital for delivering electricity to millions and rely on a complex network of components. The complexity of these systems presents significant challenges in ensuring both safety and reliability.
Generation Switchyard
Corona PD is a common issue in generation power plant switchyards, often caused by aging components, defects, improper installation, or contamination. If left undetected, PD can lead to failures, equipment damage, and costly unplanned outages.
OFIL’s UV cameras play a critical role in identifying corona PD at an early stage in key switchyard components such as transformer bushings, insulators, and conductors. Detecting these issues early allows utilities to implement predictive maintenance strategies that reduce outages, enhance safety, and support the reliable operation of power generation sites.
By using Gridnostic, utilities can centralize inspection data – whether from UV, thermal, or visual cameras, quantify fault severity, and make informed maintenance decisions that extend asset life and improve operational efficiency.
Electrical Generators
Early detection of partial discharge in electrical generators is vital, especially in stator windings where insulation breakdown can lead to severe failures. Using UV inspection to identify external PD helps uncover early signs of winding degradation, enabling timely maintenance that prevents costly downtime and extends the life of critical generation equipment.
