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.
Substations
Substations are key points in the power grid, converting voltage levels for safe and efficient distribution. Components like transformers, circuit breakers, insulators, capacitors, switchgear and conductors are prone to corona PD, often caused by aging, contamination, or installation issues. If not repaired, PD related issues can lead to failures and costly outages.
OFIL’s UV cameras enable early detection of corona PD through both handheld inspections and continuous monitoring solutions tailored for substations. This helps reduce downtime, lower repair costs, and maintain grid reliability.
By using Gridnostic in substations, utilities can centralize inspection data from UV, thermal, and visual cameras across all critical assets. The platform helps teams prioritize repairs, improve maintenance planning, and ensure safe, reliable substation performance.
Switchgear
In switchgear systems, weak points for corona PD activity commonly include cable insulation, terminations, and electrical connections. These areas are particularly susceptible to degradation and partial discharge due to tight spacing, sharp geometries, and elevated electrical stress. OFIL’s UV cameras provide a reliable, non-invasive method for detecting early-stage corona PD in these critical components – supporting safer operations, reducing downtime risk, and enabling predictive maintenance without interrupting service.
