Curbing energy waste

In developing markets, where resources are often limited, optimising transmission systems can lead to substantial energy savings, reduced operational costs, and increased productivity. Improved transmission efficiency directly contributes to the competitiveness of industries, attracting investments and fostering local innovation. Additionally, it aligns with the imperative of environmental conservation by curbing energy waste and lowering emissions.

This research not only accelerates industrial progress in developing economies but also aids in building resilient and eco-friendly infrastructures that promote long-term prosperity.

Transformer oil surveillance

The research delves into the critical role of transformer oil in maintaining the functionality and safety of transformers. Transformer oil serves a dual purpose of cooling and insulation, making its quality paramount for the transformer's operational integrity. Even a slight deviation in the oil's condition can have detrimental effects on the transformer's performance and potentially lead to accidents. Ensuring constant surveillance of the transformer oil's health is essential to avert potential disasters.

Capacitive sensor

The report meticulously examines established techniques for assessing transformer oil health, which often involve combining various sensor types like pressure, temperature, and moisture sensors. These methods, while effective, are marred by their high costs and limited availability in certain regions. The study involves a detailed analysis of commonly used sensors and their cost-efficient alternatives. A novel solution is proposed, involving a capacitive sensor that gauges impurities by detecting changes in capacitance and dielectric constant.

Better reliability

In pursuit of an economical and accessible monitoring solution, the research introduces a capacitive sensor-based approach for evaluating transformer oil health. This sensor's performance is rigorously tested in both controlled and uncontrolled environments to gauge its effectiveness. By comparing the results obtained from these scenarios, the study sheds light on the viability of the proposed capacitive sensor. Given the critical importance of monitoring transformer health, this research holds promise in offering a more cost-effective and widely applicable solution, potentially contributing to enhanced transformer maintenance and reliability.
