A Slovenian company has a 20-year tradition working as a provider of products for maintenance, renewal and set up of electro-energy systems. The company started as a small family business but is now growing fast and has become an important player in the branch. Their most important products are low and medium voltage surge arresters and medium voltage insulators. Most products contain their own built-in innovative patented solutions. Electricity distribution companies from more than 40 countries worldwide already cooperate with the company.
A company developed an innovative smart device for remote monitoring and advanced analysis of power grids. It offers machine learning as well as communication via all modern communication networks. If attached to a gapless surge arrester with a continuous operating voltage above 1 kV the device can measure the resistive component of the leakage current. This innovative method of extracting the resistive component of the leakage current conforms to the standard IEC 60099-5. With the use of the device power grids become smart, which improves the operating process, the reliability and stability of electricity transmission and distribution networks.
The end customer (electricity transmission system operator, electricity distributor) can pick between different versions of device which are all capable of machine learning. Through collecting a broad array of anomalies in the power networks the company has built its machine learning database. By identifying the anomalies they can make corrections to optimize and improve the working of the power grid thus lowering the carbon foot print of the produced electricity as well as stabilizing the network.
The company wants to boost its sales and is therefore interested in cooperation with experienced distributors. Envisioned form of cooperation will be distribution services agreement, where the company will provide products while partner will take care of distribution in their respective markets.
Advantages & innovations
Advantages of the product are:
• Remote monitoring and advanced analysis of electricity transmission and distribution networks
• Measuring resistive component of leakage current of surge arrester, which indicates how much electricity was lost in power grid
• Surge counter, measuring ambient temperature and device temperature
• Monitoring collapse or tilt of pole/tower, micro location, navigation to location
• Instant indication of critical information
• Autonomous operating
• Machine learning based on collected information
• Installation is possible on existing and new gapless surge arresters
• Simple installation, without communication costs, low price
All the above features are joined in one innovative device, which is currently unique on the market.
Stage of development
Already on the market
Partner sought
The company seeks distributors specialized in distribution of electronics to electricity transmission system operators and electricity distribution companies. The potential partner should be already operating on the market and possess a wide range of clients.
