Description

We are proud to announce the latest achievements in our ongoing partnership with SIG Services Industriels de Genève, where significant strides have been made in optimizing grid reliability and fault detection capabilities. The project, which covers 85 kilometers of distribution lines, involves the installation of 11 Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) to accurately monitor 6 MV feeders for a total of 85 substations. The main focus of this initiative is fault location, ensuring faster and more accurate identification of faults within the grid, which helps minimize downtime and enhance operational efficiency. The project also includes the setting up of automated email alerts and periodic reporting systems.

Impact & Result

Our innovative SynchroGuard cloud-based software offers advanced functionalities, such as automatic fault location and event detection, designed to enhance the grid’s reliability. This partnership is also paving the way for intermittent fault detection, a crucial aspect of maintaining a stable grid under challenging conditions.

Solution Spotlight

SynchroGuard is an innovative monitoring and automation solution for smart grids. Thanks to unique measurement devices and advanced data-processing algorithms, it provides to utility operators a real-time view of the grid status, enables safe integration of renewable energies and electric vehicles by efficiently managing power flows, and improves grid reliability by accurately locating electrical faults. The goal is to support electrical utilities in the power grid modernisation and digitisation that is mainly driven by increasing power generation from renewables energies and electric vehicles as well as stringent regulatory requirements.
