Substation Temperature Monitor

The Project

ASH’s collaboration with PPA Energy came about due to our shared desire to utilise technological advances to reduce valuable energy and time lost in maintaining the UK’s ageing power network. The project concerned developing a substation transformer temperature monitoring device, and backend system, for use in identifying opportunities in smart load switching. The solution required both companies to harness their significant power management, sensing and remote monitoring expertise to develop a robust and reliable solution to monitor load switching.
