Finland-based, Safegrid develops the “Intelligent Grid System” (IGS) solution, which helps utilities & grid operators locate, predict & prevent common grid fault-types – e.g. high & low impedance earth faults (EF), intermitted EF, short circuit faults, IO glitches, (re)connected load faults – through cloud-based monitoring & wireless sensors as follows:
“GridGuardian”: cloud-based monitoring system, which analyses all data from Grayfox & Grayhawk sensors (aka fault passage indicator devices - FPI) (see below). It can operated as a standalone system, with SCADA integration requires (of course, when necessary, deep integration into customers’ systems is available via flexible REST APIs)
“Grayfox”: FPI sensor specifically for underground cable networks. With these, one can check & locate faults like e.g. corroded insulators...
