IoT in Power & Utilities – The Next Step

Transformers degrade and lose efficiency over time. This causes the amount of current going through it to increase which is expensive.

Another challenge is oil degradation which causes a build-up of gas inside the transformer. Large transformers could be fitted with IoT enabled gas sensors to detect build up. For the smaller transformers, we can look at the overall asset health by monitoring conditions such as temperature, current in and out, oil temperature and ambient temperature.

These IoT solutions will offer longer life, better power transfer and greater efficiency.
