Proactive Monitoring Prevents Catastrophic Transformer Failures
H2scan’s GRIDSCAN® 5000 and 6000 series provide utilities with affordable, maintenance-free solutions for continuous transformer monitoring. Unlike traditional methodologies that are cost-effective for a select few transformers, our technology enables comprehensive fleet management by offering cost-effective 24/7 continuous monitoring. This enhanced visibility helps utilities prevent unexpected failures, optimize maintenance schedules and extend the lifespans of their transformer fleets.
H2scan’s HY-VAULT™ is an advanced transformer monitoring solution designed to enhance the safety and reliability of underground and above-ground network transformers. This innovative technology enables continuous monitoring, which is more effective than the traditional approach of periodic manual sampling, as it is operationally and logistically challenging. The HY-VAULT enables power utilities to make more informed, data-driven maintenance decisions, thereby improving operational safety and reliability of their assets.
Specialized Solutions for Renewable Energy
Renewable energy installations subject transformers to extreme conditions, with power fluctuations and severe harmonics causing excessive heating that can drastically reduce operational life. Just a 6°C temperature increase can cut a transformer’s lifespan in half.
Our GRIDSCAN® systems, equipped with Sentinel™ PRO technology, precisely detect transformer stress and identify harmonic distortion using continuous monitoring. By providing clear, actionable insights into transformer health, H2scan empowers operators to take immediate preventive action, maintaining transformer integrity in challenging renewable energy applications.
Comprehensive Monitoring Across Applications
H2scan’s transformer monitoring solutions adapt to diverse operational environments, from traditional utilities to proven renewable installations. Our technology transcends traditional periodic testing constraints by delivering advanced continuous monitoring capabilities, positioning facilities at the forefront of industrial safety and operational efficiency.
