Transformer monitoring
CEKO’s passive optical sensing platform can be integrated into transformer and high-voltage equipment to measure closer to the physical processes of interest, while interrogation, processing and connectivity remain external.
What matters most
Conditions within transformers cannot always be represented fully by measurements outside the tank. Optical sensing provides a path to position the measurement point closer to the source as part of the equipment or monitoring-system design.
How the system works
The complete chain combines application-integrated sensing, optical signal transport and external interrogation in a field-ready monitoring architecture.
A passive optical sensing point is adapted and positioned according to the equipment design and measurement objective. The sensor can measure e.g. temperature, vibration, pressure or other relevant parameters depending on the specific application.
Optical fiber carries the information to a safer and more accessible readout location. Optical routing allows monitoring across distance of several kilometers.
SDAS Insight handles interrogation, processing and data delivery without moving conventional electronics into the transformer interior. The use of edge-computing minimizes communication bandwith usage and makes sure that only relevant information is passed on.
Deployment
SDAS Insight provides field-ready interrogation, processing and connectivity outside the transformer, turning optical signals into usable monitoring data.
What this means for customers
Measurements closer to internal behaviour can support continuous condition monitoring, long-term trend analysis and integration with transformer design and asset-management systems.
The system supports multiple monitoring capabilities, including:
