Artificial Intelligence for Monitoring Switching Operations in Power Grids

​Artificial intelligence for monitoring switching operations in power grids

In an innovation project with ​ Austrian Power Grid sensors are used that detect the switching process of disconnectors in transformer stations or in the electricity grid, analyse it and report back to the control systems whether the process was carried out as planned.

By the way, disconnectors are moving parts in tranformer stations that are moved by means of a motor in order to separate the flow of electriciity into different areas. 

The video on the left shows a disconnector test.
