Machine learning algorithms are constantly processing the data to detect and classify objects so unnecessary alarms can be avoided.

Mississauga, ON - Systems With Intelligence, (SWI), has announced a partnership with Util-Assist to provide a complete, turn-key, monitoring and security response service for electric power utilities. One of the many challenges utilities have is securing their remote sites and equipment. With their skilled workers already at capacity and consistently shrinking budgets, utilities will often choose to channel their resources to perform more urgent maintenance tasks over monitoring their remote sites and assets. Preventing unauthorized access to these sites increases the safety of workers and the public while decreasing utility costs due to theft, vandalism, and the resulting outages. Depending on location and other unique circumstances, utilities may not have the personnel or skill set to handle unauthorized access incidents which may lead to injuries and damage to the system.

Reliability of the assets in the HVDC converter hall is critical as they are the key active components of the system that perform the AC/DC voltage conversion. Due to the hazardous conditions inside the converter hall, manual inspections are not possible while the system is energized. This Application Note on automated HVDC Converter Hall monitoring explains how inspections can be done safely and more often without having to take an outage.
