The most critical nodes in the power grid
deserve continuous, intelligent monitoring.
Electrical substations are where the grid is most vulnerable. A single undetected transformer fault, failed bushing, or overheated connection can cascade into outages affecting millions of customers. Power Intelligence's persistent far-field thermography and patented analytics provide the early warning intelligence that periodic inspections simply cannot.
What's at stake in this environment
Transformer Health
Persistent radiometric thermal imaging of transformer bodies, bushings, cooling fins, and tank connections. Building thermal baselines that detect developing faults weeks before failure.
Buswork & Disconnects
Every bolted connection, bus section, and disconnect switch continuously monitored. Elevated resistance joints are detected as rising thermal signatures — long before they reach critical temperatures.
DGA Integration
The Neuron connects to dissolved gas analysis (DGA) monitors to correlate thermal data with oil gas readings — providing multi-variable fault confirmation that reduces false positives to near zero.
Physical Security
PowerShot ballistic detection protects your transformer assets from the growing threat of physical attack. Immediate alerts to law enforcement with precise impact location.
NERC CIP Compliance
Automated documentation of thermal monitoring data supports NERC CIP-014 physical security and reliability standards compliance — reducing audit preparation burden.
Alarm Prioritization
PowerIntel's Sigma Delta Tau algorithm filters environmental noise and prioritizes alerts by severity — so your operations center receives only actionable intelligence, not sensor noise.
Purpose-built monitoring for your environment
Power Intelligence's 30 years of expertise in utilities and U.S. Department of Defense environments means our solutions are engineered to meet the most demanding reliability requirements — including yours.
