One platform. Three outcomes.

The same continuous view of the network answers three different questions.

What we believe

Replace cables on condition, not on age.

An installation year tells you how old a cable is. It does not tell you whether this one is failing and that one has fifteen years left.

Grid Reliability

Predictive maintenance

Stop managing faults. Start preventing them.

Partial discharge is the earliest signature of insulation breakdown detectable through monitoring. A developing defect registers as a trend weeks before it registers as an outage — and travelling-wave localisation places the fault to a span rather than a street, so crews dig once, in the right place.

01

Sense

Monitor partial discharge and cable condition across MV cables and joints, with data streaming around the clock.

02

Analyse

Live readings are compared against historical baselines and known failure signatures, so a developing defect is flagged early.

03

Locate and act

When a fault does occur, the location is narrowed so crews dig once rather than repeatedly.

Integrates with your existing SCADA, GIS and DMS via standard APIs and data feeds, so cable-health alerts arrive in the control-room and asset-management tools your team already uses.

Grid Renewal

Lifetime extension

Replace cables based on condition, not age.

Age is a proxy, and a poor one: two circuits commissioned the same year, in the same soil, can be a decade apart in remaining useful life. A health index built from monitoring data ranks the programme by condition instead, so spend moves to where the risk actually sits and every deferral carries an auditable justification.

01

Monitor

Continuous condition data builds a real-time health index for every monitored cable segment.

02

Prioritise

Assets are ranked by actual degradation risk rather than installation year, so capital goes where it is needed.

03

Report

Health trends and investment recommendations export in a form finance and regulators can audit.

Connects to your GIS and asset-management systems, so health scores and investment recommendations sit alongside the asset records your planning team already relies on.

Capacity increase

Unlock capacity already in your network.

A static rating is set for a worst case that occurs a handful of hours a year — hottest soil, driest conditions, full load. Real-time thermal rating returns the capacity genuinely available for the other thousands of hours, with alarming to keep the circuit inside its envelope. Connection queues shorten without a spade going in the ground.

01

Monitor

Real-time thermal monitoring tracks actual cable temperature and ambient conditions instead of static assumptions.

02

Calculate

Safe dynamic ratings are recalculated continuously and compared against the static rating on file.

03

Release

The additional validated capacity is released to planning and connection teams through your existing systems.

Feeds real-time ratings into your DMS and SCADA via standard APIs, so dynamic capacity is available wherever your operators and planners already make connection and dispatch decisions.
