Megger's intelligent monitoring systems transform critical energy infrastructure management

In the modern energy industry, sustainability, efficiency and safety of the infrastructure are paramount. "As a pioneer in this field, with over 130 years of history in the design and implementation of electrical solutions, Megger builds its monitoring portfolio on three technology pillars that operate in a single interconnected ecosystem. This architecture provides a comprehensive assessment of the technical condition of assets, encompassing partial discharge detection, network analysis and online chromatographic analysis of dissolved gases," the company informed BalkanEngineer.com.

Megger holds a proven authority in this field, with over 1,000 integrated systems and more than 30,000 monitoring sensors for partial discharges, in constant operation on a global scale. Their engineering solutions have the official approval of leading original equipment manufacturers (OEM) and large electrical companies. The primary advantage of their equipment is their highest possible measurement sensitivity, which guarantees exceptional visibility for partial discharge in the early stages.

Megger’s technological portfolio covers specialized systems for different applications. Regarding Gas-Insulated Switchgears (GIS), central architecture is applied, which reduces the complexity of the wiring and reduces installation costs.  For power transformers, a measurement circuit with an extremely high signal-to-noise ratio has been developed, ensuring precise localization of the discharge source. “Rotating electrical machines are monitored by systems with full visibility of partial discharges in the stator windings,” Megger added.

The technological solution Megger Grid Analytics (MGA) offers network operators the ability to see processes in real time, increasing exploitation sustainability of the network and reducing the time required to bring power back.
