Critical Asset Monitoring (CAM)

Critical Asset Monitoring (CAM), a fundamental operation with the approach of maintaining safety and reliability in the country’s Power Distribution Industry!!!

Power substations, goals and challenges

Generation, transmission and distribution of electricity is one of the main concerns of the managers in power industry and they have always tried to reduce generation costs and increase the quality of distribution and reliability by different and new methods.

Distribution quality depends on the correct operation of high holtage substations. Therefore, monitoring the substations to ensure their proper operation is inevitable. On the other hand, due to the increase in energy consumers, events including fires, power outages, human and economic losses have increased. Rising feeder temperatures, failures of breaker motors and theft (sabotage) are among the main reasons for these outages. Therefore, managing equipment of substations and controlling their performance and conditions is a basic need for the power distribution industry and ensures a safe and reliable power system.

Ensuring safety and reliability in Power Distribution Network with CAM (Critical Asset Monitoring)!!!

Data Pardaz Taratech Shargh Co. has put the design, manufacturing and commissioning of a monitoring system with the acronym CAM on its agenda. This implementation has been done on network-based and Internet of Things (IoT) platform.

On the other hand, due to the increase in cable theft and security cases for sabotage in important centers, access control and authentication has been installed in this system. monitoring the time of presence of authorized and unauthorized persons, prevention of damages to substation equipment and physical security of substations are among the most important features of CAM.
