Case study: OrxaGrid Optimises Solar Plant Efficiency with its Grid Analytics Platform

A 5 MW solar power plant in Western India faced monitoring challenges, lacking real-time data for key components. Partnering with OrxaGrid, the plant utilized an advanced Grid Analytics Platform (GAP) to enhance efficiency through real-time data monitoring. This collaboration improved operational efficiency, reduced downtime, and optimized energy production and asset management.

Partial Discharge Testing: Need, Testing Methodologies and Addressing Defects

Studies show that over 85% of disruptive failures in high voltage (HV) and medium voltage (MV) equipment are Partial Discharge related. Partial Discharge (PD) activity provides evidence  of deterioration in assets, which can propagate and increase, until the insulation is no longer able to withstand the electrical stress therefore leading to flash-over and finally equipment failure. Therefore, early detection …
