System outcome highlights

1.- At installation process

Earthing loop verification: Evaluation of noise level present in the ground conductor
Incorrect connection/non connection to ground system Identification of hazardous situations
Improper connections with other grounded elements Excessive leakage currents (insulation faults)
Presence of phase-neutral imbalances

2.- In Operation

Real-time determination of earthing system values

Evaluation of continuity of individual earth grids and MV cable screen
Continuous monitorization of additional sensors in order to remotely monitor different parameters
Portal customization to manage all the generated information, historical data, statistic analysis, etc..

3.- Predictive indicators

Evaluation of current ground flow related with abnormal electrical activity in the facility (degradation of wind generators and MV cables isolation and transformers, arresters,
switchgears in park substation)
Monitoring of earthing system corrosion level
Establishment of an alert system linked to different and customizable criteria
