Effective Shortening of Power Outages

Storms and severe weather phenomena are major threats to our energy systems, causing a significant part of power outages. Additionally, improperly installed accessories contribute to these disruptions. As electricity distribution standards rise, stricter requirements are being placed on distribution system operators to ensure supply security and network reliability. Along with increasing electricity prices, end users are demanding greater reliability and value for their money.

Investing in smart technologies like automatic fault detection and switching solutions, can significantly reduce power outages and related damage and thus improve network quality. These solutions help operators to rapidly locate, isolate faults and restore power to both underground cables and overhead lines. Minimizing outage duration and scope is crucial for public safety, economic stability, societal well-being, and environmental sustainability worldwide. 

Ensto has a wide range of solutions with which we can shorten outages and prevent damages in the electricity network. Check out some of our solutions.

Our Solutions

Underground Cable Accessories

Power outages can be minimized by installing the electricity line underground, where cables are naturally safe from the weather. When cables are installed correctly with high-quality accessories, the risk of power outages is even lower. Our accessories for underground cables are engineered with robust design and comprehensive testing to ensure the long-term reliability of distribution networks.

Fault Detection

Our advanced fault detection solution does not leave any fault in the distribution networks unnoticed. The solution detects with superior accuracy even the most challenging faults in the electricity distribution network, such as high-impedance and intermittent earth faults. The unique algorithm analyzes changes to phase currents during an earth fault, which enables the detection of faults with a fault current as low as 0.5 A. The algorithm also makes fault detection solution applicable to any type of cable or overhead line distribution network.
