Improving the Critical Electrical Infrastructure

To meet growing electricity demand, climate change, and cyber threats, electricity networks must be upgraded. Strengthening infrastructure with smart network technologies, which offer real-time monitoring, protection, and control, is critical.

Need to Modernize and Secure Electricity Networks

Electricity distribution networks are vital to modern society. With rising electricity demand, climate change, and increasing cyber threats, it is essential to upgrade electricity networks – especially aging overhead line networks – to maintain reliable and secure power supply. Strengthening infrastructure with smart network technologies, which offer real-time monitoring, protection, and control, is critical.

Distribution system operators play a crucial role in this effort, ensuring uninterrupted, high-quality electricity supply and secure data communication in all situations and locations.

Ensto has a wide range of solutions with which we can improve and strengthen critical infrastructure. Check out some of our solutions.

Our Solutions

Line and Cable Accessories

Full covered conductor solution

The high-quality, easy to install accessories for overhead lines and underground cables are the backbone of the robust, durable, and safe distribution network. These accessories connect, terminate, and protect the conductors and cables and prevent power losses. Wide range of accessories cover solutions for both low and medium voltage networks, designed to withstand even the demanding circumstances and environments all over the world and provide reliable performance for decades.

Switchgears, Protection Devices and Distribution Panelboards

Load break switch

Storms and severe weather phenomena pose a significant threat to our energy system. Medium voltage switchgears, low voltage protection devices and distribution panelboards enhance the quality and reliability of electricity distribution, ensuring continuous operation, secure communication, and minimized power outages in the electricity networks. Pole-mounted circuit breakers and fuse protection, IP2X factory assembled distribution panelboards improve performance metrics and significantly reduce maintenance costs.

Protection Relays, Arc Flash Protection and Fault Detection

Protection relays

Protection relays and arc flash protection solutions improve customers’ electrical infrastructure by incorporating critical features, such as advanced cyber-security elements, which are essential in today’s world. These solutions offer comprehensive functionality, with the flexibility to add additional I/O modules and expand communication capabilities as needed, ensuring robust and adaptable infrastructure.

An efficient and reliable electricity network requires advanced fault management. Our fault detection solution provides a superior capability to detect even the most challenging faults like high-impedance and intermittent earth faults.

Secondary and Primary Substations

Primary substation

Smart and compact secondary substations for medium-voltage networks and primary substations for high-voltage networks are essential for ensuring continuous power delivery. They form the foundation for a modern, smart power grid that also supports the needs of renewable energy and industry. These substations play a critical role in electricity distribution and transmission networks by efficiently transferring electricity.
