Introduction:
This project aims to develop an integrated solution to locate and characterise faults, based on waveform analysis and information provided by other sensors installed on the LV overhead network.
Objectives:
The objectives are:
To help identify the section containing the fault
To detect weak points on the network by long-term waveform analysis, and so optimise maintenance and/or investments
Predict and accurately locate a potential fault on the system before it occurs
Introduce innovative monitoring and testing equipment that can pinpoint a fault.
