The study, assessment and proof of market potentials and economics of a new condition monitoring technology for Smart Grid applications

恶劣天气是包括英国在内的许多国家停电的主要原因，每年给经济造成数十亿英镑的损失。此外，由于可再生能源的发电依赖于天气条件，它受到不规则、间歇性和不可预测的环境的影响。因此，在面对天气条件时，提高电网的弹性和可靠性至关重要。该项目旨在研究、评估和证明基于气象数据的智能电网应用新开发的状态监测技术的商业可行性。该技术的独特之处在于其新颖的数据分析技术和相关的控制系统，考虑到区域气象数据和其他传统监测信号，根据天气条件控制电力系统运行，从而通过进行预测和有针对性的决策，并采用资产管理策略来提高关键部件的可用性，从而保护SG子系统和客户免受长时间停电的影响。

Severe weather is the major cause of power outages in many countries including the UK andcosts the economy billions of pounds a year. Moreover, since power production fromrenewables depends on weather conditions, it suffers from irregular, intermittence andunpredictable circumstances. Therefore, increasing the resilience and reliability of the grid inthe face of the weather conditions is vital. The project aims to study, assess and prove thecommercial feasibility of a newly developed Condition Monitoring technology for Smart Gridapplications based on meteorological data. The unique feature of this technology is its noveldata analysis technique and the associated control system in taking into account the regionalmeteorological data together with other conventional monitoring signals to control the powersystem operation in response to the weather conditions and hence protect the SG sub-systemsand customers from long outages by undertaking predictive and targeted decisions andemploying asset management strategies to increase availability of critical components.
