MISSION
Predict failures. Prevent outages. Protect Lives.
Distribution circuits consist of many components, all of which have a finite service life. When these components fail they create outages, wildfires, and safety hazards. Many common component failures produce distinct electrical signatures detectable with the right equipment at the substation. Utilizing decades of innovation and more than 4,000 circuit-years of data, DFA technology delivers industry-leading capability that enables you to detect and fix underlying circuit issues before they cause an outage.
Make Power System Data Actionable
Raw streaming or recorded data alone is not enough. In a two year field study, standard tools recorded 178 faults on one circuit. However, they did not recognize that 44 of those faults were precursors arising from a single cause at a single location. This cause ultimately resulted in a burned down distribution line. DFA analytics continuously monitor high-fidelity waveforms from the CTs and PTs you already own, automatically recognizing the signatures of failing apparatus. The result: you get a clear, actionable, specific alert without having to sift through gigabytes of data.
Technical Benefits
See Failures Before They Happen
Detect and repair failing equipment before it causes an outage, replacing hours of unplanned downtime with brief, scheduled maintenance that maintains system uptime and reliability.
No New Sensors Required
Use PTs and CTs you already have in your substation.
Answers, Not Data
In-substation algorithms automatically convert high-fidelity waveforms into specific, actionable reports and alerts.
