As the demand for electricity surges, utility substations are facing unprecedented pressure to handle higher loads than ever before. With aging infrastructure, the majority of power transformers exceeding 25 years in service, ensuring the reliability of substations is paramount to delivering uninterrupted power to customers.
However, maintaining these critical assets poses unique challenges. Many substations are located in remote areas, making inspections and issue detection arduous tasks. Approximately 20% of maintenance costs are attributed to travel to these remote substations, highlighting the need for innovative solutions to optimize operations.
