Beyond Go-Live: Key learnings from the data journey of dashboard solutions for enhanced SF6 monitoring

The digital monitoring solution for sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) in Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS) is a product driven by the common goal of reducing environmental impact of greenhouse gas leakages by the energy and utilities sector. The Norwegian TSO developed a centralized trend monitoring solution of SF6 pressure for GIS stations in 2022 where live time series data from pressure sensors were used and visualized in a web dashboard. The solution and background are presented [2]. The dashboard provides both historical and near real time insights, which allows for replacement of manual inspections using pen, paper and no online tools. Achieving the transition from technical go-live to sustained operational maturity requires a strategic focus on long term user adoption. The user adoption…
