Evolution of Interacting Digital Twins for High Voltage Switchgear Monitoring

Implementing asset monitoring in electrical substations is essential for ensuring the reliability, safety, and efficiency of power systems. By continuously tracking the condition and performance of critical components, such as high voltage switchgear, asset monitoring enables early detection of faults, wear, or degradation. This proactive approach helps minimizing unplanned outages, reducing maintenance costs through condition-based servicing, and can be utilized to extend the lifespan of expensive infrastructure. In an era of increasing demand and regulatory pressure, asset monitoring is a strategic investment for substation operators.
