Transformer Fleet Monitoring

The challenge was to enable a centralized access to the distributed monitoring systems across multiple substations. An architecture, both hardware and software, was developed, that accomplishes this task. The architecture is highly modular so that the components of the system can be distributed and integrated into an overall system which is fully customizable to the end user requirements. During development one of the main considerations was to make the integration of already existing systems as seamless as possible. The result is a Fleet monitoring solution that centralizes access to the information from all connected monitoring systems while at the same time does not interfere with the work of dedicated monitoring systems at remote locations. This way the data can be presented directly to the right personnel. This paper will also discuss further goals and directions of development for transformer fleet monitoring.
