Needs and Product Solutions

POWER UTILITY T&D : INCREASING POWER GRID RELIABILITY

Expectations for reliable power are increasing daily. However, often times infrastructure is dependent on batteries to store energy and batteries by their very nature can be unreliable.

Solution

Battery management programs and systems, like Midtronics CELLGUARD Monitoring System and CELLTRON Battery Analyzers increase system reliability by keeping close watch on batteries.

POWER UTILITY T&D : IMPROVING MAINTENANCE EFFICIENCY

Switchgear maintenance is key to continued reliable operation, but this maintenance is periodic, leaving risk between checks and can also be expensive.

Solution

Midtronics offers systems and programs to reduce risk and time and capital spent on maintenance.

POWER UTILITY T&D : MONITORING OF DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS

With more extensive power distribution and increased demands on time, streamlined, centralized analysis is key to proper decision making with regard to maintenance and infrastructure..

Solution

A specialized, central battery asset management system can improve visibility of performance and enhance decision making, saving time and money.
