Global design & supply of Bandweaver Power Cable Monitoring Systems, for Smart Energy Grid Protection.
Global Power Cable Monitoring
Bandweaver Power Cable Monitoring & Detection
When used alongside proactive maintenance, the Bandweaver Power Cable Monitoring Systems and Intelligent Software provide you with the right information at the right time, including detection of power cable intrusion, tampering with overhead lines, and third-party intrusion into buried cables. This helps you reduce planned and unplanned maintenance, avoid catastrophic failure, and effectively manage your risk.
From our warehouse in the Southwest of England, we are ready to serve the UK and internationally, including Europe, the Middle East, Latin America, South Pacific Asia, Africa, and India.
Smart Energy Grid & Power Cable Protection
Thanks to our extensive range of Fibre Optic Sensors and Integrated Real Time Thermal Rating Software (RTTR), which has developed in accordance with CIGRE and IEC60287, your system can be tailored to meet your specific needs, providing you with intelligent insights. With greater visibility into your power cable system, you can improve situational awareness, increase compliance, reduce the risk of fines, and lower insurance premiums.
By maximising your component lifetime and preventing unnecessary maintenance, you can achieve a higher return on investment and delay capital spending. Plus, by utilising existing telecoms infrastructure for sensing elements, you reduce overall deployment costs for a cost-effective solution.
With monitoring and alarms at all points on the grid, you reduce the risk of malicious or accidental Third-Party Intrusion (TPI) at associated perimeters, entry, and access points. Providing precise, real-time, and actionable information enables rapid, focused decision-making to improve your management of grid assets.
Advanced Fibre Optic Sensing Solutions for Power Cables & Substations
Within your utility and substation, Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) and Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) Systems provide efficient condition monitoring and protection for Gas-Insulated Switchgear (GIS), transformers, busbar hotspots, cable trays, and ducts. For overhead power lines, DAS uses existing fibre-optic cables to detect tampering, preventing theft and sabotage across transmission and distribution networks, including cables and structural elements.
For underground cables, DTS provides complete thermal profiling, accurately locating hot spots, faults, and potential failure causes. The RTTR system precisely models the thermal environment and cable conductor, for safe capacity management. DAS prevents Third-Party Interference, malicious tampering, and accidental construction damage, while monitoring and evaluating partial discharge and other vibration conditions.
For offshore subsea power cables, DAS monitors spare fibre-optic cores, providing span monitoring, location, and mitigation; vessel and anchor drag detection; monitoring and detection of partial discharge, sea-floor debris, and other hazards; and cable movement tracking on the sea floor.
