Our PD continuous monitoring solution connects to sensors for PD, temperature, humidity, and more. It filters data automatically to detect minor defects without manual adjustments.
‍
Data is sent to a central server for analysis by our software, which provides alerts detailing defect type, location, and criticality. These alerts integrate easily into SCADA systems.
Connects to any sensor
Automatic defect detection
No manual adjustments
Comprehensive analysis

SmartVisor - PD continuous monitoring sensor

SmartVisor is a partial discharge (PD) monitoring system that detects insulation defects early to prevent failures in high-voltage installations.

SmartVisor goes beyond PD monitoring by also measuring temperature, humidity, pressure and faults.

PDEye - PD continuous monitoring software

PD Eye is a smart platform that monitors partial discharge (PD) activity in grid assets.
‍
It uses artificial intelligence to detect problems, send real-time warnings, and suggest actions to prevent equipment failures and improve grid efficiency.

This technical webinar explores the differences between partial discharge spot testing and continuous monitoring for high-voltage electrical assets. The session provided a comprehensive overview of how each approach supports asset reliability, risk mitigation, and operational planning.
‍
Spot monitoring involves periodic testing, ideal for capturing a snapshot of asset health and is often used for commissioning or troubleshooting.
‍
Continuous monitoring, on the other hand, delivers real-time data and early warnings of insulation degradation or partial discharge activity. This approach enables predictive maintenance and reduces the risk of unexpected failures.
‍
The webinar also introduced Ampacimon’s AI-based diagnostic platforms and presents real-world case studies to illustrate how utilities are applying these technologies to HV cables, substations, and rotating machines.

Use Cases

Partial Discharge Monitoring success stories

Enhancing Power Grid Transfer Capacity

Dynamic line rating as a service to renovate its static ratings. Overhead lines of the Danish transmission grid need to increase transfer capacity to relieve constraints.
ppl Logo

The first U.S. electric utility to integrate dynamic line ratings into real-time and market operations

PPL Electric became the first U.S. utility to integrate dynamic line ratings into real-time and market operations, optimizing transmission line performance, reducing congestion costs, and keeping customer rates low.

Grid Integration of Renewables

A large European system operator must connect 9 MW of new wind power on its 63 kV grid.

Summer/Winter Load Peak Management

The French Alps sky resort “La Clusaz” is fed by a single 150-kV line. In the winter season, load increases dramatically, while it is very low in summer.

Maintenance Optimization

Optimizing existing lines during scheduled maintenance. A critical 220 kV line must be consigned for several months for scheduled maintenance.

Partial Discharge (PD) technology reveals insulation problems, emitting a sustained level of electrical activity prior to an accident.

Monitoring PD is an effective way to detect manufacturing or installation defects, gradual breakdown due to natural aging, external anomalies and exposure to heat cycles and exposure to aggression and stress.
