Due
to an accident an arc led to the complete destruction of the medium-voltage
system and thus to the standstill of the four connected wind farms. The error
occurred in the cable connection compartment of the feeder panel and could have
been prevented with the right sensors. The standstill of the four connected
wind farms resulted in a loss of turnover of around 500,000 euros per month.
Delivery
of an IoT-enabled medium-voltage NXPLUS C switchgear, including installation
and commissioning, as well as replacement of the double floor. In addition, the
IoT box was installed, configured and the NXpower Monitor application set up. Managed
services including on-call duty complete the package.
With
this comprehensive solution we do everything we can to maximize the availability
of the substation. Using the NXpower Monitor application, the customer can
continuously monitor the health status of the system. If there are anomalies in
the measurement data, the customer can contact our experts directly via the
on-call hotline. With this Siemens Xcelerator application unplanned shutdowns
can be converted into planned service calls in the future and the availability
of the substation is maximized.
