Sustainable maintenance of medium-voltage networks

Increase efficiency, minimise the risk of failure

Diagnostics Centre of Excellence | BAUR GmbH

Unplanned outages are expensive, and rigid maintenance cycles are inefficient. But modern medium-voltage networks require more – an intelligent maintenance concept. By using smart diagnostics technology and data-based planning, you can identify weak points early, extend the service life of your systems, and increase security of supply at the same time.

The 4 pillars of intelligent maintenance

Condition-based & risk-oriented maintenance

Instead of time-based maintenance intervals, the focus is on the actual condition of the system.
Continuous condition monitoring and precise diagnostics – such as partial discharge measurements or dissipation factor analyses – allow weak points to be identified at an early stage. This enables:

  • Precise maintenance measures

  • Fewer unnecessary interventions

  • Significant reduction in unplanned outages

Asset management throughout the life cycle

Professional asset management takes into account the age, operating conditions, and critical importance of individual network components. This allows maintenance intervals to be intelligently staggered and priorities to be set – with an optimal cost-benefit ratio.

Smart measurement technology for realistic condition analyses

High network utilisation requires precise diagnostics during ongoing operation.
Modern methods such as VLF measurements or online PD monitoring provide reliable data regarding the degree of ageing and the insulation condition. On this basis, you can make decisions founded on facts rather than estimates.

Increased efficiency through the use of data

Systematic data acquisition and analysis enable sound, long-term maintenance planning.
Trends become visible before problems occur:

  • Which cable segments are at risk?

  • Which components should be replaced soon?

  • How are ageing processes developing in the network?
