Cable Condition Monitoring System – KSA
- Challenge
- Incipient faults in HV and MV power cables remain invisible until failure
- Manual inspections and periodic testing miss early thermal and insulation degradation
- Cable joints and terminations are high-risk points with limited continuous visibility
- Disconnected data across inspections, tests, and operations teams
- No real-time regional view to prioritize maintenance across large transmission networks
- AIGC Solution
- Deployed a continuous online cable condition monitoring system for HV & MV networks
- Implemented real-time monitoring of insulation, conductor, sheath current, and termination temperatures
- Applied advanced Cable Health Assessment algorithms to detect early-stage faults
- Centralized asset dashboards with regional and feeder-level visibility
- Integrated inspection and test data with live operational load profiles
- Enabled SMS and email alerts and seamless integration with existing SCADA / SAS systems
- Realized Value
- Early detection of developing cable and joint failures, preventing outages
- Shift from reactive repairs to condition-based maintenance
- Reduced fault localization time and improved response speed
- Extended cable asset life through proactive thermal and insulation management
- Improved network reliability with a single, digital view of cable health across regions
