Full Asset Lifecycle
Our technology can be installed at new build sites to monitor Partial Discharge from commissioning of your new assets, we are involved with stakeholders in new build projects from end users and operators, EPCs and system integration with OEMs. Our systems can also be installed as retrofit for brownfield sites for asset life extension as part of Condition Based Maintenance programmes to provide a complete network full asset lifecycle approach.
HVPD works with a variety of MV & HV networks, with exports making up more than 90% of our total sales, demonstrating our truly global footprint in the following industries:
-Oil & Gas, LNG (Upstream & Downstream)
-Heavy Industry (Mining, Minerals & Metals)
-Power Generation (Coal, Natural Gas, Shale, non-renewables)
-Industrial Private Networks (Data Centres, Paper, Transport, Pharmaceuticals, Leisure)
-Transmission and Distribution
-Renewables
HVPD have patented technology for remote monitoring of HV assets that allow sensors to be remotely located so that the PD monitoring can encompass the switchgear cabinet, termination, feeder cable and remote asset (eg transformer, rotating machine).
