Application Study in the Field of Solutions for the Monitoring Distribution Transformers of the Overhead Power Grid

This paper will present the development and application of overhead transformers of the distribution grid, as well as the different technologies used for the gathering of electrical quantities, in the field of a monitoring solution. The solution reports the values of the quantities and alarms of operation remotely and almost in real-time. The development of this solution seeks to provide an electrical grid with greater reliability, proposing the reduction of KPIs (Key Performance Indicator), such as SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index) and SAIFI (System Average Interruption Frequency Index), through more transparent monitoring of the behavior of the electrical distribution grid and its equipment. Through the research and development (R&D) project Urban Futurability, ENEL (Ente nazionale per l’energia elettrica) Distribution São Paulo seeks to apply the solution by implementing the concept of smart grids, an idea that has been growing each year by virtue of technological developments and the employment of new sensors in electrical distribution grids. Urban Futurability seeks to innovate the automation area, digital twin, and construction enhancement in the Vila Olímpia neighborhood of São Paulo, Brazil
