Driving Sustainability with Data Analytics
Megger has been a global leader in electrical test and measurement for 130 years. The provider understands every aspect of the electricity network, from generation and transmission to distribution and consumption. From power generation to the power outlets in your home, Megger testing products cover almost every application within the electrical supply industry.
On an industrial level, testing machinery using Megger’s products means customers can put tailored maintenance plans in place to help them keep their equipment operating as efficiently as possible. These maintenance plans also help prolong the life of their machinery, saving money, and reducing CO2 at the same time.
Over 60% of energy in industrial systems is used by motors and drive systems. Given that motors wear out over time, keeping them running efficiently and knowing when to replace them is important in terms of limiting down time and saving energy.
Megger knows that data analytics is important in the transition to net zero. With the economy moving away from gas and fossil fuels, and more demand for electricity due to increasing numbers of electric vehicles and air source heat pumps, more pressure is put on the electricity grid. It is therefore important that the grid is managed as efficiently as possible.
The power flow on the grid is also now more multidirectional, with power being fed in at different times from renewable energy sources. The result is more complexity which can put stress on electrical assets. Megger is expanding its product lines to include continuous monitoring equipment using sensors and analytics software which can help protect the grid against these stressors as it decarbonises.
About Megger
Megger is helping the power industry to reach net zero in several important ways. While the company’s primary business is the design and manufacture of electrical testing equipment, more recently, Megger is providing asset performance monitoring (APM) and condition-based monitoring technology to give grid operators key information.
APM technology tells utilities when their electrical infrastructure is underperforming, flagging a maintenance event before a component fails, preventing downtime, saving money and reducing the carbon footprint of unnecessary replacements.
