Preventive and predictive maintenance in electrical substations

Electrical substations are critical points in the electrical system, responsible for the transmission and distribution of electrical energy to different locations. To ensure continuity of electricity supply and avoid failures that could result in damage or financial losses, it is essential to carry out preventive and predictive maintenance in electrical substations.

Preventive maintenance consists of performing regular inspections on equipment before failures occur. These inspections allow problems to be identified before they affect equipment performance or cause an interruption in the electrical power supply. Preventive maintenance involves the replacement of worn parts, lubrication of components, cleaning of equipment and other services aimed at maintaining proper functioning of equipment.

Predictive maintenance is based on technical analysis and data collected in real time, with the aim of predicting possible failures before they occur. This is done by collecting data about the condition of the equipment and analyzing that data to identify trends or patterns that could indicate an impending failure. Predictive maintenance involves using advanced technologies such as vibration analysis, thermographic analysis and electrical testing to identify potential problems.

The combination of preventive and predictive maintenance can help extend the useful life of equipment in electrical substations, in addition to ensuring continuity of electricity supply and avoiding financial losses. Preventive maintenance prevents issues that could result in unexpected failures, while predictive maintenance helps identify potential failures before they occur.

In summary, preventive and predictive maintenance are essential to ensure the efficiency and safety of electrical substations. Investing in preventive and predictive maintenance can reduce operating costs, extend the useful life of equipment and ensure continuity of electricity supply.
