Case History: Intelligent Monitoring of Electrical Substations in Favignana

Digitron-Italia Srl for the Favignana Electric Company

Client: FAVIGNANA ELECTRIC COMPANY (Island of Favignana – TP)

Technology Provider: Digitron-Italia Srl

Sector: Energy – Monitoring and supervision of electrical systems.

Client Needs

The Favignana Electric Company needed a solution to continuously and precisely monitor the electrical and environmental parameters of the transformation substations on the island, optimizing infrastructure management and ensuring timely interventions, especially in an island context where reaction times are critical.

Solution proposed by Digitron-Italia

Digitron-Italia Srl designed and implemented a remote control system for electrical substations based on radio communication, avoiding the need for complex and costly wired infrastructures.

The installed system allows real-time monitoring of a wide range of electrical and environmental parameters, including:

• Internal cabin temperature

                  

• Transformer temperature

                  

• Actual and maximum current

                  

• Actual and minimum voltage

                  

• Active and reactive power

                  

• Power factor (phase shift)

                  

• Sum of currents on a single line for each cabin

              

Advanced system features

• Intelligent alarm system, with local visual and acoustic signals and automatic email sending in case of critical threshold تجاوز.

                  

• Consultable graphs for each monitored parameter, with time scrolling tools that allow historical data consultation even over very extended periods.

                  

• Remote download of data sampled by individual electrical analyzers installed in the field.

                  

• Automatic daily reports sent via email with a summary of any anomalies and alarms that occurred in the previous 24 hours.

                  

• Webserver access, no dedicated software required: the system can be consulted from any browser, both for real-time supervision and for access to recorded data, exportable in CSV format.

              

Benefits achieved

• Continuous and centralized control of electrical substations distributed on the island.

                  

• Rapid and targeted interventions, thanks to the real-time alarm system and automatic notifications.

                  

• Significant reduction in maintenance and transfer costs, thanks to remote data consultation.

                  

• Greater reliability and quality of electricity service, benefiting both residents and seasonal tourist flow.

                  

• Solution scalability, with the possibility of extending the system to other areas of the island's electrical grid.
