A hardware-software complex (HSC) for assessing the state of high-voltage equipment, developed at the Snezhinsk Physics and Technology Institute (SPTI) of the MEPhI, will be delivered to China. The introduction of this development has become one of the subjects of the cooperation agreement between the SPTI, Logotech and the Chinese Electrotechnical Association.

Work on modeling the layout of the agro-industrial complex was completed in April this year. It allows you to monitor the technical condition, identify defects and evaluate the residual life of a wide variety of equipment - power transformers, cables, electric motors. “The possible scope of this development is very wide, and its use is a guarantee of safety and uninterrupted operation of industrial production, thermal power plants, hydroelectric power stations, nuclear power plants,” said the representative of the press service of the institute.

Alexei Shulgin, head of the Department of Automated, Information and Computing Systems at SPTI of the MEPhI, said that a similar device is produced by the French company Chauvin Arnua, but the French device only takes readings. All further processing and analysis of information is performed outside the device, using specialized software products made by Russian developers from the Smolensk branch of Moscow Power Engineering Institute.

Scientists from the SPTI of the MEPhI have created not only the device itself for assessing the state of insulation by dielectric absorption methods, but also, complete with it, a program for analyzing the data obtained. In the future, it is planned to both supply the Russian agro-industrial complex to China and use it at Russian enterprises, the MEPhI representative concluded.
