As we complete our final testing at Elia Group's ALEGrO HVDC converter station, before leaving the robot in the energised HVDC valve hall for another year of operations, it makes me wonder how long before all transmission system operators will be incorporating robotic dynamic remote condition monitoring as a matter of normal practice into their HVDC operating environments... Like so many other industries in this 'Industry 4.0' world, forward thinking TSOs, like Elia Group, 50Hertz Transmission GmbH, Nemo Link Limited, and Réseau de Transport d'Électricité (RTE) are starting to reap the benefits of increasing digitisation in their operations. The use of fixed sensors is given in these environments, but augmenting those with robot-mounted dynamic sensors that can autonomously monitor large areas filled with dense with complex systems and difficult to see components, with AI-driven analytics that alerts human operators to potential anomalies, is extremely powerful. Greater coverage and more detailed, comprehensive, and repeatable data collection powers ever-better AI analysis as these systems learn, and this all adds up to a better understanding of the structural health, condition, and operational status of these critical infrastructure assets, enhancing reliability, maintenance planning, and uptime. What's not to love about all that.

The SITRANS TDL in situ laser platform is a big deal — in large part thanks to its widespread increases in capability. And there are a few features that especially exemplify this. O2 measurements are now possible over long optical pathlengths, even with instrument gas as the purging gas. In the future, we will further develop the technology for more gases. In addition, reactive gases are no longer an issue because no sampling is required. Measure chemical gases without fear of inaccuracy.
