Why a Digital Twin for Substations and Transformers Is Strategic, Not Optional
For any power system operator, uninterrupted electricity supply is a non‑negotiable public and
economic necessity. Substations are the backbone nodes of this mission-critical network: they
interconnect generation and transmission, manage power flows, provide protection and control,
and ultimately determine the reliability seen by consumers and industry.

Today’s operating context raises the stakes further. Load volatility from electrification, renewable intermittency, extreme weather, supply chain constraints, and extended lead times for large equipment all compress the margin for error.
What’s needed is a proactive, system wide view that reveals incipient issues early prioritizes interventions by risk and criticality, and accelerates decision-making during disturbances.
3D, Data-Rich Model
Transforms Routine Diagnostics
Transforms Routine Diagnostics
creates a living, 3D, data-rich model of each substation, unifying assets, protection
settings, maintenance history, and real-time condition indicators into a single
operational picture.
Transforms Routine Diagnostics
Transforms Routine Diagnostics
Transforms Routine Diagnostics
transforms routine diagnostics (e.g., DGA, moisture/furan, partial discharge, bushing
tests, OLTC signatures, thermal imaging) into actionable health indices and remaining- life insights, so emerging risks are addressed before they affect service.
Scenario Analysis
Transforms Routine Diagnostics
Scenario Analysis
supports scenario analysis and outage planning, reducing restoration times and
enhancing safety, while aligning OPEX/CAPEX to the assets that carry the greatest system consequence.
At the heart of each substation, power transformers play a pivotal role—stepping voltages, withstanding system faults, and operating continuously under thermal and electrical stress. A single transformer outage can propagate into wide-area constraints, costly redispatch, and customer interruptions.
Grid Resilience
Situational Awareness
Situational Awareness
strengthens grid resilience by enabling earlier, targeted actions on the components
that most influence reliability—transformers and their critical auxiliaries.
Situational Awareness
Situational Awareness
Situational Awareness
For the authority responsible for electricity management, investing in this capability is
ultimately about ensuring that power stays on. Substations are too important, and
transformers too central, to operate without deep situational awareness.
Digital Twin
Situational Awareness
Digital Twin
A digital twin turns complex asset data into foresight at the speed required by modern power systems securing continuity of supply, protecting public trust, and optimizing the lifecycle of the grid’s most critical equipment.
