On-Line Monitoring Averts Imminent Bushing Failure: ITC Holdings reaps reliability rewards using continuous monitoring and intelligent diagnostics

摘要

ITC HOLDINGS CORP. INVESTS IN ELECTRICITY TRANSMISSION INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS as a means to improve electric reliability, reduce grid congestion and lower the overall cost of delivered energy. Prior to ITC Holdings Corp. (Novi, Michigan, U.S.) assuming ownership of the transmission systems in the state of Michigan, a series of catastrophic failures occurred involving transmission system transformers. As a part of ITC's investment in the grid, the company initiated a transformer monitoring project to allow real-time monitoring to mitigate imminent transformer failures.
