AI Fault Prediction on Underwater Cable

Prediction of incipient faults on power grids underground 

Project Overview


Collaborative project with the NYPA to identify interruptions in an underwater cable between Long Island and mainland New York. Predict evolving faults and disturbances with as long a time horizon as possible.


Process

Applying AI/ML techniques to historical data from various sources. Identifying small anomalies, deviations, and patterns to predict evolving faults and disturbances as far in advance as possible.

Outcome


Initial cable faults on buried & underwater cables could be predicted

  • 2 months in advance with an 80% level of confidence
  • 24 hours with a near 99% level of confidence.


Eneryield IntelliView™ goes beyond the capabilities of conventional power grid analysis techniques and identified data correlations, indicators, and characteristics. The AI/ML techniques tailored to their needs, enable NYPA to achieve high confidence in predicting faults and identifying key operational drivers.

Invaluable for maintenance


A system that can predict problems and identify causes could be invaluable in maintaining the resilience of the transmission system not only for NYPA but other utilities as well.

Distribution

Prediction of Power Grid Faults Using Relay Data

 A project to reduce outages together with ABB and Vaasa Electricity Network

Project Overview


Together with ABB, we want to make our contribution to an increasingly electrified society with a higher reliance on an uninterrupted power supply. The goal is to: Reduce the number of interruptions in the power supply, enhance fault localization, isolation, and supply restoration processes. Minimize the duration of faults when they do occur.


Process


  • The solution is based on an explainable AI, XAI, machine learning-based fault prediction designed to foresee incipient faults and identify how the conclusions are drawn, avoiding false positives.
  • Proactively ensuring power supply reliability, enhancing prediction and prevention of faults, ultimately improving customer experience by minimizing potential outages.
  • Utilizing existing measurements of current and voltage, eliminating the need for additional sensor installations.

Outcome


67% of faults were accurately predicted one week prior to their occurrence with the reliability of a 91% avoidance of false alarms. Highlighted the need for improved networks and operational practices for transmission and distribution systems. Shown to improve reliability and save costs for distribution and transmission lines. ABB chose to proceed with a solution from Eneryield after several successful pilot projects.

"We aim to transform power infrastructure together with strong actors on the market to make a significant impact on a global scale."
