Grid Monitoring

Improving, renewing, and maintaining the grid are essential for the electricity system to function properly.

How we maintain and supervise the electricity grid to ensure a safe and continuous supply?

Supervision of the electricity grid

Improving, renewing, and maintaining the grid are essential for the electricity system to function properly.

At e-distribución, we work to:

  • guarantee the quality of the service,
  • ensure the continuity of the supply,
  • protect the safety of the facilities.

We carry out work on the infrastructure in all areas where we distribute energy.

What does maintenance include?

We maintain all elements of the distribution network:

  • High, medium, and low-voltage lines
  • Substations
  • Transformer substations
  • Meters and concentrators

We continuously review and renew these facilities.

Our specialised team verifies that everything is working correctly and complies with current regulations and safety standards.

TECHNOLOGY FOR GRID  MAINTENANCE

 

We use advanced technology to efficiently supervise the grid:

  • Infrared cameras: these detect temperature changes and potential faults.
  • LIDAR technology: creates 3D maps to measure distances.
  • Drones with high-resolution cameras: these inspect hard-to-reach areas.

These tools allow us to detect problems without interrupting the supply.

We also use cameras installed on helicopters to carry out thermal inspections. These cameras identify components with abnormal temperatures.

Thanks to this technology:

  • we detect incidents quickly,
  • we act with greater precision,
  • we activate solutions automatically.
