• OKTO GRID is a company specialised in the digitalisation of electricity assets to boost the predictive maintenance of infrastructure.
• The Danish company joins a portfolio that already includes Zeleros, CounterCraft, Nearby Computing, HESStec and Aerolaser.

• After four years and a 1.6-million-euro investment in innovation, the Grid2030 program, a pioneer in Spain, comes to its end.
• The technological challenges of the electrical system throughout the ecological transition process are the main focus of the developed solutions.

Commitment to and development in innovation are important factors in achieving global objectives in terms of energy efficiency and connectivity. That is why, at Elewit, we promote explorations that seek technological solutions that bring us closer to the objective we have in the energy and telecommunications sector. Our partners are a key element for us as they provide us with their strategic vision to achieve a better, more sustainable and inclusive future.

Technology has undergone a significant change with 5G, which connects several devices into a single network. This is an advantage that, for instance, enables Redeia to remotely inspect its electrical assets to better optimize facility maintenance and increase its security and safety. Additionally, it provides the opportunity for independent communications systems and infrastructure optimization.

Vegetation management is an essential aspect in the maintenance of power lines. Following SAGA’s philosophy, where predictive maintenance is based on the condition of the assets and the overall risk of the grid, this APM this solution developed by Red Eléctrica includes an extension (VEGETA) that allows for optimal and prioritised management of vegetation felling and pruning plans.

What is SF6?

SF6 is an artificial gas whose properties make it a great dielectric. Specifically, it exceeds the dielectric property of air by 2.5 times, making it an excellent electrical insulator.

Where is it used?

Over the last few decades, it has been applied in a large number of assets in electricity transmission and distribution networks, for example as an insulator in switchgear, transformers or GIS (Gas Insulated Substation), among others.

Why should we reduce its use?

• This will allow us to use technology in a more universal and efficient manner, also improving the times required by specialised technicians.
• This initiative allows the intensification of the roll-out of wideband in rural and remote areas.
• The call, directed at the whole entrepreneurial ecosystem, will be open until September 30^th.
