GADIA - Wind Turbine Interconnection Asset Management

The GADIA project is a project led by Ormazabal, who collaborates on the project along with CENTRO DE ESTUDIOS E INVESTIGACIONES TÉCNICAS (CEIT-IK4), MONDRAGON GOI ESKOLA POLITEKNIKOA (MGEP).  The project is framed within the MINECO’s “Collaborative Challenges” program and is being developed during the years 2018, 2019 and 2020.

Goals:

The main objective of the project is the development of detectors for the “online” monitoring of the degradation of the dielectric liquid in distribution transformers using self-developed sensors, the development of an integrated “online” monitoring system of the degree of vacuum in the switches installed in medium voltage cells, and the development of a monitoring and diagnostic system for insulation in transformers and cables.

Other objectives of the project are:

1. Transformers: Development of detectors for the “online” monitoring of dielectric fluid degradation in distribution transformers using proprietary sensors
2. Cells with vacuum switches: Development of an integrated “online” monitoring system for the degree of vacuum in circuit breakers installed in medium voltage cells
3. Development of amonitoring and diagnostic systemof insulation in transformers and cables.

Project funded by:

Project Co-financed by the program “Collaboration Challenges of the State Program of Research, Development and Innovation oriented to the challenges of society”, of the MINISTRY OF SCIENCE, INNOVATION.
