Addressing the Rising Trend of Power Failures at Major Airports and Venues
An analysis of power outages at Hartsfield-Jackson, LAX, Heathrow, DIA, JFK, MIA, and other major airports since 2017. Examines root causes (failing splices, loose connections, aging bushings) and presents PowerIntel as the CBM solution.
IRIS Deployment at PG&E 500kV Station: Autonomous Thermal Monitoring in Action
Case study of the IRIS (Intelligent Remote Infrared Sensing) platform deployed at a Pacific Gas & Electric 500kV high-voltage transmission substation, monitoring critical shunt reactors and switchgear assets.
Keeping the Arc Alive: Continuous Thermal Analysis for EAF Steel Mill Resilience
How continuous thermal analysis — combining fixed IR imaging, HeatWave contact sensing, and PowerIntel analytics — improves EAF transformer resilience, reduces forced outages, and extends asset life in steel meltshops. Includes Gerdau field data and outage cost modeling.
Georgia Power Extends Underground Reliability to Mercedes-Benz Stadium for the 2026 FIFA World Cup
Georgia Power's Network Underground group deploys 20 RADIX thermal imaging sensors in Mercedes-Benz Stadium transformer vaults ahead of FIFA World Cup 2026, building on 100+ camera ATL infrastructure. Includes ROI analysis and economies-of-scale case.
PTZ Infrared Cameras for Temperature Measurement and Condition Monitoring in Power Systems
Independent technical analysis of Pan-Tilt-Zoom infrared cameras in power systems: advantages, precision risks, image stabilization requirements, and how Power Intelligence's stabilization technology overcomes the fundamental accuracy challenges at distance.
Wireless, Battery-Free Contact Temperature Sensors for Enhanced Condition Monitoring of Power Delivery Assets
Engineering analysis of HeatWave passive RF-backscatter sensors for transformer bushings, LTCs, buswork, and bolted connections — assets that cameras struggle to monitor due to line-of-sight constraints. Includes accuracy data and SCADA integration guide.
Revolutionizing Non-Line-of-Sight Temperature Monitoring: HeatWave Performance in Confined Electromagnetic Environments
Peer-reviewed performance testing of HeatWave sensors in Faraday-cage-like environments (equipment cabinets, switchgear, EAF transformers, underground vaults). Demonstrates how RF reflections in confined spaces actually enhance sensor performance. Data from ATL and JOEMC 115kV substations.
