Weather Monitoring Stations in electrical substations provide environmental context essential for asset protection, fault prevention, and grid performance tracking. These stations are often integrated with protection relays, RTUs, and SCADA to support real-time diagnostics and operational reliability.
01
Supports Predictive Maintenance
Correlates environmental stressors with equipment performance and fault history.
02
Enhances Grid Resilience
Temperature, humidity, wind, and rain data feed into protection systems to improve uptime.
03
Customizable for Urban and Remote Sites
Compact or full-station versions available for control rooms or unmanned yards.
Key Features of Our Weather Monitoring Stations for Substations
High-Precision Sensor Suite
- Covers ambient temperature, barometric pressure, humidity, wind speed/direction, and rain.
Dew Point & Air Density Monitoring
- Useful in insulation degradation prediction and air-cooled transformer behavior.
Compact Sensor Enclosures
- Designed for equipment shelters or perimeter poles with minimal footprint.
Indoor Environment Sensors
- MBMet-902 monitors inverter/control room conditions for HVAC coordination.
SCADA and MBSCADA Met Cloud Integration
- Enables data aggregation, alarm generation, and compliance reporting.
Electromagnetic Compatibility
- Sensors and dataloggers meet EMC standards (IEC 61000) for substation environments.
