At the product level, Sensformer Advanced is equipped with physical sensors that collect data in real time and send it via an IoT device to the cloud platform. All data is stored together with the digital twin, the design-data-based virtual replication of the transformer on the cloud. The data is analyzed on the cloud platform using various applications to improve operational performance. As an operator you can access the platform via browser application.

Of course, we comply with state-of-the-art security and encryption technologies to protect your data.

The greatest advantage of Sensformer Advanced is the permanent availability of the information - the cloud platform can be accessed at any time and from anywhere also using a mobile phone. In addition, the applications on the cloud platform are always up to date, as updates and quality improvements are automatically installed as soon as they are available. Data storage, including backup and recovery features, is of course automatically implemented via the cloud.

With the Sensformer Edge the data is collected at the product level by physical sensors. The dataset includes information such as oil level, top oil temperature, and winding current information, as well as information on cooling inlet, outlet, and ambient temperatures. All data is stored together with the digital twin on the Edge device. You can easily analyze it on any PC in your local IT infrastructure.

The greatest advantages of Sensformer Edge are data privacy and processing times. As the data is stored and analyzed locally and offline, high data security and privacy rules and demands are met. There is no transfer of the measured and calculated customer data to any cloud. The required connection to the cloud platform is only used to push functional and cybersecurity updates to the Sensformer Edge infrastructure. The application response times are extremely short due to local data processing.

Despite offline data storage and analysis, we naturally offer updates, backup functions and data recovery functions on demand. Via a Remote Manager you can decide to update your applications and get quality improvements whenever this is convenient for you from the Siemens Energy Edge Hub.

The Sensgear™ portfolio comprises gas-insulated switchgear, circuit breakers and instrument transformers. It lets you know their current status in near-real time via an online application. This means you can take better decisions,

optimize the management of your grid, which results in more

flexibility and more economic operation.

The Sensgear™ portfolio comprises gas-insulated switchgear, circuit breakers and instrument transformers. Thanks to its artificial intelligence powered data analytics, it increases the efficiency and sustainability of your assets and operations, e.g. by preventive detection and early warning of suspicious & critical assets or gas leakages.

Gas leaking is recognized as the most frequent cause of failure for gas-insulated transformers. Thanks to artificial intelligence, Sensgear instrument transformers will be able to detect leakages in advance and generate business value out of the gas density measurement.

All our CO2 neutral Blue instrument transformers are delivered with the new Sensgear™ technology.

Fluid leakage and internal dielectric loss of insulations are the main causes of failure for oil-insulated transformers.  Sensgear instrument transformers will pave the way toward a solution to these problems, providing transparency and predicting possible issues related to the product.

Capacitive voltage transformers pose a challenge to asset managers because their reliability issues may not be apparent. Thanks to the cloud connectivity concept, Sensgear capacitive voltage transformers can be an easy solution to a complicated challenge, allowing data to be obtained from several units without a cable connection.
