- Enables 15-20% increased transformer loading capacity
- Prevents thermal runaway failures during peak demand
Why Middle East Power Grids Need Advanced Temperature Monitoring
The extreme operating conditions in UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar create unique challenges for power transformers:
- Ambient temperatures exceeding 50°C (122°F)
- Sand and dust infiltration in desert substations
- Coastal salt corrosion in installations near Arabian Gulf
- Peak electricity demands from intensive cooling systems
- Grid stability requirements for economic diversification projects
Traditional Monitoring Limitations in Gulf Conditions
Electromechanical Sensors (RTDs/Thermocouples)
- ❌ EMI distortion from high-voltage fields
- ❌ Calibration drift in extreme heat
- ❌ Point measurement misses actual hot spots
Infrared Systems
- ❌ Surface-only measurement
- ❌ Dust/sand obstruction on lenses
- ❌ Solar radiation interference
