Abstract: The present application is directed to an electrical system including a housing configured to hold electrical components within an internal volume. In one aspect the electrical system is a power transformer. A sensor is mounted to the housing and is configured to sense a parameter associated with one or more electrical components during operation of the electrical system. A control system including a communication unit and a data processing unit is operable for analyzing the sensed parameter and comparing the sensed parameter to a predetermined minimum or maximum threshold value.

Abstract: A submersible inspection drone used for inspection can include a ballast system used to control depth of the submersible inspection drone. The submersible can be configured to communicate to a base station using a wireless transmitter and receiver. The ballast system can include a pressure vessel for storing fluid and a bag for inflating and deflating as it receives a fluid. Buoyancy of the submersible inspection drone can be provided by change in density of the pressure vessel as a compressible gas is expanded when the ballast bag is caused to inflate or deflate. A pump can be used to draw fluid from the ballast bag and store the fluid in the pressure vessel. In one form the pressure vessel can include a compressible fluid and an incompressible fluid, where the incompressible fluid is used to inflate and deflate the bag.

Abstract: A method is provided for detecting an anomalous frequency response analysis (FRA) test of a transformer. The method uses frequency response analysis to measure voltage amplitudes and frequencies in one winding of the transformer which result from an AC voltage applied to another winding of the transformer. Two statistical distributions are generated from the measured data and the statistical distributions are combined such that one distribution defines one axis, the other distribution defines another axis, and the probabilities of the distributions defines another axis.

Abstract: An Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning driven assessment system for monitoring electrical equipment assets includes a computer system that is configured to receive user-provided asset data associated with operation of a plurality of electrical equipment assets operated by a plurality of users/owners, where the identity of any asset in the database is restricted and only known to the user that owns/operates the asset. The computer system is configured to analyze the user data in conjunction with a pooled knowledge database so as to generate courses of action or assessments for the monitored electrical equipment assets and to update the analysis process based on feedback from a comparison of the assessment or course of action with an actual outcome.

Abstract: A submersible vehicle which includes a plurality of cameras can be used to collect visual images of an object of interest submerged in a liquid environment, such as in a tank (e.g. transformer tank). In one form the submersible vehicle is remotely operated such as an ROV or an autonomous vehicle. Image information from the submersible along with inertial measurements in some embodiments is used with a vision based modelling system to form a model of an internal object of interest in the tank. The vision based modelling system can include a number of processes to form the model such as but not limited to tracking, sparse and dense reconstruction, model generation, and rectification.

Abstract: A submersible inspection device used for inspection of, for example, liquid cooled electrical transformers can include a number of separate cameras for imaging the internal structure of the transformer. The submersible can be configured to communicate to a base station using a number of wireless transmitters and receivers. Signals transmitted to the submersible include command signals useful to effect an action on the submersible but also a heartbeat signal to indicate health of the transmitted signal. A redundant channel selection logic is provided to switch from a channel which no longer receives a heartbeat to another channel that includes a current heartbeat. Multiple signals can be received and evaluated in software, and another signal received via a firmware radio.
