Success story
New materials with better isolation and fault detection in medium voltage network cables
ITE has intensively worked with companies in the field of capital goods improvement. For example, it has developed new materials with the companies Poinsa and Iberdrola that will improve the performance of current silicone insulators. It has also collaborated with companies in projects in the field of predictive maintenance and asset management. In this case, the centre has cooperated with a consortium of national companies for the improvement in the detection of faults in the cables of medium voltage networks through partial discharge techniques. In addition, with the Germania de Instalaciones company, a fingerprint tool has been developed for the management and improvement of the work of maintenance teams.
