How IoT Sensors Predict Power Transformer Failures
Each year, transformer failures in power grids cause billions in damage and extended blackouts. New IoT sensor systems—combining vibration, acoustic, temperature, and dissolved gas analysis—can predict failures weeks in advance. In this episode, Lucas and Luna examine how utilities like TVA and Southern Company are deploying these sensor arrays to monitor critical transformers. They walk through the sensor technology, the data analytics that flag anomalies, and the economic case: a single avoided catastrophic failure can save over two million dollars, making the sensor investment a…
