24/7 INFRARED AND VISUAL MONITORING SYSTEMS
This month’s Featured Technical Paper is from the Proceedings of the 2026 International Conference of Doble Clients. The paper is titled: 24/7 Infrared And Visual Monitoring Systems.
Abstract
Southern Company is deploying two distinct infrared (IR) camera systems in substations to provide continuous thermal monitoring of in-service equipment. Each of these systems detects the formation or worsening of thermal hotspots through real-time data collection of temperature readings as well as monitors the condition of equipment through this data paired with visual images. Access to such data provides a better understanding of historical, present, and potential future health of major substation equipment, allowing equipment owners to make better informed maintenance decisions.
