Visibility into events across remote grid locations
Transmission networks and substations need clear evidence of where faults occur, how transients propagate and which assets require attention. Synaptec combines passive sensing and centrally synchronised data acquisition for monitoring, diagnostics and power-system protection applications.
GeoWatt supports utilities, network operators and industrial power users in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan with measurement-point selection, solution architecture and technical coordination with the manufacturer.
When conventional instrumentation is not enough
Distributed network
Remote towers, transition points and branched feeders are difficult to instrument using conventional infrastructure.
Uncertain fault location
On mixed overhead-and-cable circuits, identifying the faulty section is essential for appropriate auto-reclose logic.
Limited event records
SCADA trends and conventional monitoring may not capture short-lived transients and the order of events.
Condition-based maintenance
Without continuous surveillance of joints, terminations and cable sections, deterioration may remain undetected.
Synaptec Power Grids applications diagram
Four key applications
Synchronised waveform monitoring
Compare current, voltage and other waveform signals from multiple locations to investigate switching events, oscillations and power-quality disturbances.
Differential protection of complex feeders
Distributed measurements enable multi-zone schemes for branched, multi-ended and mixed feeders; exact protective functions are subject to scheme design.
Mixed overhead-and-cable protection
Distinguish cable faults from overhead-line faults to inform correct auto-reclose blocking or permissive logic in a suitably designed scheme.
Cable asset condition monitoring
Electrical and thermal measurements at joints, terminations and selected locations support early anomaly detection and targeted maintenance.
Connecting field measurement points to the control centre
Passive converters at selected locations transmit optical signals over fibre to central interrogation equipment. Measurements are digitised and synchronised for monitoring, event analysis and protection functions specified in the project. Equipment configuration, relay integration and communications interfaces depend on the agreed technical requirements.
Value for engineering teams
Protection engineers
Evidence for zone definition, fault discrimination and auto-reclose logic.
Control room
Greater visibility into network conditions and event sequences.
Asset management
Data to support cable and joint diagnostics and maintenance planning.
System designers
A basis for selecting sensing points, fibre topology and integration requirements.
Technical management
A structured case for phased upgrades and risk-based investment.

Discuss monitoring and protection for your network
Start with one line, cable section or substation. Describe your existing instrumentation and the challenge you want to solve, and GeoWatt will help identify the next engineering step.
Solution selection for a specific circuit
If you have a single-line diagram, circuit information and details of the current protection system, we can proceed to architecture assessment.
