💰 Substations in Photovoltaic Plants: Critical Failures and Hidden Costs. Ep. 1.

Подробнее о видео

⚠️ A substation can fail just once... but that failure can shut down an entire plant and cost hundreds of thousands of euros.

🔍 This video reveals the true impact of photovoltaic substation failures, combining technical and financial analysis based on real data from over 5 years, including insurers, operators, and laboratories.

📉 Although these are not the most frequent failures, they are the most costly and time-consuming, and directly affect project profitability. Are you ready to anticipate them?

📌 Key topics we explore in this video:

🔧 Critical components and failure mechanisms:

🧯 GSU and conventional transformers: responsible for 28% of shutdowns, more than 120 hours/year.

💨 SF6 and other breakers: leaks, contact failures, unwanted trips.

🔐 Electrical protections: incorrect configuration = defenseless plant.

🖥️ SCADA and cybersecurity: the new Achilles' heel in remote management.

❄️ Cooling systems: invisible, but lethal, overheating.

⚡ Insulators and aggressive environments: short circuits due to silent degradation.

🧠 Predictive Maintenance & Advanced Monitoring:

Dissolved Gas Detection (DGA)

Temperature and Vibration Analysis

Specialized Visual Inspections

Early Warnings to Reduce TCO and Extend Service Life

📊 Direct Economic Impact:

🏭 Lost Revenue from Unspent Energy

🛠️ Urgent Repair and Logistics Costs

📉 Contractual Penalties

📦 Components with Long Lead Times

🔁 Identified Structural Risks:

❌ Lack of Redundancy

📏 Calibration Errors

💻 Cyber ​​Threats

📉 Non-Compliance with Regulatory Verifications

📈 Integrated Technical + Financial Overview:
This video is not just for engineers. It is also a guide for CFOs, investors, and insurers, who need to understand the real risk behind the most costly electrical failures.
