POWERGRAB is a unique technology on the high voltage market. It is the only high-voltage grid surveillance system that includes an energy harvester that attains enough electricity (100 times more than current available options) to deliver direct current (DC) power. This power enables an avant-garde high-quality real-time internal and external surveillance and measurement devices (high-resolution 360º camera with night vision, thermal camera, accelerometer, salinity sensors, weather stations, tilt sensors, real-time communication). The patented technology [US 10,622,838] easily clamps onto any alternating current (AC) carrying phase wires of high voltage power lines and harvests this energy from the surrounding electromagnetic field, powering the surveillance equipment located in its weather-sealed compartment. This solution provides real-time detailed insight on the grid status to operators, enabling better management of the characteristic intermittence of renewable energy generation and its infrastructure and ensuring, safety, cost-efficiency and optimal performance and maintenance of the infrastructure, as the challenges of increased renewable energy production and smart grids evolve. We have installed two prototypes of the system on high voltage power lines in Iceland for real-time testing, in collaboration with Landsnet, the Icelandic transmission system operators (TSO), and one prototype in Norway in collaboration with Statnett, the Norwegian TSO. The results of these live tests are serving as inputs for product development. LAKI POWER was founded in 2015 with the objective to disrupt the way monitoring of high voltage lines is carried out by providing cost effective real-time intelligence to operators. The strategy is to build on and add value to our unique power platform and become a provider of full-service surveillance systems. ver más
