Success Factors
The utility’s swift response, enabled by H2scan’s technology, was key to its success. Upon detecting the high
gas levels, they immediately de-energized the transformer and brought out the manufacturer for inspection.
The inspection revealed severe damage to the low-side winding, leading to the decision to remove the unit
from service and seek a replacement.
This early detection prevented a potentially catastrophic failure of the transformer, highlighting the GRIDSCAN
5000 as an effective life extension tool for critical assets. The utility was able to replace the transformer based
on its actual condition rather than relying solely on age or guesswork.
Broader Impact
As a result of this successful pilot, the utility is taking signi昀椀cant steps:
• Working with H2scan to get the sensor speci昀椀ed on new transformer units
• Planning retro昀椀ts for existing transformers across their 昀氀eet
• Working with H2scan to overcome cybersecurity concerns and prove the safety of the system
The utility is looking to implement the H2scan solution speci昀椀ed for new transformers and a retro昀椀t for an
initial 80 critical units, expanding to potentially cover hundreds more transformers across the entire 昀氀eet
(transmission, generation, distribution). Rollout is planned during a four-to-昀椀ve-year period.
Key Bene昀椀ts for Global Application
The GRIDSCAN 5000 Multi-Sense Monitor from H2scan offers utilities several bene昀椀ts:
n Early Warning System: Detects issues before
they escalate
n Cost-effect: Half the price of less reliable com-
petitors
n Reliability: Ten-year warranty on the hydrogen
sensing element
n Connectivity: IoT/ SCADA/ ADMS ready with
Modbus or DNP3
n No maintenance: Patented auto-calibration
eliminates drift and the need for periodic calibrations to maximize uptime
n Easy to Install and Operate: No moving parts and
small form factor
n Rugged and Reliable: Rated for harsh envi-
ronmental conditions (meets or exceeds IP68
standards for exposure to water and dust)
