Energy & Grid

Substation & Grid Asset Monitoring

Autonomous patrols of substations and lines — thermal faults and intrusions caught before they trip the grid.

Substations are unmanned, remote, and critical. A failing bushing or an open gate can cascade into an outage. Truck-rolls for routine checks are expensive and slow. Centertron patrols the yard, reads gauges and thermals, and keeps a live World Model of grid-asset health.

Expected outcome

Thermal anomalies and security events detected per-shift instead of per-quarter. Truck-rolls cut by half.

Runs as a continuous outcome

Held to a detection-coverage SLA — any drop in coverage raises an Autopilot signal before a fault trips the grid, feeding portfolio reliability health.

Install this pack, then graduate it into a continuous outcome from My Workflows — it earns autonomy (shadow → assisted → autonomous) as it proves itself on real telemetry.

Agent steps

  1. 1

    Perceive

    Captures thermal + visual of transformers, bushings, breakers and reads analog gauges.

  2. 2

    Navigate

    Drives/flies the yard patrol route while respecting energized-equipment standoff.

  3. 3

    Detect

    Finds hotspots, oil leaks, corrosion, open gates, and animal intrusion.

  4. 4

    Classify

    Grades each finding against IEEE thermal limits + security policy.

  5. 5

    Decide

    Auto-clear normals; raise a graded alarm or dispatch a crew for anomalies.

  6. 6

    Report & log

    Writes condition + evidence to the historian and Decision Log.

State Transformation

A formal contract: what this pack converts, with explicit uncertainty bounds and verification criteria.

Initial state

Unmanned substation with stale condition data and unverified physical security

Target state

Verified substation where thermal, mechanical, and security state are current and dispositioned

Invariants (must hold)

asset id resolvedenergized standoff heldevidence time + geo stamped

Uncertainty bounds (max acceptable error)

max_missed_hotspot≤ 2.0%
max_false_alarm≤ 8.0%

Verification: Patrol coverage complete + historian write + any anomaly work-ordered

Domain ontology — entities & states
