The complex project has multiple objectives with a strong scientific and technical character. They are aligned with the economic and social requirements of the European space. We fully respect the strategies of the national CEEX program and PT17.

We develop concepts and theories for efficient network surveillance. We offer reliable monitoring solutions and advanced technical diagnostics. The ultimate goal is to create a truly intelligent energy system.

• We are developing new calculation methods for the sizes of isolated passages.
• We create a complex mathematical modeling for determining vital signs.
• We carry out the software implementation of all proposed theoretical mathematical solutions.
• We produce an online data acquisition and processing package.
• We create communication programs for secure transfer to a PC.
• We are developing a useful procedure for calibrating monitoring equipment.
• We draft a complete equipment analysis and diagnosis procedure.

Applying the results leads to the correct identification of the economic loading conditions in the system. We considerably minimize the huge risks of premature equipment failure. We reliably estimate the remaining life of the evaluated equipment. We carefully plan the decommissioning of any worn-out asset in advance.

We extend the lifespan through optimal decisions and cost-effective strategies. We improve performance and ensure high reliability of the electrical installation. We substantially and irreversibly minimize long-term operating costs. We save important resources by eliminating any unplanned and costly maintenance.

We optimize the rapid procurement of spare parts for competitive productivity. We achieve correct risk management. We search for hidden data to predict the future through data mining techniques.

The main potential users are the major players in the national energy system. We are talking about large companies such as Transelectrica, Electrica, Hidroelectrica and Termoelectrica. We are massively disseminating our knowledge among the academic community in Romania.
