POWER OUTAGE IS NOT A MAINTENANCE OPTION

The Wilorton Automated Advanced & Washing System (AWS) is a game-changer. It effectively eliminates flashover incidents caused by polluted insulators on energized lines, significantly reducing network outages. This means you can rely on a more stable power supply without the need for downtime associated with repair and traditional cleaning methods. The AWS system is your key to operational excellence and optimized maintenance budgets through efficient resource allocation.

Our Energized Insulators Washing Systems ensure network reliability by cleaning the insulators' pollutants buildup on any glass, ceramic, composite and polymeric, and RTV coated insulators.

With us, you're not just a customer; you're a partner in ensuring uninterrupted power.

AUTOMATED WASHING SYSTEM SCOPE:
Eliminate days or weeks of planned or unplanned maintenance outages for insulators' cleaning, de-energizing the substation equipment, workforce mobilization, and repair costs. Thus, eliminating losses of power production, revenues, and turnover, improving overall CAIDI-CAIFI-SAIDI-SAIFI Indexes.

AUTOMATED WASHING SYSTEM (AWS) OUTLINE:
AWS equipment: Pumping station with high-pressure electric pump, demineralized water storage tank, water distribution pipeline, electro-mechanical controls, including anemometer to check the wind direction and speed, and a control panel.

The AWS control system checks pre-defined parameters such as the water storage level, water resistivity/conductivity, wind speed and direction, and electromechanical system efficiency.
The AWS parameters are user-programmable.

The pollutant type and build-up rate dictate the water pressure, washing time, and frequency. Water pressure and washing time parameters are determined during the AWS design, test, and commissioning. Demineralized water with minimum permissible conductivity is required.

Cleaning Frequency may vary depending on the degree of contamination, the weather conditions, and the insulator design. The automatic washing cycles are user-programmable.

HYBRID Advanced Live-Line Polluted Insulator Washing Systems

Eliminates Current Leakages and Flashovers in MV-HV-EHV POWER GRIDS AND GANTRY PARKS INFRASTRUCTURES.

Clean insulators without a power outage.

Wilorton Hybrid Advanced Washing System grants zero flashovers (caused by polluted insulators), reducing network outages, eliminating repair time and maintenance costs, attains operational excellence, reduces downtime risk, ensures personnel safety, and achieves financial efficiency by optimizing the maintenance budget.

Our Energized Insulators Washing Systems ensure network reliability by washing away the insulators' pollutants buildup on any glass, ceramic, composite and polymeric, and RTV coated insulators.

Installing a HYBRID WASHING SYSTEM reduces overall CAIDI-CAIFI-SAIDI-SAIFI Indexes.

Customer Average Interruption Duration Index (CAIDI) indicates the average time required to restore service during a predefined period.

The electric distribution System's Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI): Indicates the length of time all customers would have been out of power if the total number of hours out of service in a year were to be shared. It is typically measured in minutes.

Customer Average Interruption Frequency Index (CAIFI): Measures the average number of interruptions per customer interrupted per year. It is simply the number of interruptions that occurred divided by the number of customers affected by the interruptions.

The System Average Interruption Frequency Index (SAIFI) is the average number of service interruptions experienced by a customer in a year. The index is computed based on the methodology in the DB16-20 studies.

HYBRID WASHING SYSTEM SCOPE:
Eliminating maintenance outages for insulators' cleaning (De-energizing the equipment), repair costs, and improving the income statement from the loss of turnover, preventing power outages caused by polluted insulators.

HYBRID WASHING SYSTEM OUTLINE:
HYBRID washing system requires the installation of water rigid piping with stainless steel quick coupler installed in a coupling box at the structure base, connecting to the mobile washer high-pressure flexible hose.
Simultaneous wash of energized insulators mounted on a Tower-Tubular pole or Gantry in 15/25/60 seconds depending on the tower configuration. The water envelopes and swamps all energized insulators in one surge.
Washing effectiveness is limited by wind speed. High washing rates are achieved with calm or low-speed wind conditions.
