R&D cooperation for AI-powered grid intelligence and medium-voltage fault location systems

Numanufacturing is developing intelligent fault location and grid monitoring technologies for medium-voltage distribution networks. The system combines travelling wave fault location principles, sensor fusion, high-speed signal acquisition, Edge AI and map-based field dispatch intelligence.

The goal is to help utilities detect, classify and localize faults faster, reduce outage duration and improve field response accuracy.

Potential project areas:

• Medium-voltage line fault detection

• Travelling Wave Fault Locator algorithm development

• AI-based fault classification

• Phase-to-ground, phase-to-phase and arc/spark fault analysis

• Sensor fusion for grid events

• Edge AI processing at substations or feeder points

• SCADA / utility software integration

• Map-based dispatch and maintenance workflows

• Predictive maintenance for distribution networks

Ideal partners:

• Electricity distribution companies

• Renewable energy operators

• Grid modernization companies

• Electrical engineering companies

• SCADA / GIS software providers

• Universities and power systems research labs

• Public energy agencies

• Infrastructure investors

Cooperation model:
We are open to R&D partnerships, pilot deployment, joint grant applications and commercial cooperation. A first project can be designed around one distribution feeder, one substation area or one renewable energy connection zone.

What we offer:

• Fault location system architecture

• Sensor fusion and Edge AI know-how

• TWFL algorithm development experience

• AI/ML-based signal classification

• Field dashboard and dispatch logic

• Industrial AI platform integration

What we are looking for:

• Utility pilot partners

• Grid data access for R&D

• Test sites

• Electrical engineering partners

• Regional integrators

• R&D funding cooperation

• Balkan energy sector partners
