Kestrel

Kestrel is a collaboration between Create Innovation Solutions Ltd., Loughborough University, Queen’s University Belfast, ASH Wireless Electronics Ltd and Innovate UK.​

​

It’s a highly accurate timing system capable of facilitating the calculation of losses, fault detection and network event location using voltage phase angles and precision event timing measurements.​

​

The Smart solution provides an electronic measurement product to form a network of sparse remote low-cost monitoring for locating, visualising and where relevant producing time-profiles of: areas with poor access and security of supply; technical losses in real time; areas with high commercial losses; local carbon tracking; available and exceeded capacity, power factor, unbalance and harmonics; areas with under or over voltage; automatically generated network circuit connectivity and impedances; with locations of switching events, faults and overloaded circuits.
