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.
