DNV GL Smart Cable Guard. A medium voltage network that is monitored by a fully automated system which immediately gives a warning when problems arise. This is a dream long held by many grid operators. Part of this dream is now realized by Smart Cable Guard® (SCG). SCG is a unique monitoring system developed by DNV GL in cooperation with the Technology Foundation of the Dutch government and Dutch grid operators.

Why does the project matter?
People are relying on electricity and demand is growing
Human society is depending more on
energy than ever before
Electrification is increasing and demand
is growing
Decentralized electricity production
stresses the electricity cable networks
Network assets are ageing
Digitalization and new technologies push
strategies to better manage present and
upcoming demands and societal needs
Governmental and regulatory bodies
introduce mechanisms to increase the
security of supply

How does it work?
Smart Cable Guard combines advanced technology with the
endless opportunities from digitalization
Unique Patented
2 in 1 monitoring
Detecting mechanisms leading to
outages
Monitors cable sections end-to-
end to detect risk of failures
Locates location of potential risk
or failure
Combines sensors, signal
patterns and digital technology

Smart grid &
Digitalization
Smart Cable Guard creates “eyes
and ears”
Smart Cable Guard generates
data sessions to help understand
and enable
Analytics &
Machine Learning

What will it accomplish?
Smart Cable Guard helps to secure and improve security of supply
Insight and control
Proactive – prevent before failure
Reactive – reduce outage time
Commercial return
Reduction of unplanned repair
Faster restoring
Utilise network assets
Optimize investment scheme
Human
Reliability of energy supply
Safety in city centre's
Better control

What does the project require to be scaled?
The more cables are monitored globally, the better we can prepare
to manage failures before they happen
Challenges and Drivers
Financial risk (penalty's systems for network
owners, cost industrial outages)
Public safety (city centre public safety,
industrial processes)
Publicity and reputation (reputation damage
or boost, negative or positive)
5
Customer cable networks monitored locally
Remote monitoring
supporting customers globally
Global insight
Smart Cable Guard acts on its own, but the
digital nature of the system will improve its
value the more systems are monitored
Industry and Utilities that foster and
support a digital strategy and smarter
operations
Safeguarding your electricity supply

How can you get involved?
You can get involved and start using Smart Cable Guard
If you want to realise a
condition based operations
and avoid negative publicity
If you have customers
depending on your electricity
supply
When you see electrification
taking place and want to avoid
black-outs
If you have a cable network
and want to reduce OPEX and
CAPEX
