Tailored power grid protection

Safeguard your power grid infrastructure from the expected and unexpected

The power grid is a vast network of power plants, power lines, and distribution centers that quietly power our modern lives and industries behind the scenes. Unfortunately, your company's critical role in this delicate sector often goes unnoticed until a major disruption occurs, such as the blackouts that devastated much of Texas in 2021.

As climate change intensifies and cyber threats loom over national security, the stability and reliability of the nation's electric grid and energy supply are more uncertain than ever. This uncertainty underscores the need for proactive power grid protection to safeguard against preventable threats like transient voltage events.

At DEHN, we specialize in solutions that protect and preserve the reliability of your power infrastructure. Our expertise in transient voltage protection helps minimize costly maintenance, repair work, and downtime, ensuring continuous operation and high power quality.

Behind the scenes: The hidden threat of transient voltage

Much like the systems supporting the power grid, transient voltage often flies under the radar until a significant issue occurs. However, these electrical disturbances pose a substantial threat to the stability and functionality of power grid systems.

Transient voltage, also known as overvoltage, can originate from various sources. External events like lightning strikes and grid-related voltage peaks are common culprits, sending unexpected surges of electrical energy through the network. On the flip side, internal transient voltage can be generated by routine operations within a system, such as switching activities or fault conditions, which create sudden spikes in voltage.

These internal and external transient events are unpredictable and can happen without warning, making them a hidden but pervasive threat to power grid infrastructure.

The impact of transient voltage on power grid infrastructure

The consequences of transient voltage on your power grid infrastructure are severe and far-reaching. Unmitigated transient events can lead to equipment failure, data loss, and electric system outages, disrupting the reliable supply of electricity. 

These disruptions can translate into significant financial losses due to downtime, reduced operational efficiency, and increased maintenance costs for both your business as well as companies and residential areas that depend on your ability to provide a consistent and stable power supply.

Damage to equipment from transient voltage not only leads to direct repair or replacement costs but also can reduce the lifespan of critical infrastructure components. Additionally, frequent or severe power outages can undermine customer confidence and satisfaction in your business. The cascading effects of these issues can seem never-ending, but luckily, with DEHN by your side, it’s a reality you don’t have to face.

While the threat of transient voltage is ever-present, addressing transient voltage risks proactively can help you avoid any negative outcomes even when it occurs. DEHN’s expert solutions are designed to protect electrical grid systems from these unpredictable events. Our goal is the operational continuity and reliability of your infrastructure by minimizing the risks associated with transient voltage.
