Network Monitoring – Our Approach
This is not another monitoring project – collecting the data is a means
to informing the other elements of the project

Installations
What’s next?
• Complete installation of monitoring
equipment
• Establish “iHost” database mining &
reporting tools
What is the future of
network monitoring?
• Plug-n-play functionality?
• Commencement of early data analysis
• Transformer load only?
• Trial installations of DTR to 33kV OHL and
• Smart MDI’s?
Primary transformers
• Trial installations of flexible network
automation
• Local processing of data?
• Data optimisation?
