Oil Condition Monitoring for Utilities Equipment
Reduce service costs, extend equipment life, and improve reliability across utility networks with real-time oil condition monitoring.
Utility providers depend on uninterrupted performance from gensets, pumps, turbines, and switchgear systems. These assets often run continuously or cycle under load, where oil degradation and mechanical wear can quickly escalate into failure.
Tan Delta’s real-time oil condition monitoring helps reliability teams detect issues before failure, optimise maintenance intervals, and reduce service costs—all while improving network uptime and asset longevity.
Catch early signs of oil issues and reduce service disruptions.
Use real-time oil condition data to extend or shift service intervals safely.
Lower oil use, minimise labour, and reduce emergency part replacements.
Monitor high-value assets like gensets, pumps, and switchgear systems.
Reduce waste oil volumes and unnecessary part consumption.
Act on live data trends instead of relying on fixed schedules or visual inspections.
Tan Delta sensors are used by water utilities, electricity distributors, and backup power operators. They help prevent failure in remote assets, extend oil life in critical systems, and reduce reactive maintenance costs.
Tan Delta’s real-time oil monitoring system is designed for critical utility equipment. It integrates with remote and distributed systems, providing maintenance teams with actionable data to reduce failures, lower costs, and maintain uptime.
Real-time oil condition analysis for fixed installations in standard and hazardous environments.
Pre-configured kits with sensors, displays, and cabling — engineered for quick install into engines, gearboxes, hydraulics, and rotating equipment.
Displays, gateways, and manifolds for integration, readout, and remote monitoring in any environment.
How does oil condition monitoring help in utility operations?
It provides real-time visibility into oil degradation, contamination, and wear, helping detect faults early and extend equipment service life.
What utility equipment is it compatible with?
The system is compatible with generators, pumps, transformers, switchgear, hydraulics, and rotating equipment using lubricating oils.
What kind of faults can it detect?
The system can detect thermal degradation, soot and fuel dilution, water ingress, and early-stage mechanical wear—well before failure occurs.
Can it integrate with SCADA or plant control systems?
Yes. Oil condition data can be accessed via SCADA, PLCs, dashboards, or cloud platforms depending on your site setup.
What is the TDN Value?
TDN (Tan Delta Number) is a single real-time value that represents overall oil condition. It is calculated from the sensor’s raw data and allows users to track oil health and rate of change over time. TDN enables data-driven decisions on when to service or replace oil.
How do I view the oil condition data in the field?
Data can be displayed in-cab, sent to mobile devices, or viewed remotely via Tan Delta’s online platform, depending on your integration setup.
How is the data accessed?
Data is available through on-site controllers or remotely via cloud dashboards, SCADA systems, or integrated control panels.
