In this T&D World Quick Chat, Yacine Mallem, Business Development Manager at ABB, explains how artificial intelligence is advancing digital substations through predictive fault analysis. Viewers will learn how ABB’s CogniEN EDGE AI solution uses machine learning and existing substation data to identify anomalies that traditional protection relays may not detect before causing equipment degradation or outages.

Mallem discusses the infrastructure needed to implement AI-driven fault prediction, including digital substations and centralized protection systems, without necessarily requiring additional sensors. He also demonstrates how the solution’s dashboard helps operators monitor substations, identify potential fault locations and root causes, and assess fault probabilities up to seven to ten days in advance.

Watch this video now to discover how these insights support predictive maintenance, reduce unplanned downtime, improve equipment reliability, and help utilities plan maintenance more effectively.
