Energy & Utilities

For substations, transformers, solar, and grid.

KenGen IPPs in the Rift Valley, Eskom contractors across Mpumalanga, Nigerian DisCos in Abuja, ONEE solar farms in Ouarzazate. Energy in Africa is a distributed asset estate where a single failed bushing in a 100MVA transformer is a regional outage and a SAIDI metric. Comiine treats the grid as a tree, the substation as a sub-tree, and the relay test as a recurrent obligation.

What breaks today

The pains we hear in every demo.

Distributed substation maintenance is a coordination problem

Forty substations across two provinces, six teams, three contractors. Who tests which relay, when, and where is the evidence?

Transformer oil DGA is condition-based, not calendar-based

A dissolved-gas analysis showing ethylene rising at 5ppm/month needs a PM trigger now, not in six months. Calendar-based CMMS miss the inflection.

Solar PV inverter degradation is invisible until yield drops

A 1.5MW inverter that has lost 4% capacity is still operational. Without meter history, yield reports reveal it months later — long after the energy is lost.

How Comiine fits

Built for your reality, not a slide.

GIS-aware ltree asset hierarchy

Region → substation → bay → bushing. Click the bay, see every asset under it. The map is a tree; the tree is the map.

Condition-based PM on DGA, IR, and partial-discharge

Meter sources for oil chemistry, infrared scan results, and PD measurements. Threshold breaches auto-generate inspection WOs.

Recurring relay-test PM with NERSA-format evidence

Relay test schedules per IEEE C57. Pass/fail captured in-app. Evidence exports in the format NERSA, NERC, or EPRA expect.

An illustrative day with Comiine

What changes on Monday morning.

A protection engineer at an Abuja DisCo opens the substation tree at 07:30. Bay 12 of Substation Kubwa-2 shows a Degraded protection relay — last test failed on instantaneous overcurrent. The corrective WO is drafted, the contractor team in Kubwa notified via WhatsApp link, the test re-scheduled for that afternoon. NERSA evidence: already prepared.
