Knowledge-Based Firm in Iran Produces, Indigenizes 19 Products for Electricity Industry
Mehdi Davarpanah, the founder of the knowledge-based company, stated that now the company has designed 19 technological products completely indigenously and has industrialized them.
“A number of these products have been manufactured for specific applications and on a case-by-case basis, and 10 products are in the mass-production or semi-mass-production stage which meet all or most demands of Iran’s power generation industry,” he noted.
Davarpahan said that the technologies used in these products include two categories of hardware and software, adding, “In the field of hardware, the use of new generation processors, measuring circuits with 18 and 24 bit accuracy, compatible and resistant circuits against noises and electric and magnetic fields, circuits for amplifying and attenuating AC and DC signals, and finally, circuits for generating and injecting high-precision currents in a wide frequency range with various control modes are among the technologies used by our company.”
He described protective relays for detecting short circuit incidents in the electrical network with the ‘HAFEZ’ brand and testing and troubleshooting devices used in high voltage substations as two products of his company.
Earlier, researchers at another knowledge-based company in Iran had also developed a practical software to find defects in the power transmission lines.
“We have developed a software that is able to detect more than 80 types of faults in power transmission lines,” said Zahra Attari, a representative of the knowledge-based company.
Noting that identification of defects in power transmission lines by this software is carried out via using artificial intelligence algorithms, she said, “The software will provide operators with a complete report of defects in power plants after troubleshooting and monitors power towers in a short period of time, finding the faults accurately.”
Attari said that at present, regional electricity companies and Iran Power Generation and Transmission Company (TAVANIR) are using this software.
