The complexity of power grid operations is increasing significantly due to a growing share of renewables, decentralization and interconnection of grid infrastructures, and new organizations such as energy communities. The rising level of complexity requires the continuous assessment of internal systems of grid equipment to ensure trouble-free operation and grid safety.

This is where grid control and monitoring devices come into play. As these sensitive outdoor electronics are so important to master the new challenges of grid operation, it’s crucial to carefully protect them against environmental impacts like moisture, dust and salt.

Technology-driven enterprise W. L. Gore & Associates, Inc. (Gore), renowned for their industry-leading products, presents a simple yet extremely effective solution to increase reliability of grid control and monitoring devices and thereby reduce grid failures:

GORE® Protective Vents enable pressure equalization through venting and provide best-in-class robustness and ingress protection for your control and monitoring devices. Other venting technologies have limits to protecting against the ingress of dust and moisture and are not as easily integrated as GORE® Protective Vents with which design changes are not necessary.
