Electrical asset management · ISO 55001

Engineering certainty for the assets that keep the power on.

KIGG Energy Labs helps power utilities and electricity-intensive industry manage their HV and MV assets to ISO 55001: diagnostic testing, asset health indexing, digital twins and the investment decisions that follow.

Why it matters

Depreciation tells you what an asset cost. It cannot tell you how close it is to failing.

Book value is not condition

A 25-year-old transformer can be fully depreciated and still have years of service left, or be one through-fault from failure. Straight-line depreciation cannot tell the two apart.

Calendar maintenance spends in the wrong places

Time-based schedules give a healthy breaker and a failing one the same attention. Crews and shutdown windows go where the calendar says, not where the risk is.

Capex justified on age alone

Replacement plans built on nameplate age are hard to defend before a board or a regulator, and they miss the young assets that are already degrading.

An unplanned failure of a large power transformer means a replacement measured in crores and a lead time measured in months. Knowing which unit is next is worth more than either.

How we work

Baseline once. Keep the picture current every year.

1

We baseline

A gap assessment, a clean asset register and a first test campaign establish where every asset stands today.

2

We index and rank

Every asset gets a health index, a probability of failure and a consequence score. The risk ranking shows where the next rupee should go.

3

We stay on

An annual programme of repeat campaigns, online monitoring where justified and a digital twin that updates with every test, so the index never goes stale.

Field record

Work in live substations, not slideware.

STATE TRANSMISSION UTILITY · SOUTH INDIA

Health index model for a 400/220 kV substation

Asset health scoring built on CIGRE TB 858 and TB 761, aligned with the utility's own maintenance checklists.

NATIONAL GRID OPERATOR · CENTRAL ASIA

Technical inspection of 40 substations

Condition inspection across 33 substations at 110 kV and 7 at 35 kV.

RAILWAY OPERATOR · WEST COAST, INDIA

Engagement at a railway traction substation, where a transformer outage stops trains.

Our roots

Built by people who make test equipment.

KIGG Systems India is the Indian subsidiary of KIGG, a British company certified to ISO 9001:2015. Since 2000 it has designed relay test kits, energy meter test benches and injection test sets for India's utilities. That instrumentation background is why our health indices rest on measurements we know how to take.

KIGG's manufacturing facility

Start with one substation or one plant.

A fixed-scope ISO 55001 gap assessment and health index baseline on a single site. You see the method on your own assets before you commit to a programme.
