MUMBAI, India, Jan. 23 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511124488 A) filed by Chandigarh University, Mohali, Punjab, on Dec. 10, 2025, for 'transformer health capsule.'
Inventor(s) include Rinku; Anupam Sharma; Pratistha Pankaj Tewari; Dhruv Sharma; and Harsh Panwar.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 23, under issue no. 04/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to an AI-powered Internet of Things (IoT) system for real-time condition monitoring and predictive maintenance of power transformers. The system integrates multi-modal sensors for measuring thermal, acoustic, mechanical, electrical, and environmental parameters, and an edge-processing unit that performs local machine-learning inference for anomaly detection, fault classification, and health assessment without reliance on continuous cloud processing. A wireless communication module securely transmits diagnostic summaries, alerts, and transformer health indices to remote dashboards or SCADA interfaces. A predictive analytics engine further correlates real-time and historical data to estimate component degradation and remaining useful life (RUL), enabling timely maintenance decisions. The disclosed invention provides a scalable, low-power, and cyber-secure monitoring solution compatible with new and legacy transformers, thereby reducing failures, minimizing downtime, and enhancing grid reliability."
