Instant tracking of gas parameters
Continuous, real-time measurement of SF₆ density, pressure, and temperature.
The Strategic Necessity of Digitalization
Today, the management of high-voltage infrastructure can no longer rely on reactive logic. Relying on periodic checks means exposing oneself to the risk of blackouts and penalties. Transitioning to a proactive approach is fundamental and rests on two pillars:
Continuous Monitoring: The 24/7 guardian of your plant
An untiring system that watches over your equipment like an ever-open eye:
- Detects anomalies in real-time: Instantly identifies where and what the problem is.
- Prevents failures: Allows you to act promptly before anomalies turn into critical damage.
- Enables smart maintenance: Eliminates unscheduled downtime, allowing routine maintenance to be planned cost-effectively.
Data Collection: Turning data into action
- Analyze and understand trends: Learn from history to predict the future behavior of the plant.
- Accelerate troubleshooting: Having precise data available means identifying and resolving faults much faster.
- Predictive maintenance: Stay one step ahead of unforeseen events thanks to accurate, updated information.
Why Choose F-GREEN: The Triple Benefit of Our Patented System
F-GREEN, Synecom’s patented monitoring system, is the definitive technological solution for smart SF₆ management. In a single platform, it surgically addresses the three main challenges of the sector:
- Environment: Absolute Leak Prevention
The primary objective of F-GREEN is the zeroing of ecological risk. The system uses latest-generation sensors to monitor the four critical parameters of SF₆ in real-time: pressure, compartment temperature, density, and dew point. The real revolution lies in our proprietary algorithm: by reprocessing this data, the system predicts the leak trend in advance.
- Law: Regulatory Compliance and Automated Safety
The current regulatory landscape leaves no room for errors or delays. F-GREEN acts as a true legal shield, automating event tracking and data management:
Automatic reporting: Independently generates documentation perfectly aligned with the strictest European directives, including EU Regulations 2024/573, 1191/2014, and the Italian D.P.R. 146/2018.
Smart alarms: Supported by comprehensive self-diagnostics, the system uses a visual “traffic light” logic. It instantly identifies and signals the criticality level of the anomaly (early fault alerts), ensuring your team can intervene without undue delay.
- Grid Maintenance: Integrity and Continuity
F-GREEN does not just record anomalies; it actively protects the health and quality of your assets, optimizing operational costs.
Zero blackouts: Accurate and continuous analysis of parameters prevents the degradation of internal components and avoids sudden outages, avoiding extremely expensive emergency repairs.
F-GREEN: The Eye That Never Sleeps
More than simple software, F-GREEN is a permanent guardian that watches over your infrastructure 24/7. It never stops, continuously scanning the plant and intercepting every single micro-leak or hidden vulnerability before it can cause an electrical outage.

Moisture monitoring (Dew Point)
Constant supervision of the dew point inside the compartment to safeguard the dielectric insulation of the gas.
3
Predictive annual leak calculation
Advanced mathematical projection that estimates the annual leak rate by analyzing dynamic density and mass variations.
4
Customizable alarm thresholds
Independent configuration of multi-level alarms to define custom safety margins for each specific installation.
5
Integrated smart maintenance
A dedicated environment to plan ordinary and extraordinary maintenance, with the option to temporarily exclude affected channels to eliminate false alarms during works.
6
Multi-level access and privileges
Operational security locked by three strict levels of authority:
- Level 1 – User: Read-only data consultation and historical trend visualization.
- Level 2 – Supervisor: Configuration of operational thresholds and management of temporary exclusions for maintenance.
- Level 3 – Synecom: Full administrative access for deep diagnostics and advanced system calibration.
The traffic light logic: Plant status at a glance
To make 24/7 monitoring immediately understandable, the F-GREEN software translates complex data into an instant visual interface. Integrated directly into the dynamic layout of your network, this traffic light matrix allows operators to evaluate the situation in a fraction of a second:
🟢 Green Status – Maximum Efficiency: All parameters are perfectly stable. The gas is dry, pressure is optimal, and the asset operates in full regulatory compliance.
🟠 Orange Status – Pre-Alarm / Warning: One or more parameters show a deviation from nominal thresholds. This is the first warning sign: the system identifies the exact origin of a potential anomaly, offering weeks of advance notice to plan a targeted intervention before it turns into a real problem.
🔴 Red Status – Critical Alarm / Trip: A parameter has exceeded the critical safety threshold. The system immediately signals an emergency condition or activates interlock contacts for safety shutdown (Trip), preventing severe damage or catastrophic equipment failure.
🟡 Yellow Status – Self-Diagnostics: F-GREEN monitors itself with the same rigor with which it watches over your plant. The yellow color indicates an internal anomaly (such as a communication problem or an anomaly on a sensor channel), ensuring that the control system is always 100% reliable.
Frequently Asked Question
What you need to know
For specific requirements, contact our engineering team
What specific information do I need to share to request an accurate F-GREEN quote?
To allow our engineering team to formulate a tailored technical and economic proposal, please provide the following project specifications:
Single-line diagram: Complete with voltage levels and the type of primary equipment involved (GIS, AIS, HVDC cable terminations, or particle accelerators).
Compartment layout and distances: The spatial layout and physical distance between individual gas compartments, necessary to correctly size cable runs and network architecture.
Type of service valves: The exact model and type of gas connection valves currently installed on your assets.
System logic (Selective vs. Non-Selective): Specify whether the system must integrate into the substation’s trip circuits via an ultra-fast fiber optic loop for active fault isolation (Selective Configuration) or if it should operate purely as a diagnostic tool via a standard serial/copper Modbus line (Non-Selective Configuration).
Remote connectivity requirements: Clarify whether data must be integrated exclusively into the local substation control room or centralized on external multi-site systems and mobile platforms.
Environmental exposure: The exact split of indoor vs. outdoor compartments, essential for quoting the necessary weather-protective enclosures.
Data for the predictive algorithm: The exact gas volume and nominal SF₆ pressure for each individual compartment.
Does the installation of F-GREEN require a substation shutdown?
From a mechanical standpoint, absolutely not. Installing F-GREEN never requires gas evacuation or decommissioning of the compartments. The system connects directly to the existing 3-way service valves on the asset, operating in total safety while the equipment remains fully pressurized and in service.
Regarding electrical integration and commissioning, the need for a scheduled maintenance window depends solely on your safety protocols:
Live access: If site conditions allow safe access to auxiliary panels under live conditions, the entire configuration can be completed with zero grid disruptions.
Safety loop integration: If the system must be wired directly into active trip circuits (Selective Logic), activities are coordinated and scheduled during your internal maintenance windows.
How does the predictive algorithm differentiate a real leak from environmental pressure variations?
SF₆ gas is extremely sensitive to climatic factors: it naturally expands and contracts based on ambient temperature and solar radiation. F-GREEN’s predictive algorithm neutralizes these variables by calculating the density and absolute mass of the gas in real-time, rather than just pressure. Because the software mathematically normalizes the data, knowing the exact thermodynamic behavior of SF₆, the risk of false alarms is completely zeroed—both during summer heatwaves and winter frosts. The system activates only and exclusively when it detects a real physical leak.
How does the F-GREEN predictive algorithm concretely calculate and forecast gas leaks?
Instead of passively registering a history of events, F-GREEN’s algorithm mathematically models the future evolution of the plant. By constantly cross-referencing millesimal variations in density with the geometric volume and total gas mass of each individual compartment, the software isolates and eliminates normal daily thermal oscillations. On this clean data baseline, the algorithm generates a dynamic trendline that projects the decay rate of the gas over time, calculating exactly how many days or months remain before reaching a warning or danger threshold.
