Micromem Technologies Inc.:
Provides Update on MEMS-based Sensor Solution to
Detect Transformer Partial Discharge
***
Toronto, New York, November 12, 2014: Micromem
Technologies Inc.s (the Company) (CSE: MRM, OTCQX: MMTIF) wholly owned
subsidiary, Micromem Applied Sensor Technologies Inc. (MAST), announces further
to the Joint Development Agreement (JDA) announced December 11, 2013 (http://www.micromeminc.com/newsroom) with its American
based Utilities Company Client, the Company successfully demonstrated Stage Gate
Two of the Transformer Partial Discharge Proof of Concept (POC) and an invoice
for $200,000 USD was issued to the Client as an initial payment towards the
Contract. On October 30, 2014, a live demonstration of the POC MEMS-based Sensor
Solution to detect transformer partial discharge was successfully demonstrated
on the Clients targeted transformer following a client approved protocol. The
criteria to measure success were as follows:
- Demonstrate optical array acoustic, real-time detecton of partial
discharges
- Demonstrate the ability to localize partial discharges
- Demonstrate the ability to assign a severity to the detected partial
discharges
- Provide a visualization of partial discharges location
- Provide mobile reporting of alarms and events
- Provide the ability to store a history of time-stamped partial discharges
by location and by transformer
- All criteria were demonstrated successfully.
This is the first technology of its kind that is able to
measure the nanosecond partial discharge events with sensors installed in the
oil of a transformer. Current competitive technology attempts to detect and
localize partial discharges with devices installed on the metal housing of the
transformer. Our approach is more effective due to the radical difference in the
speed of sound in oil and in steel.

MAST patented sensors are located in the critical areas of a
transformer, directly in the oil and are designed to detect the partial
discharge event, measure the severity of the partial discharge and locate it
accurately so as to inform the user of the root cause of the partial discharge
and how to direct their maintenance effort.
Furthermore, the architecture provides commercialization
pathways (Stage Gate Three) for integrated transformer health monitoring and
monitoring of partial discharges in aging transformers.
Both Micromem and this Client are now working through the
logistics of an order for this technology for deployment within their network.
Further announcements are expected.
