Grid Optimization is Possible Today Leverage your smart metering infrastructure
Step 1: Smart Meters are just grid sensors at the edge
Step 2: With simple monitoring, gather vital health information at the
transformer, to see grid optimization benefits
Step 3: With meters or control nodes capable of digesting information,
get near real-time distributed intelligence for a proactive grid to predict
line failures before they occur.
