Discovering and mitigating potential safety concerns on your low-voltage distribution network is paramount. Having visibility into issues associated with outages and fires, energy theft and hot sockets can prevent catastrophic situations. Through the Safety Bundle, distributed intelligence applications such as High Impedance Detection, Meter Bypass Detection and Advanced Temperature Monitoring detect and locate poor electrical connections, discover meter tampering and energy diversion, and use high-resolution temperature readings to detect meter socket problems, respectively—all before they create a safety hazard or interrupt service. Learn how utilities are decreasing customer outage minutes, minimizing repair costs and field visits, ensuring customer safety and satisfaction, and positively impacting overall business processes with distributed intelligence applications.

Tampa Electric Company (TEC) has embarked on a strategic journey to enhance its Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) solution with a commitment to innovation, reliability, and community value through the “art of the possible” in utility operations. Leveraging Itron’s UIQ platform, TEC aims to achieve the next evolution of its AMI capabilities. In this session you will learn more about TEC’s transformation from the initial OpenWay Riva deployment, to their introduction to Distributed Intelligence, smart cities initiatives, and their vision for the future, including the move to Itron’s UIQ solution leveraging the Gen5 network. 

The grid is becoming increasingly dynamic and complex — and our customers are on the forefront of this evolution. While some utilities have established smart metering programs already, others are newly embarking on the grid edge and distributed intelligence by reinventing their meter-to-cash solutions. Whether these deployments are driven by regulations or sought after based on the awarding of federal grants, knowing how to build a business case (and what that entails) in order to support a rate case is critical to success. Attend this session and hear perspectives from utilities in various stages of their distributed intelligence journeys to better understand how they justified the value, developed strategies, prioritized use cases, evaluated applications and began executing their deployments.

When it comes to managing growing electrification and residential DERs, challenges that define today’s utility operations, the need for customer satisfaction and efficient grid planning becomes paramount. To meet expectations, AMI 2.0 vendors like Itron Riva make more resolutions of data available than ever before, enabling different use cases. Given that AMI 2.0 deployments require massive investments, this showcases the need for specialized analytics vendors who can turn a growing variety of data streams into demonstrable value for regulators and consumers. Experience the journey of Hydro One implementing a data-driven approach to validating the heightened value of these data streams for grid planning and customer engagement, leveraging AMI 2.0 and NET2GRID EnergyAI™ technology. 

Riva and its grid-edge applications form the backbone of Hydro One’s grid modernization strategy. They leverage NET2GRID EnergyAI™ for household consumption insights and DER awareness capabilities on both AMI 1.0 and 2.0 data, maximizing their data utilization throughout this transition. In the AMI 2.0 context, there is AMI 1.0-style day-late interval data, as well as edge-compute power for real-time DER awareness, and streaming that enables a real-time view into customers’ whole-home and EV energy consumption. 

Upon activating customers with day-late services, some will upgrade to the real-time journey, enriching their experience while also helping the utility manage the grid more effectively. As customers onboard their home Wi-Fi, they activate their real-time data journey, unlocking customer engagement as a pivotal tool in grid management. Hydro One can leverage the real-time streaming of data to build customer-facing services and non-wires alternatives that manage grid capacity while driving energy efficiency goals. 

This comprehensive guide is designed for utilities at any stage in their AMI journey, illuminating the diverse benefits offered by AMI 2.0 technology and third-party DI and AMI analytics applications.

Wildfire threats, intense storms, changing load profiles, an aging population and the increased reliance on electricity due to EVs, AI and natural gas moratoriums are key business drivers to ensure that outages are minimized and quickly mitigated. By combining grid edge intelligence use cases such as high-performance ping, location awareness, advanced transformer load monitoring, outage identification analysis and services, advanced outage awareness can be realized. Learn how utilities are enhancing their outage management programs through best practices that are ultimately leading to key benefits including SAIDI/CAIDI reduction, accurate customer notifications, reduced patrol time and staging points for storm preparations, faster outage identification/restoration, predictable O&M requirements and higher customer satisfaction.

Many utilities currently lack real-time visibility into the secondary distribution grid network. Having this real-time insight at the edge is critical as the grid is more dynamic due to the increasing penetration of EV charging and solar generation, and as you are asked to extract more out of existing grid assets. In addition, having continuous awareness of your device’s electrical connectivity in relation to other grid assets provides the ability to monitor and control your secondary distribution network more effectively. Through the Transformer Awareness Bundle, distributed intelligence applications such as Advanced Transformer Load Monitoring, Advanced Transformer Voltage Monitoring, Location Awareness and Virtual RTU/DNP3 Gateway provide real-time information and detection of distribution transformer events (specifically loading and voltage), enable ADMS management and the protection of distribution transformers, minimize repair costs and enhance reliability, resiliency and predictability. Learn how utilities are monitoring their transformers in real-time and gaining valuable, actionable insights that lead to discovering additional use cases.

Itron’s Grid Edge Intelligence portfolio is a comprehensive, integrated, end-to-end suite of solutions that unlock the power of data within a utility’s service territory – at the edge, in the neighborhood transformer, and at the substation. Learn how our grid edge intelligence-based platform and solutions support utilities’ needs to decarbonize, increase reliability and sustainability, and enhance consumer engagement by providing pre-integrated solutions that build upon existing AMI infrastructure to provide real-time visibility and management of distribution loads.

Utilities are now integrating high-bandwidth grid edge intelligence (from the substation to behind-the-meter) with Advanced Distribution Management Systems (ADMS) (from the transmission grid to the substation). This integration means that utilities have visibility into and control of distributed energy resource management systems (DERMS), virtual power plants (VPPs) and other applications. This session will provide the following takeaways:

•Hear about the key challenges that utilities face today due to lack of visibility

•Learn how ADMS plus grid edge intelligence enables grid operators to gain greater situational awareness and real-time insights with key measurements and notifications

•Understand how this integration delivers value to customers across multiple business units, including infrastructure investment, grid planning, operations and asset management
