Achieving Real-time Transformer Visibility & Awareness
Many utilities currently lack real-time visibility into the secondary distribution grid network. Having this visibility is critical as the grid gets 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. Through the Transformer Awareness Bundle, distributed intelligence applications such as Active Transformer Load Monitoring, Active 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 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.
