The energy transition and the rise of e-mobility pose new challenges for grid operators
The increasing electrification of our society is putting growing demands on low-voltage grids. To ensure efficient grid expansion and operation, distribution system operators need to understand how and where load patterns are changing.
To successfully master the energy transition, robust and large-scale data acquisition from the low-voltage grid is therefore essential.
The SMIGHT solution
SMIGHT Grid2 addresses this need by using patented sensor technology and IoT communication to measure current and voltage in secondary substations and cable distribution cabinets. This enables grid operators to identify—on a large scale, in real time, and with geographical reference—where their low-voltage grids are reaching capacity limits.
And this across all operational areas:
- Strategic grid planning based on real data
- Renewal of grid assets
- Accurate load management
- Assessment of grid connection requests
- Detection and documentation of cable faults
- Operational decision-making based on reliable data
With SMIGHT Grid2, grid operators create the foundation for optimal grid utilization and a successful energy transition.
