A New Level of Precision in Fault Detection for the Metering Infrastructure
Traditionally, many faults in the metering infrastructure have been detected by coincidence, often long after they occurred. This leads to increased costs, more administration, and – not least – frustrated end customers. At the same time, grid operators already possess enormous amounts of valuable data from their smart meters – information that too often goes unused.
– We’ve long seen the need for a solution that helps grid operators uncover customer value from the vast amounts of data they already have. With Digital Deviation Detection, we make it possible to work proactively, reduce faults, and create security – for both grid operators and their customers, continues David.
Common Faults in the Metering Infrastructure That Are Now Detected Automatically
-
Overheating in fuses
-
Incorrectly measured installations
-
Misregistered current transformers
-
Incorrect power direction
-
Unexpected production
Previously, manually analyzing metering data from thousands of installations was far too time-consuming and costly. Now, it happens automatically, continuously, and with high precision.
Benefits of Digital Deviation Detection for Your Grid Company
With the new module, grid companies gain an entirely new way of working. Faults are detected immediately, reducing the need for time-consuming fieldwork. Operators also get a full overview within the system of what types of faults have been identified, allowing targeted and efficient corrective actions. This minimizes the need for retroactive handling of metering data and billing, and makes it possible to reduce incorrect network losses.
For the end customer, this means fewer interruptions, accurate billing, and a more reliable everyday experience. Altogether, it leads to better resource utilization and a more stable power supply.
– Digital Deviation Detection deliver immediate value from day one. It frees up resources, reduces errors, and improves quality across the entire value chain. In short: this functionality takes energy efficiency and operational methods to the next level – and strengthens the grid industry, Westerlund continues.
