Automatic Real-Time Alerts: Tekniska verken Shares the Benefits of Digital Deviation Detection
Martin Persson, System Engineer in Measurement Technology at Tekniska verken Linköping Nät AB, uses the new Digital Deviation Detection module in Quant Insight from Embriq. His experience is clear: the system automatically monitors thousands of installations and sends alerts as soon as a fault is detected – long before it becomes a problem for customers.
Data-Driven Fault Management with Digital Deviation Detection
Previously, faults in the metering infrastructure could go unnoticed for a long time. These could include misregistered current transformers, incorrect power direction, or unexpected production that remained invisible until the consequences reached both the grid operator and end customers.
– It could take a long time before we found the fault, and by then it had already caused problems. That meant a lot of extra work and discussions with both customers and energy traders. Now it’s completely different. We get a warning the moment something deviates, says Martin.
With Digital Deviation Detection, the monitoring happens automatically. The module analyzes meter readings in real time and immediately signals when something is not as it should be.
Real-Time Alerts from Digital Deviation Detection Ensure More Reliable Operations
Martin describes how the module sends notifications as soon as a fault occurs. One example was when a phase was lost at a larger installation. Previously, this would have resulted in an incorrectly low bill, later corrected with an unexpected increase.
– Now we get a warning as soon as something is wrong. That means we can act immediately, and the customer never notices the issue. For us, it means less manual work – and for customers, it means a stable and fair delivery, he says.
Manually monitoring tens of thousands of metering points in real time is practically impossible. With Digital Deviation Detection, Tekniska verken gains an entirely new level of control. The system automatically monitors the entire grid, detects deviations in measurement data, and gives operators a clear overview of which installations are affected.
– The real value is that the system tells us when something is wrong, instead of us having to look for it. We get notifications immediately, which saves time and allows us to take the right action right away. It provides security for us as a grid company – and benefits our customers, says Martin.
Martin is clear that Digital Deviation Detection is already making a difference in daily operations.

– I would definitely recommend the module to other grid companies. It allows us to work more proactively, detect faults immediately, and avoid unnecessary discussions about measurement values and invoices. It’s a solution that benefits both us and our customers, he says.
About Tekniska verken
Tekniska verken in Linköping and Katrineholm ensure that everyday life runs smoothly. They manage the water in the tap, the electricity to the socket, the collection and treatment of waste, and the heat in district heating homes. Through significant investments, they continuously develop the systems that enable resources to be used even more efficiently – for the people living in their communities and for future needs. The reward is rarely visible immediately, but over time it grows greater than anything else.
Digital Deviation Detection in Quant Insight – The Next Step for Smart Grids
The launch of the module marks an important development for Quant Insight. By combining real-time monitoring with automatic alerts, grid companies gain a tool that creates both more efficient operations and higher customer satisfaction.
For Tekniska verken, the benefits are already clear – and for the industry as a whole, this is another step toward the intelligent power grid of the future.
