IoT devices for grids that enhance energy efficiency, reduce costs and boost renewables

End-to-end IoT deployment into the grid for 24/7 intelligent monitoring; battery-free IoT devices with integrated sensors that monitor any asset of the grid: conductor, transformer, substation, or tower. Data gathered and grid analytics allow grid operators to avoid accidents, increase renewable energy dispatching and save costs. This device uses a patented piezoelectric energy harvesting technology.

The need

The maintenance and operation of the power grid remains dangerous, inefficient and expensive. Issues of energy loss, power outages, accidents, bird electrocution, integration with renewable sources, and redundant maintenance to assure power reliability must be addressed. 

The solution

An end-to-end IoT solution for 24/7 intelligent monitoring that uses self-powered IoT devices with integrated sensors that monitor any grid asset: conductor, transformer, substation, or tower. Grid analytics allow grid operators to avoid accidents, increase renewable energy dispatching, and reduce costs. There is also a solution using AI and a magnetic field to avoid bird electrocution. Devices use a patented piezoelectric energy harvesting technology.

The value proposition

  • Maintenance and operation cost reduction.
  • Autonomous intelligence for a smarter grid.
  • Predictive maintenance.
  • Dynamic line rating (DLR) and renewable sources integration.
  • Detection and avoidance of accidents and fraud.
  • Detection and avoidance of power cuts, improving reliability as per the SAIDI index.
  • Bird protection for electrocution accidents.
