Utilities need digital solutions to help them become more resilient, improve operational efficiency to drive performance and support the acceleration of decarbonisation to meet evolving sustainability goals.
Designed to meet these needs and help you future-proof your grid operations, Eaton provides a full complement of planning, security, performance and remote access automation solutions. This portfolio of digital solutions is designed to help utilities maintain a reliable, resilient grid, while meeting customer and regulatory demands and helping to speed the integration of renewables required to support the energy transition.
While the industry is making the necessary investments to improve reliability, the metrics are not improving in many areas. What’s required is a commitment to operating differently, including a new approach to the role of data in grid management.
Many of these opportunities lie at the grid edge, where steep demand growth is happening. With this growth, utilities are beginning to move from a passive grid to a more responsive one that offers both situational awareness at the edge and decentralised decision-making.
By leveraging new solutions to track and monitor secondary substation fleets, utilities can discover new opportunities for remote management and control. They can also manage the interoperability between legacy and modern devices and improve grid efficiency by integrating a centralised system with edge devices.
Visit Eaton’s Grid Edge platform to learn more about our digital solutions to address some of today’s toughest challenges: situational awareness and control, managing data from edge devices and monitoring performance in transformer vaults.
