Grid edge intelligence: Empowering utilities with greater visibility, control & connectivity
Resiliency, consumer engagement, sustainability, load management and distributed energy resource orchestration start with managing the distribution network through grid edge intelligence.
In an exclusive interview with Itron’s Don Reeves, Senior Vice President, Outcomes and John Marcolini, Senior Vice President, Networks, we learn about the challenges utilities are facing, how Itron is helping to address these challenges and how grid edge intelligence and network connectivity deliver value-based insights and visibility from the substation to behind the meter.
Historical advancements in utility operations, such as drive-by meter reading, highlight the evolution of connectivity needs.
As new energy producers and consumers emerge at the grid’s edge, the demand for connectivity is on the upward trajectory.
Itron’s next-generation smart meter provides granular data, enabling insights into solar penetration, EV charging patterns, and local transformer conditions. Applications like Location Awareness help utilities manage their low-voltage grids more effectively.
These efforts are to enable digital transformation.
