Landis+Gyr and Sense partner on grid edge solution for Asia Pacific

Landis+Gyr and Sense are partnering to deliver an integrated intelligent grid edge solution for the Asia Pacific markets, initially focussed on Australia and New Zealand.

The aim of the partnership is to deliver real-time energy management capabilities for utilities and consumers by extending Sense’s software into Landis+Gyr’s grid edge-ready smart meters.

Leveraging Landis+Gyr’s deployments in North America with Sense, the solution should provide real-time analytics by utilising high-resolution waveform sensing capabilities for utilities and consumers to manage energy more proactively

The regional partnership will initially focus on the fast-growing Australia and New Zealand to support the energy transition to distributed energy resource systems.

“With Australia leading the world in the uptake of rooftop solar and more than 80% of New Zealand’s electricity generated by renewables, our partnership with Sense positions Landis+Gyr well to support distribution networks, retailers, metering services providers and consumers to unlock more benefits from the future flexible grid with real-time insights,” commented David Maclean, Senior Vice President of Asia Pacific, Landis+Gyr.

“We’re delighted that Sense and Landis+Gyr will now bring their proven grid edge intelligence capabilities to Australia and New Zealand, helping to engage consumers whilst cost-effectively expanding grid capacity and delivering the energy transition,” said Michael Jary, Managing Director for Sense in EMEA and APAC.

With Sense’s machine learning software integrated in Landis+Gyr’s grid edge ready smart meters, utilities should have improved visibility on the grid to identify fault conditions, predict peak demand and provide proactive safety alerts that ultimately support the growth and integration of consumer energy resources – areas where utilities need most visibility in the energy transition.

For consumers, this will deliver real-time information through the identification of different household devices while integrating with other smart devices such as solar, batteries and EV enabling them to monitor, control and track their energy usage.
