| Enhancing Grid Reliability and Responsiveness Every second that a power outage persists, utilities lose revenue and customer trust. To minimize grid issues, operators must be able to reliably and automatically control field devices. Distribution automation (DA) systems have become essential for quickly locating and isolating grid faults, while also making fast, efficient field repairs. The catch — a DA system is only as reliable as its communication with devices in the field. By contrast, using a streamlined centralized grid communication network makes DA vastly more responsive and reliable. In Sensus’s new playbook, we'll cover the: Pros and cons of centralized vs. mesh networks Communication problems when the grid is under stress Business and operational benefits of reliable DA Download Now |
