The challenge

What operators are up against

Distribution teams need faster fault awareness and better grid visibility as DER, changing loads, and aging assets make one-way operating models insufficient.

The solution

How Electric Distribution Grid Operations and Outage Analytics addresses it

Electric Distribution Grid Operations and Outage Analytics combines communications, centralized device management, analytics, and control for more reliable electric distribution operations.

How it works

Meters and grid devices report events to the unified headend; analytics identify faults, topology or voltage issues, and operators dispatch or automate corrective actions.

SenseSmart meters, reclosers, regulators, capacitor controls, and grid sensors observe service and equipment conditions.
ConnectAclara RF, powerline, and cellular networks securely connect devices with the headend and utility systems.
AnalyzeAnalytics localize faults, validate restoration, detect imbalance, improve topology, and monitor asset performance.
ActOperators dispatch crews, isolate faults, adjust voltage or load, and coordinate distribution devices.
