Focus Article Can the distribution network become smart? The equipment is available as well as smart grid applications, such as visualization, data analytics and operational tools. What has been missing so far is the level of automation providing local optimization of the distribution network. By implementing the multi-layer approach – Measure/Monitor, Analyze, Act and Automate – Landis+Gyr is able to change the conventional distribution networks into optimized Smart Distribution Networks. The key components to make this vision a reality are: power network visualization, data analytics, fault locating, renewable energy source control, active voltage regulation and predictive capacity management. MV/LV Monitoring and Control Landis+Gyr’s modular MV/LV Monitoring and Control Solution has been designed to retroft and digitalize existing power distribution infrastructure in a cost-effective way. Integration of the sensor technology enables utilities to signifcantly improve their outage and fault management through power fow visualization and power quality monitoring.
