As wildfire risk continues to rise, utilities need more than faster outage response. They need the ability to detect emerging hazards, pinpoint ignition risks, respond with precision, and prioritize long-term grid hardening investments.

Landis+Gyr's Revelo® platform and Sense's advanced fault detection capabilities represent a powerful combination that leverages next-generation AMI infrastructure as a distributed grid intelligence network. Together, they help utilities move from reactive operations to proactive wildfire mitigation. 

Five Key Benefits of the Combined Solution

1. Earlier Detection of Wildfire Ignition Risks

Landis+Gyr provides edge intelligence to identify conditions such as floating neutrals, micro-arcing, vegetation contact, hot sockets, and high-impedance faults (HIFs). Sense complements this with advanced signal processing and machine learning that detect subtle fault signatures and pre-fault anomalies before they escalate into dangerous events.

2. Improved Visibility Across the Distribution Grid

Together, the solutions create a high-density sensing network across both primary and secondary distribution systems. This expanded visibility helps utilities identify risks that traditional protection systems may miss, including difficult-to-detect arcing and HIF events.

3. Faster Fault Localization and Operational Response

When dangerous conditions occur, utilities need to know what happened and where. Sense provides fault classification and localization capabilities, while Landis+Gyr supplies grid topology awareness, outage intelligence, transformer mapping, and phase identification to help crews respond faster and more effectively.

4. More Targeted Public Safety Actions

Wildfire mitigation often requires difficult operational decisions. By combining real-time fault intelligence with detailed grid awareness, utilities can support more targeted inspections, faster isolation of high-risk areas, and more precise de-energization strategies that minimize customer impact.

5. Better Planning and Grid Hardening Decisions

Beyond operational response, the combined data streams support risk-based planning. Utilities can identify recurring fault locations, vegetation-related risks, and vulnerable assets, helping prioritize undergrounding, covered conductor deployment, sectionalizing devices, and other resilience investments. 

A More Complete Wildfire Mitigation Story 

For successful wildfire mitigation, utilities need technologies that help them prevent ignition, identify faults rapidly, localize risks accurately, respond effectively, and make informed long-term investment decisions.

Landis+Gyr's Revelo platform provides the sensing, edge analytics, grid awareness, and planning foundation, while Sense adds advanced fault detection, classification, and localization intelligence. Together, these capabilities help utilities reduce ignition risk, improve operational response, and build a more resilient distribution grid.
