Landis+Gyr’s Advanced Grid Analytics (AGA) solution enables the utility’s network operations, planning, asset management and customer service organizations to ensure safe and efficient grid management. By leveraging data from grid edge devices such as meters, sensors and other utility enterprise systems,
By utilizing the power of data, the distribution network model and advanced physics-based algorithms, utilities can now have accurate, dynamic monitoring and actionable intelligence for improving grid reliability, safety and network performance while reducing costs, meeting regulatory compliance and enhancing customer satisfaction.
Modular and user-friendly, AGA features web-based, geospatial and system-wide visualization of the distribution grid. AGA’s powerful algorithms have been proven in real-world deployments over the past decade.
Each AGA application can be deployed individually or as part of an enterprise solution. AGA provides the flexibility to deploy the solution in multiple ways − deployment within the utility’s own infrastructure, deployment in the cloud or by delivery as a service offering. Utilities of any size can harness the power of AGA and realize rapid benefits. AGA applications integrate into a single user-friendly interface to help utilities quickly achieve maximum benefits.
The grid analytics solution consists of a powerful enterprise platform and modular, web-based, user friendly applications. The platform enables utilities to leverage data integration, visualization and advanced algorithms for multiple analyses and benefits. Given the modular nature of the applications, as needs change or grow, the same platform and data can be utilized, leveraging economies of scale and eliminating data silos and the need to manage multiple vendor systems.
