SOLUTIONS

OptiSense solutions delivers key advantages:

OptiSense Delivers Reliability

OptiSensors™ make your distribution system more reliable by allowing you to immediately pinpoint and even predict system problems and faults – making distribution routing decisions in real time.

You can quickly identify the location and cause of a fault, and respond promptly by sending a repair crew to a precise location (instead of on a neighborhood “fishing” expedition).

The results of spending less time locating a problem and more time fixing it? Reduced outage frequency (SAIFI) and duration (SAIDI), minimizing the impact on customers.

OptiSense Improves Efficiency

By enabling you to optimize voltage and current levels between substations and destinations, OptiSensors™ improve energy efficiency, dramatically reducing the equipment and resources required to maintain your network.

How dramatic? On average, the cost savings you can achieve in network operations and maintenance is 20%. That means you can do more with less, and spend your CapEx dollars more efficiently — a must in these economic times.

Now consider that utilities may realize up to a 100% return on investment (ROI) in less than a year, from a solution that stays on lines for 20 years or more, and the cost-efficiency of OptiSensors™ becomes even more apparent.

OptiSense Enhances Asset Management

With OptiSensors™ automatically monitoring your substation-to-destination assets, you gain continuous, real-time intelligence on what’s going on with your distribution system’s voltage, current, phase angle, frequency and harmonics.

Pinpoint potential problems before they become real ones. Create a complete map of the “health” of your distribution system. Narrow and fine-tune system voltage and current. And even gain flow information about alternative energy sources such as wind power, solar, etc.

With all that critical data, you can ensure the right spend on the right equipment at the right time.
