Product Overview

Overview

Gridware offers an event detection and fault localization solution to enable real-time monitoring of power distribution infrastructure. When something happens on the grid, Gridware's technology tells operators exactly what happened and where it happened.

This enables grid operators to detect threats early so they can address them before they pose threats to the public, localize causes of power outages, speed up repair after storms and reduce wildfire ignition risks.

Key Features: Conventional solutions are often directly connected to the lines, making it difficult to locate faults during an outage. The Gridware Gridscope is solar-powered and battery-equipped, which is a safer and more sustainable solution.

Conventional solutions can often only be deployed in areas with cellular connectivity, meaning it cannot be used in very remote areas, where it is needed the most. The Gridscope can be deployed anywhere, even in areas with no cellular coverage.

Conventional solutions often rely on a single sensor (e.g. only visual sensors), whereas the Gridscope system integrates information from 14 different sensors which can detect a much larger variety of faults under many different conditions.

Conventional solutions are often very "spammy", producing a lot of false positives. This poses significant challenges to operators who cannot and will not try to address all of them, significantly reducing system effectiveness. Gridware's technology reduces false positives to an absolute minimum - and the sensitivity can even be customized.

Conventional technology often creates a lot of hurdles for utilities to install and integrate. The Gridscope is plug-and-play technology, installation takes less than 10min.

The system also requires no integration with existing IT, making it much easier for the customer to adopt the technology.

Technology Innovations

Hardware Sensing - The system centers around low-cost hardware platforms that are easily and permanently deployed to power poles.

Applications
  1. Fault Detection - Faults that normally go unnoticed can be detected with Gridware's technology
  2. Fault Localization - Instead of searching for the cause of faults for hours, Gridware's platform tells grid operators exactly where the fault occurred and what happened
  3. Fault Prevention - Early detection of faults enables the prevention of them escalating (E.g. vegetation contact is detected before it causes the structural integrity to fail)

→ Outage Reduction

→ Public Threat Reduction

→ Wildfire Risk Reduction
