As distributed energy resources are integrated into the grid, the complexity of managing the low voltage (LV) network escalates, calling for enhanced visibility and control mechanisms. In light of this, E-REDES has embarked on a transformative LV network digitalisation journey through the GridWise project which integrates information and operational technology to effectively monitor E-REDES transformer substations.
By employing advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, big data analytics, and edge computing, GridWise performs continuous monitoring of LV circuits to guarantee power quality parameters, detect faults, and identify non-technical losses such as theft or fraud. Since its implementation, GridWise provided actionable insights for maintenance, planning and investment, yielding remarkable improvements in efficiency and service quality.
