Ambient Smart Grid Energy Sensing Solution
As a key smart grid application, our Energy Sensing Solution monitors critical aspects of a utility’s distribution network through measurement of current and voltage characteristics. Having the capability of measuring and monitoring power quality allows a utility to obtain real-time insight into characteristics such as power factor and general power quality, as well as the ability to quickly identify problem areas from a central location.
It also allows utilities to better interface with their customers who may have strict tolerances associated with their power requirements. Furthermore, it can provide critical information for outage notification and restoration systems. Since the Energy Sensing solution is Ambient’s smart grid application, the hardware and software used are incorporated directly into our communications nodes, creating a much more efficient use of capital and utility pole real estate.
