Electrical Infrastructure Monitoring And management
GridBit eim Enable an Easy and Reliable Energy
Transition by Protecting Your Low
Voltage (LV) Infrastructure
GridBit EIM (Electrical Infrastructure Monitoring and Management) addresses the urgent need for digitalization of the edge infrastructure at the low voltage grid, which is largely affected by the energy transition.
Energy industry context and trends
The measures on battling climate change by 2030 affect the grids to a great extent
01.
Electrification
02.
Renewables
Widespread adoption of renewable energy resources (solar, wind) are both an opportunity and a challenge. For distribution system operators, the high adoption speed can cause network and power volatility.
03.
Decentralization
Designed many decades ago, today’s grids are not prepared for the growth of electricity demand, the intermittent flow from renewables, the integration of active prosumers and distributed generation.
the Problem
Electrical utilities urgently need more visibility in the low voltage (LV) network to secure its stability and resilience.
the Solution
Digitalization and modernization of the LV network.
Complete visibility on edge assets and infrastructure.
Why monitor the LV grid and how?
The amount of assets distributed in the LV grid is way higher (65%) than in the HV and MD. Also, most of the trends happening in the sector affect exactly the LV. That is why it needs modernization.
GridBitEIM adds digital senses and AI to the electrical infrastructure for complete prevention. It provides monitoring of the transformer and the switchboard by a thermal camera, digital analyzers and sensors for pressure, temperature, oil level and gassing. As a result rarer site visits are necessary which drive additional cost reduction.
System Components
Modular Hardware
Module GWU
Gateway unit - provides communication, management and data collection from peripheral modules and sensors in the LV switchboard.
Module MCU
3-phase energy analyzer - monitors the status of supply lines, control circuits, fuses, protections, contactors in the LV switchboard.
Module SMU
High voltage detector - measures a wide range of electrical parameters (by in- build three-phase indirect electricity meter).
Module RTU
Real-time clock - manages the power supply lines of the LV switchboard through automatic schedules or commands.
