The problem

The methods exist. The data doesn't.

State estimation, high-impedance fault location, DLR and anomaly detection already rest on solid science. What is missing is measurement — in sufficient quantity, quality and frequency.

01

The grid has changed

Distributed generation, renewables and electrification make power flows bidirectional and volatile. Operating with a handful of measurement points is no longer enough.

02

Instrumentation is expensive

Many feeders and lines still run with limited instrumentation. Every new point costs hardware, installation, power and communication.

03

Raw data doesn't scale

Streaming waveforms continuously demands bandwidth, energy and storage that field networks don't have. The bottleneck is communication, too.

“The next generation of power grids needs more than sensors. It needs a new observability infrastructure.”

Technology

A complete infrastructure, from conductor to algorithm.

Three layers designed together to reduce the total cost of observing the grid — not just the cost of a sensor.

02Intelligent Electrical Telemetry

Transmit information, not samples

Sensor and server share a model of electrical behavior. The device mainly sends what is new — the innovation its measurement adds.

Telemetry
03Grid Intelligence Platform

From distributed measurement to decision

A scalable environment ingesting conventional telemetry and high-resolution oscillography — from our sensors and, in the future, third-party devices.

  • Device management and geo-electrical views
  • Waveforms, events and history
  • Power quality, alarms and diagnostics
  • Advanced algorithms and integrations

Research front · Latent Electrical Telemetry

What if the sensor only sent what the server doesn't know yet?

A three-phase waveform is highly predictable most of the time. We investigate neural encoders and shared dynamic models so the sensor transmits compact representations and residuals — and the server reconstructs the signal or directly extracts the information an application needs.

Neural codecsAutoencodersPredictive codingShared dynamic modelsObservability-aware communication

In steady state almost nothing is sent. When an event occurs, the residual grows and detail is preserved.

Illustrative visualization of the concept. Compression rates and performance depend on ongoing experimental validation.

Applications

What becomes possible when the grid is observable.

Our technology roadmap. Each application depends on measurements that are scarce today — exactly the bottleneck we target.

01

State estimation

Estimate voltages and flows with distributed, synchronized measurements, reducing reliance on pseudo-measurements.

02

Fault location

Locate conventional and high-impedance faults from traveling waves, phasors and event signatures.

03

Power quality

Monitor sags, harmonics, unbalance and transients along the feeder, not only at the substation.

04

Dynamic Line Rating

Estimate real transmission capacity from current, conductor temperature and ambient conditions.

05

Asset monitoring

Track operating conditions of equipment and infrastructure for condition-based maintenance.

06

Anomaly detection

Identify events and atypical behavior by combining signal processing and machine learning.

07

Optimal sensor placement

Decide how many sensors, where and at what quality to reach an observability target at minimum cost.

Technology direction

Each application depends on measurements that are scarce today — exactly the bottleneck we target.

Observability as a project

From an operational question to an instrumentation plan.

A utility wants better fault location on a critical feeder. Rather than selling boxes, we aim to answer — with simulation and data — what it takes to get there.
