EGM’s solution consists of inductively powered third generation patent-ed sensors, highly sophisticated Meta-Alert® analytics software, and secure communications. The Meta-Sense™ sensors and the secure integrated communications gateway are the backbone of the solution.
Meta-Sense™ High Voltage
The next generation of Distribution applications like DER management, faster outage restoration, and general awareness of the grid edge require precise electrical parameter measurements in near real-time, and the most critical measurement, Precision Voltage. Precise voltage measurement combined with drastically improved current measurement allows the calculation of Power Factor, Phase Angle, Harmonics, Frequency and a host of other critical parameters with unrivaled accuracy.
Communications Gateway
Monitoring, and ultimately managing, a diverse energy mix at the edge of the grid will require more than intermittent measurements and involve more than just fault detection. Supporting renewables and EVs, and understanding the electrical effects of that equipment, requires real-time, all-time monitoring of more than just current but many precise, time-synchronized electrical parameters such as voltage, phase angle, power factor and frequency.
Meta-Alert® Platform
Operational applications such as ADMS/DMS/OMS will benefit from accurate, timely data captured from many points on the network. Specifically, Fault Location, Isolation and Service Restoration (FLISR), Distribution Power flow (DPF), State Estimation, VVO and Outage Management (OMS) will benefit from real-time precision electrical data provided by the Meta-Alert® platform and the alerts and notifications available from Meta-Alert advanced analytics.
