EGM’s Grid Solution consists of advanced sensors, highly sophisticated Meta-Alert® analytics and sensor management software and secure and end-to-end encrypted communications. The advanced sensors and secure integrated communications gateway are the backbone of the solution. The sensors are the first of their kind to be able to accurately measure voltage to within +/- 3% accuracy without a ground reference.
Meta-Sense™ Sensors
Meta Sense Units (MSU) consists of multiple sensors that precisely measure a wide variety of electrical and other parameters (e.g. current discrepancy, voltage, frequency, conductor temperature, humidity, pitch and roll, and many other parameters) – all, encapsulated in weatherproof case, installed on the electricity lines.
Communications Adapter Unit
The Communications Adapter Unit (CAU) is a communications gateway that transfers the data collected from the MSU’s to the Meta-Alert® server. The bidirectional communication between the CAU and multiple MSU’s is mesh radio collecting data from the sensors and allowing for remote firmware upgrades and configuration. This data is then sent on to the Meta-Alert® system for further processing.
Meta-Alert® Platform
EGM’s Meta-Alert® system collects all of the data from the sensors in its raw format and applies processes including advanced algorithms. These algorithms are used to create valuable information in the way of applications. These applications allow our utility customers to improve their reliability and resiliency, detect and analyze pre-fault conditions, and comply with government regulations.
