Our Distribution Automation Solutions

Uptake of renewable energy plus growing demands for local storage and better overall DSO response requires significant changes in the planning and operation of distribution networks. The number of potential weak spots at substation level has been traditionally high, making the risk of failures and outages difficult to forecast. In addition to huge investments in assets, DSOs are also faced with the high costs of the manpower needed in the field to maintain substation equipment and respond to grid faults, both day and night. Thus, DA solutions play a vital role in helping electric utilities plan, develop and manage their distribution networks in a more secure, reliable and cost-effective way.

DA capabilities of Landis+Gyr’s smart grid solutions deliver distinct benefits of network restoration as a response to network faults. The features include remote control of switches, automatic voltage regulation and demand side management, which overall in combination with advanced sensor technology and a multi-communication platform help build a fully controllable and flexible grid infrastructure.

With real-time network supervision and control coupled with fault location, isolation and restoration capabilities, Landis+Gyr’s solutions secure continuity of electricity supply – resulting in lower operation and maintenance costs for the energy provider.
