Distribution networks in transition
Distribution networks have changed due to numerous factors that influence traditional planning paradigms + technologies of energy supply. Demand for more efficient networks is increasing, as is the feed-in of renewable energy. Charging stations for electric vehicles and capacitive loads are putting further strain on the network.

This transformation of the power grid has far-reaching effects:
Reversal of the load flow until feed-in
Overloading of the equipment
Increase in the voltage at the feed-in point
Increase in energy overproduction
Asymmetries, especially in the low-voltage network
Growing need for energy storage solutions
Load from non-linear loads

Mastering challenges with the right measurement technology
In order to overcome these and gain a comprehensive overview of the networks, the collection of energy data at all levels is essential. Intelligent energy distribution networks require more powerful measurement technology than conventional systems. We offer high-quality and scalable solutions for every requirement.

The collection of energy data at all levels offers many advantages:
Faster fault analysis
Solid basis for network planning
Provision of data for automation & control systems
Monitoring of voltage quality in accordance with EN 50160
Retrofitting of local network stations
Upgrading existing local network stations is becoming increasingly common as they become intelligent hubs. They take on tasks such as measurement, remote control, automation, fault detection & network quality analysis. When selecting the measurement technology, certain framework conditions must be taken into account:
Limited space: Additional systems must correspond to the limited expansion reserves of compact local network stations.
Economic efficiency: Components should be easy to install “plug-and-play” & incur minimal operating costs.
Scalability: Solutions should enable a cost-effective entry & be easy to expand
