GridScan illuminates the low voltage grid and grid edge

Alert

GridScan shows you where attention is needed to manage your grid.

“GridScan used AMI ‘blinks’ to spot potential outages before they happened and told us where out-of-band voltage was occurring.”

Analyze

GridScan does the analysis so you can focus on making smart decisions.

“GridScan automatically calculated our reliability metrics for every circuit and meter, so we know which areas need attention to improve member satisfaction.”

Enhance

GridScan identifies how you can improve your utility's operations

“GridScan identified 15 transformers that are regularly overloaded and which transformers we should relocate to extend this equipment life.”

Plan

GridScan arms you with the insights to solve your toughest planning challenges

“GridScan showed that if load growth and DER trends continue, it could cause voltage and loading concerns on 3 of our circuits.”

Automate

Gridscan takes the work out of analysis that ties up scarce technical resources

“Automated hosting capacity analysis saves us hours of engineering time versus what it used to take each time a customer applies for home solar”

Keep reliability up and losses down

How GridScan works

GridScan combines your existing data sources to reveal insights from the substation to the customer meter

Avoid overloaded transformers

  • Map and view transformer loading.
  • Optimize transformer placement to avoid early transformer burnout and long replacement lead times.
  • Detect where load growth is putting stress on infrastructure.

Keep customers satisfied with service

  • Continuously monitor and respond to out-of-band voltages on the low voltage network at every meter.
  • Track reliability trends down to individual service locations.
  • Identify where customers are adding DERs and EV charging.

Keep reliability up and losses down

  • Automatically view reliability metrics like SAIDI and SAIFI down to each secondary line and service location.
  • See your losses at every distribution transformer and secondary line.
  • Fully utilize AMI “blinks” to detect outage potential - before it occurs.

Leverage data from every corner of your distribution system

GridScan’s lightweight implementation flexes its features to the data your utility already has available.

Customer AMI Interval data

Bring your own AMI data or buy meters from SparkMeter that will provide best-in-class latency and data completeness.

Low-voltage distribution transformer AMI interval data

Bring your own AMI data or buy meters from SparkMeter that will provide best-in-class latency and data completeness.

Substation AMI data

SparkMeter can extract data from MV90 or any other meter data processing system installed at your primary metering points.

GIS or connectivity data

SparkMeter reads and curates GIS and connectivity from any file type - ESRI, Milsoft, QGIS, ETAP, KMZ, and many more.

Distribution Automation or SCADA data

SparkMeter can configure SEL relays or other distribution sensors for read-only access to increase the efficacy of features in GridScan
