Implementing a State-of-the-Art Smart Meter Network Operation Center

The Challenge

At a leading Gas and Electric Public Utility, we needed to modernize their grid with Smartmeter Technology while enhancing wildfire detection and response. Key challenges included ensuring real-time energy monitoring, integrating predictive analytics, and securing a resilient infrastructure against cyber threats.

The Solution

  • Smart Meter Network: Deployed advanced meters with two-way communication and IoT-based connectivity for real-time data insights.
  • Network Operation Center (NOC): Established a 24/7 command center integrating SCADA, GIS, and AI-driven analytics for grid optimization.
  • Wildfire Detection: Implemented sensor networks, satellite imagery, and geospatial analytics to predict and mitigate wildfire risks.

The Benefits

  • Improved Grid Reliability: Reduced outage response time by 40%.
  • Operational Efficiency: Lowered maintenance costs through predictive analytics.
  • Enhanced Safety: Accelerated wildfire response by 30%.
  • Customer Empowerment: Provided real-time energy insights for better demand management.
  • Sustainability: Supported increased adoption of renewable energy and improved grid resilience.

Our innovative approach demonstrates how smart grid technology enhances operational excellence and environmental sustainability.
