ESENSOR™
UNIQUE
GRID VISIBILITY THROUGH REAL-TIME MONITORING.
THE PROBLEM
RESPONDING TO THE EVOLVING ENERGY LANDSCAPE
Energy Networks lack visibility of the low-voltage grid, which is under increasing pressure from new technologies like solar and wind. Without visibility, Networks struggle to manage power supply and maintain reliability.

eSensor enables full grid visibility through real-time monitoring of transformers

Predictive maintenance
In 2013 Pepco prevented a critical transformer failure worth $3 million and prevented a $4 million new transformer purchase with monitoring


Data to network, DER integration and smart grid realisation
Network emergency repairs cost ~$20,000

Emissions reduction
Locating leakage locations on the grid can eliminate 50+ million metric tons of CO2 emissions annually

Customer complaints
Energex & Ergon pay $2,200 per complaint investigation.
Annual cost of $2.2 million (2016)

Theft prevention
QLD government estimated power theft at a cost of $30 million per year

Fewer outages
Average ROI on predictive maintenance monitoring equipment is ~ 9 -15 mths

Shorter outages
Toronto Hydro saved 100,000 outage minutes by implementing, monitoring and identifying 12 overloaded transformers
COMMON NETWORK ISSUES
Power outage
SA Power Network expects to pay ~20 million to households who lost power for more than 12 hours

No real-time monitoring of transformers

Reactive maintenance which leads to long customer outage periods

High carbon emissions
IMPACTS OF NO VISIBILITY
THE SOLUTION
GAIN GRID INSIGHT WITH ESENSOR
Edge’s eSensor is an intelligent and compact power quality monitor. Its software-driven technology enables predictive, low cost maintenance and state of the art network control. Monitoring transformers in real-time with eSensor is the smartest way to digitise legacy assets.
