LOW-VOLTAGE GRID MAPPER and

ENERGY BALANCER OVERVIEW

Low-Voltage Grid Mapper and Energy Balancer allow you to discover your low-voltage network
infrastructure from the transformer to the meter sensing quality of supply to the customer and
throughout the low-voltage grid.

Become Grid Aware through Distributed Intelligence in your low-voltage network and enable any meter to act as a sensor.
Evolve your AMI solution to drive your operational excellence, focus on customer experience and your reputation, increase distribution efficiency
and control infrastructure investment.
Integrate low-voltage network health information into your business and technology decision making process.

This solution provides visibility of the low-voltage network to make the business decisions that will drive return on your smart grid investment.
