EA Technology VisNet Hub Monitoring Device for LV Networks
VisNet Hub has been designed to provide valuable insight into the efficiency and optimisation of LV networks. This real-time monitoring device operates in low voltage distribution substations.
It checks voltage and current data on every LV feeder giving insight into load, faults and condition across the network. This data is critical to network operators having the ability to improve both network flexibility and efficiency together with security and quality of supply as low carbon technologies become more widespread.
Reduce Risk Of Emerging Strategies
There are countless specifications and strategies being explored and adopted by the UK DNOs based on the outcomes of trials and tests of LV network monitoring. The risk of getting these choices wrong in a rapidly changing world with an uncertain future is high.
The VisNet Hub de-risks these emerging strategies by implementing widespread monitoring on a standard and open software platform which can flex to accommodate new ideas without incurring the burden of the installation of new equipment. Networks need a robust and future proof data infrastructure which can adapt to a rapid reshaping of the energy sector: LV-CAP (Low Voltage - Common Application Platform) provides this.
The openness of this solution lets network operators deploy solutions from best-of-breed providers (including themselves) to deliver cost-effective gains in performance, planning, load management and network charging.
