EA Technology VisNet Hub – Smart LV Network Monitoring

  • Designed to help achieve a Net-Zero Future

As the world uses low carbon technologies, we face new challenges. These technologies include electric vehicles (EVs), solar panels, and heat pumps. Our low voltage (LV) distribution networks need to adapt to these changes.

Built for a simpler time, these networks now grapple with dynamic demand patterns, necessitating modernisation. The VisNet Hub by EA Technology is a strong, real-time monitoring device. It helps energy network operators gain important insights and tools to manage this transition well. The VisNet Hub provides accurate, real-time data on voltage and current from every LV feeder. This crucial data empowers operators to understand load profiles, detect faults swiftly, and make smarter, data-driven decisions regarding network upgrades, maintenance, and overall efficiency.

Without smart monitoring, utilities risk blackouts, poor power quality, and costly reactive upgrades as EV adoption and renewable energy integration increase. Studies indicate a significant proportion of LV feeders may require intervention with increasing EV adoption.

This compact, rugged device seamlessly fits into LV substations, continuously checking power conditions. It helps distribution network operators (DNOs) see what they need. This visibility allows them to manage the modern grid effectively. They can do this safely and at a lower cost.

Key Benefits of the VisNet Hub

  • Complete LV Network Visibility: Monitors up to 6 LV feeders, providing real-time and historical data via the cloud-based LV Portal.
  • Smart Fault Detection: Detects faults early, preventing outages and reducing repair costs.
  • Intelligent Edge Processing: Processes data locally, enabling instant alerts via text or email for critical issues.
  • Flexible Integration: Works seamlessly with existing systems like ALVIN and WinDEBUT for advanced control and planning.
  • Cloud-Based Monitoring: Manage and monitor all VisNet Hub devices remotely through EA Technology’s LV Cloud Portal.

 

 

How the VisNet Hub Works

Installed directly into LV substations, the VisNet Hub measures voltage and current on each feeder. This data is securely sent to a central platform via 2G, 3G, or 4G mobile networks, allowing operators to view information in real-time or analyse trends over various periods.

This rich dataset supports informed decision-making for load balancing, network planning, asset health monitoring, and customer service response. Crucially, the VisNet Hub supports the LV-CAP™ (Low Voltage Common Application Platform), enabling developers to create and deploy custom applications at the network edge without requiring new hardware for evolving strategies.
