Congratulations to the Edge Zero team for being selected our Most Innovative Solution Provider of the Month! Edge Zero offers an innovative Distribution Transformer Monitoring solution that you can find in our new upgraded InnovationWorks Hangar! Here's a quick summary: ? Challenge: Customers need?low voltage (secondary) distribution transformer monitoring?in order to?optimize DER integration capacity, streamline asset management, and enable further EV penetration through programs like managed charging. ? Solution: By addressing grid reliability, DER integration, cost reduction, and regulatory compliance, Edge Zero enables utilities to modernize their infrastructure, optimize operations, and deliver reliable, sustainable energy to customers.? ? Why is this better than the current state: Edge Zero provides a real-time, transformer-level monitoring solution that delivers detailed insights into voltage, current, and power quality. By combining advanced edge sensors and a powerful analytics platform, it helps utilities optimize grid operations, manage DER and EV integration, and proactively address maintenance needs, improving reliability and reducing costs that is better than aggregating AMI data to analyze transformer performance.? ?
