Customer perspectives
One of our strategic pillars is excellent grid management by utilizing existing assets. Implementing Smart Cable Guard was the foundation to enable meshed operations and other innovative operational concepts.

The problem

Almost none of the medium-voltage network is monitored in real time.

It is buried, jointed, backfilled and then left alone. For most of its service life the only thing anyone knows about it is the date it went in.

What one medium-voltage circuit actually carries

Two problems, one cause. Three steps here; the long version carries the evidence and the sources.

01

One circuit serves a neighbourhood

One medium-voltage circuit serves a neighbourhood, not a customer: homes, a hospital, a factory, a tram line. Nobody thinks about it until it stops.

02

Nobody can see inside the cable

It is buried, jointed and then left alone for decades. A fault does not begin as a fault — it begins as a weakness that no one is watching.

03

Monitoring the cable changes two things

The faults become visible before they interrupt anyone. So does the capacity that was always there, sitting under a worst-case assumption.

From monitoring to decision

How monitoring data informs a decision

Live circuit data feeds a model of every circuit as it runs, producing a recommendation that can be traced back to the underlying readings. Read it bottom-up — that is the direction the data travels.

What it does with that
The chainNetwork → intelligence → decision
Decisionsoutput

Every recommendation traceable to the underlying monitoring data, so the call survives scrutiny.

Continuously monitored on live circuits — nothing is switched off.

Solutions

The headroom is already in the ground — hidden by static limits

Demand is arriving in single large blocks and a house at a time, and almost all of it connects below transmission — where most circuits still lack continuous monitoring. Reinforcement is necessary and it is happening; cable, permits and crews set its pace.

Medium-voltage networks are run to a worst case that occurs only a few hours a year. Real-time thermal monitoring reveals how much capacity can be offered safely.

Grid Reliability

Predictive maintenance

Stop managing faults. Start preventing them.

Faults surfaced weeks before they become an outage

Detect insulation defects and cable stress before failure — and locate them precisely when they occur.

Where it applies
  • Prevent faultsDetect weak spots weeks before they become outages.
  • Accelerated fault locationFewer excavations, faster repairs, lower crew cost.
What it returns
  • SAIDI / SAIFI reduction
  • Lower cost per callout
How it works
Grid Renewal

Lifetime extension

Replace cables based on condition, not age.

Reinforcement deferred where the capacity is already there

Redirect CapEx to assets that actually need it — and defend every investment decision with data.

Where it applies
  • Real-time health indexContinuous visibility into actual cable condition.
  • CapEx reallocationDefer spend on healthy cables, invest where it counts.
What it returns
  • CapEx deferred, not cancelled
  • Improved ROCE
How it works
Grid Optimization

Capacity increase

Unlock capacity already in your network.

Connections offered against live operating limits, not worst-case assumptions

Real-time thermal data replaces conservative static limits — connecting more customers without new infrastructure.

Where it applies
  • Increase cable capacityReal-time data replaces static worst-case assumptions.
  • Connect more customersOperate closer to thermal margins via RTTR.
What it returns
  • Capacity released without new cable
  • Reduced connection backlog
How it works
Where to start

Bring us a network. We will tell you what it is doing.

Most engagements begin with a pilot on circuits drawn from your own risk register or connection backlog — the fastest way to see what continuous monitoring is worth on your grid.

Industries

Power to sell, and no capacity to connect it

The bottleneck moved off the transmission system and onto medium-voltage networks that are rarely monitored continuously.

  • Queues, not shortages

    Power to sell, customers who want it, and no way to carry it.

  • Years, not months

    Long enough to move an investment to another country.

  • Curtailed and waiting

    Output turned down on one side of a constraint while customers wait on the other.

  • The bill arrives anyway

    Congestion costs money whether or not anything gets built.
