Legacy grid monitoring tools can leave a critical visibility gap between the substation and the meter - a growing challenge as DERs, renewables, and microgrids add further complexity to distribution networks.
Guidehouse Insights estimates that distribution automation is fully deployed across only about 15% of North American networks, leaving much of the grid without visibility into outages and other conditions.
In this independent research report, Guidehouse examines the shift toward T&D sensing and measurement (TDSM) platforms that combine high-resolution sensing, real-time communications, and analytics to provide visibility deeper into the distribution network. EGM's multi-sensing units are highlighted as one example, continuously measuring and capturing over 40 physical, electrical, and environmental data points through a single sensing platform.
