He will explore the role of disruptive innovations and whether SMEs can impact regulatory barriers to implementing innovative solutions. Furthermore, Andrew has the potential to expand on how to influence code changes within the energy sector.
This talk promises to be an engaging and thought-provoking session that not only educates but also empowers attendees to take action. Whether you are an industry professional, an innovator, or simply curious about the future of energy, this talk offers a unique opportunity to gain valuable insights and join the discussion with passionate experts.
Challenge Stage
Real-Time Fault Level Monitoring, facilitating connections at curtailed locations through Fault Level Measurement and Active Network Management.
On Tuesday16th May, from 14:15 to 15:25, Kate Edwards (Outram Research) will be presenting during the Challenge Session 'Asset management game changers '. Her talk titled "Real-Time Fault Level Monitoring: Facilitating connections at curtailed locations through Fault Level Measurement and Active Network Management" promises to unveil innovative approaches that transform the way we handle connections in constrained areas.
On the stage, Kate will introduce an innovative solution called ‘Real-Time Fault Level Monitor (RTFLM) that aims to transform the electrical utility industry’. The RTFLM is a rack-sized substation monitor designed to measure the worst-case current during a fault, providing real-time fault level data.
This talk will explore the potential impact of this technology on network management, safety, and cost savings for utilities and customers. We are looking forward to hearing her insights and exploring the innovative approaches that are revolutionising the utilities industry.
