Last month, we asked our audience What technology allows grid operators to detect and respond to power disturbances instantly? Overall, the most voted for answer was Smart Meters at 72 percent. Power Relays received the second most votes at 14 percent. Finally, Analog Sensors and Manual Check tied for third at seven percent each.
The correct answer is Smart Meters. A smart meter measures and records energy consumption in real-time, communicating this data directly to a utility provider. Smart meters can detect numerous irregular events, such as brief outages affecting individual customers, which often signal an impending grid failure. This data enables utilities to anticipate potential long-term outages and improve their preparedness when they occur.
