Itron Expands Distributed Intelligence Platform with Versatile Edge Gateway to Accelerate Utility Digitalization - Seite 2

With Itron's Edge Gateway product portfolio, Itron and our partner ecosystem will enable a broad range of use cases, such as:

Distribution Automation

• Intelligent connectivity for Distribution Automation devices (capacitor bank, recloser, switches, etc.) supporting advanced grid automation capabilities
• Remote substation monitoring connecting multiple devices via a range of legacy protocols and providing DNP3 concentration of assets
• Active transformer load management to help preserve transformers' lifetime and reduce unplanned outages
• Augmented voltage monitoring capabilities to monitor, manage and optimize grid operations at the edge

Distributed Energy Resources

• Renewables monitoring and control, which helps manage their potential impacts to grid operations
• Active shedding load to disconnect non-critical customers while keeping the power on for those who need it the most (emergency responders, hospitals, etc.)

Smart City

• Acoustic Gunshot Detection helps police triangulate where gunshots come from and how many shooters there are
• Traffic and noise monitoring capabilities help cities better understand livability conditions and improve planning
• Digital signage solutions that enable monitoring and management of a network of digital signs and advertising space across the city

Cyber Security

• Enhanced network security for new and legacy devices, including edge monitoring, automation, and infiltration detection.

“Building upon Itron’s advancements in DI and intelligent connectivity, utilities and cities now can utilize the Itron Edge Gateway to bring even more intelligence to the network’s edge. This empowers them to collect and manage data more efficiently while harnessing cutting-edge machine learning and AI technologies to make real-time decisions,” said John Marcolini, senior vice president of Networked Solutions at Itron. “From a utility IT perspective, these devices offer value with the opportunity for utilities and partners to test and incorporate them into a specific use case. Once deployed, this platform can be easily repurposed for numerous other applications, saving time and cost.”
