The electric grid is undergoing its most significant transformation in decades. Aging infrastructure, growing electricity demand, distributed energy resources, extreme weather, and new large loads are increasing the complexity of operating transmission and distribution networks. At the same time, utilities are under pressure to improve reliability, strengthen resilience, and do more with limited resources.
Electrical Grid Monitoring (EGM) was founded to help utilities meet these challenges with better operational intelligence.
EGM is a U.S.-based provider of integrated transmission and distribution grid monitoring solutions. Our Meta-Alert™ solution combines line-mounted sensors with advanced analytics to provide continuous visibility into the electrical, physical, and environmental conditions directly on the conductor.
Serving investor-owned utilities (IOUs), electric cooperatives, and municipal utilities, Meta-Alert system transforms real-time measurements into actionable insights. It enables utilities to identify emerging issues earlier, optimize grid performance, and make faster, more informed operational decisions.
Backed by independent testing and field deployments, EGM helps utilities move beyond reacting to grid events toward proactively managing the conditions that lead to them.
Identify emerging grid conditions before they become outages.
EGM continuously monitors electrical, physical, and environmental conditions directly from the conductor, providing real-time insight into how transmission and distribution assets are performing. By detecting abnormal electrical behavior early, utilities gain visibility into developing issues that may otherwise go unnoticed until they affect reliability.
Pinpoint faults with speed and precision.
When faults occur, EGM’s Meta-Alert™ system helps utilities accurately locate fault events, reducing patrol time and enabling crews to respond more efficiently. Faster fault location improves restoration efforts, minimizes outage duration, and helps utilities make better use of field resources.
Turn continuous monitoring into proactive grid management.
Operational intelligence doesn’t end with detection. By continuously analyzing grid conditions, EGM helps utilities identify trends associated with asset degradation, vegetation encroachment, wildfire risk, power quality issues, and changing system conditions. This enables proactive maintenance, more effective asset management, and smarter operational planning before failures occur.
EGM sensors are the first of their kind to be able to accurately measure voltage within +/- 3% without a physical or ground reference. We provide precision data for voltage, current, harmonics, phase angle, frequency and all critical measurements for overhead and underground grid networks.
Meta-Alert monitors, collects, and analyzes 20+ electrical, physical, and environmental grid parameters in real time and processes this information through our proprietary algorithms to give utilities information and therefore improving their operations and saving significant maintenance costs.
We deliver true business value with applications ranging from accurate fault detection and location, DER Impact, Ambient Adjusted Rating (AAR) and Dynamic Line Rating (DLR), vegetation encroachment detection, equipment failure detection, wildfire mitigation, and others.
