EGM provides all stakeholders – end users, utility companies and regulators – with cutting edge Energy-Economics solutions. Its solution is a key-building block in transforming analog grids into digitized, integrated, dynamic and adaptive systems.

EGM supports T&D utilities in an effort to achieve Grid Excellence at unprecedented cost effectiveness, with an ROI of 1-3 years.

The tremendous economic benefits derived of the five different capabilities in one system:

• Increasing and accelerating distributed energy resource integration (renewable and others) in the grid. EGM optimizes the planning & operational stages, implementing advanced Distributed Energy Resource Management System (DERMS) capabilities;
• Increasing electricity infrastructure utilization, inter alia by deferring investments, based on Dynamic Line Ratings (DLR) (in both existing and new transmission and distribution grids);
• Improving grid reliability (SAIDI, SAIFI) and power quality;
• Enhancing grid resiliency and reducing operating and maintenance costs, based on Accurate Fault Location Detection (AFLD) capabilities;
• Improving energy flow planning methods and procedures based on Digital-Twin capabilities;

EGM’s solution incorporates innovative and pioneering technologies such as AFLD and DLR, capable of interfacing with other tools like ADMS.

The system consists of three main components:

• Analytics engine – Dozens of algorithms and SW, generate a constant stream of information essential to all users in the utility industry. The analytics are unique as they are based on real-time and accurate field data;
• Monitoring – State-of-the-art sensors constantly measure dozens of parameters at all voltage levels;
• Communication – A highly secured and redundant system transfers the measured data to the analytics platform.

The system is suitable for distribution, transmission and microgrids – in both overhead and underground lines.
