Greater visibility for accurate load management: How real-time monitoring improves grid resiliency
Dr. Alex Levran, CEO of EGM Inc., the United States office of EGM, interviewed with UtilityDive, here’s a snapshot from the interview: “Real-time monitoring informs the level of capital investment needed because utilities will have a more accurate understanding of their grid’s full capacity. Monitoring and analysis of expanded parameters also provide greater visibility into […]
New power grids or smarter grids? Finding hidden spare capacity could unlock the bottlenecks to net zero
By Amir Cohen, CEO at EGM Our power grids face a perfect storm of climate change, and a mass of renewable technologies and electric appliances coming online that could cause an unprecedented capacity crunch. Recent reports indicate that net zero risks running into an electric grid bottleneck with insufficient capacity to support the massive integration […]

EGM team, led by CEO Amir Cohen, presented the Meta-Alert system and its capabilities in accurate fault location detection, and its far reaching implications in terms of financial savings and economic benefits to utilities and end users alike.
Smart Grids Predictively Against Climate Damages
The increase in electrification of services such as fast charging of electric cars and distributed renewable generation centers, puts a strain on the strength and efficiency of the networks themselves. This is compounded by the often unpredictable effects of extreme weather events, increasing in areas previously considered not at risk due to the effects of […]
The Hidden Threat to Power Quality on the Electric Grid
By Amir Cohen, CEO of EGM It has been widely reported that unregulated electric vehicle (EV) charging could overtax or destabilise power grids yet there has been less discussion of the potentially disruptive impact on power quality. While electrification of transport will deliver many environmental benefits, we must consider and manage the full impact of […]
Smart Electricity Grid Sensors Solve Power Puzzles
Renewable energy, while very much welcome in helping to combat climate change, does bring new variables to managing an increasingly complex electricity grid. But solutions providers are rising to the challenge, using a combination of big data analytics and smart electricity grid sensors to give operators a suite of upgraded monitoring options. Read the full […]

The Effect of Accurate Fault Location Detection (AFLD[1]) on Grid Reliability
Kobi Yahav, Ph.D. Nurit Gal, Ph.D. Abstract The reliability of the US distribution grid is deteriorating due to aging infrastructure, extreme weather events, and transmission congestions which affect overall reliability. We have studied the contribution of technology that provides an accurate fault location detection (AFLD) to a reduction in System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI). […]
