Installation Manager, Brian Hansen, from Østjysk Energi explains the choice of the OMNIA-platform: “In the selection process we were interested in usability as well as system performance and security aspects. Especially data security must be weighed when implementing a future proof smart metering system. Our main focus, though, has been on the functions that will give us an advantage in terms of grid optimization and improved maintenance work.
We are looking forward to getting a powerful tool for trouble shooting as well as easier access to critical and detailed information from the grid.”
Østjysk Energi further mentions the system’s distributed intelligence as a decisive factor that will save valuable installation time and provide detailed insight into the low voltage grid.
Immediately after installation the meters will communicate their identity to the head-end system. The enhanced intelligence in meters
