Sensing underground assets: LV network monitoring in ED2

With ED2 fast approaching, a new report from Utility Week and Kelvatek, sheds light on lessons learned from the latter’s partnership with Electricity North West, low voltage (LV) monitoring strategies, and the overarching challenges ahead of the new price control period.

During the next funding period, maintaining reliability levels that consumers have become accustomed to during ED1 while simultaneously cutting costs, emissions and helping an unprecedented number of low carbon technologies (LCTs) connect to the network, will pose an enormous logistical challenge to distribution network operators (DNOs).

Featuring contributions from Kelvatek and Electricity North West, this report sets out the key challenges posed by LV network monitoring and the opportunities for technology to support greater visibility and proactivity from electricity networks.

Themes covered include:

  • Benefits of advanced LV monitoring and the sector’s perception of current monitoring strategies.
  • The future role of monitoring and how this can enable progress towards wider net-zero and digitalisation objectives.
  • How Kelvatek’s PRESense monitor is empowering Electricity North West’s workforce to manage their networks better.
