Today utilities face unprecedented challenges from regulators and customers to improve reliability and increase efficiency. Tollgrade answers this challenge with LightHouse™ advanced sensor technology for continuous grid intelligence.

Advanced sensor technologies are essential to evolving the electric distribution grid for improved reliability, optimized asset utilization, and reduced operation and maintenance costs. Often, little is known about the state of the distribution grid between the substation and the meter unless a problem is visually observed by field crews or reported by the customer. Critical decisions are commonly based on local experience and judgment, rather than accurate system condition information.

Tollgrade’s LightHouse solution is designed to provide real-time grid intelligence by using sensors that continuously monitor key circuit parameters and transmit them over a self-configuring wireless mesh network to a central location.

LightHouse may be easily installed and integrated into enterprise applications such as outage management systems (OMS), SCADA, and distribution management.
