POWER LINES

PrismaPower keeps your power transmission grid up and running, monitoring power lines for grid resiliency and improved capacity.

How it works

Power Grid Monitoring at Scale

The PrismaPower suite of solutions enables transmission operators to accurately monitor overhead and underground power lines for thousands of kilometers in real-time with nothing Installed on lines or towers

Alert on Extreme Weather

Power Grid Response-ability at Scale

With the rise in renewables usage and grid congestion, extreme weather, and the push for optimization and digitization, keeping the electric transmission grid in check has never been more vital. However, the grid’s vast size and scale make consistent monitoring challenging.

Keeping your grid running smoothly is hard. We know it, and we’re here to help.

The PrismaPower suite of solutions enables transmission system operators to accurately monitor overhead and underground power lines for thousands of kilometers or miles in real time.

 

PrismaPower suite of applications

 

PrismaPower monitors the transmission grid without installing extra sensors on power lines or towers. Instead, it’s an easy deployment, utilizing the existing optical fiber network on top of the transmission grid. PrismaPower applications can measure wind metrics on every span for DLR and support AAR regulatory demands such as FERC order 881.

With the capability to detect extreme weather events, from icing to lightning strikes and wildfires, PrismaPower boosts grid resilience. Enhanced monitoring features that alert for electrical issues like short circuits, flashovers, and partial discharges ensure grid reliability. Pinpointing physical vandalism and vegetation hits increases asset integrity.

PrismaPower is effective on the installation day with a short ramp-up time and effort. Reflecting a significant cost reduction in grid monitoring, it is a solution always there, 24×7, anywhere, anytime, and in any weather.

It is your response-ability at the grid’s scale.

Solution Architecture

For the last 20 years, transmission system operators have deployed fiber optic cables as part of their transmission grid. PrismaPower turns the existing Optical Ground Wire (OPGW) into a set of highly sensitive distributed sensors extending for hundreds and thousands of kilometers. The solution connects to one single dark fiber at a substation, sensing the grid. PrismaPower’s machine learning algorithms take the detailed data collected on the grid to detect and classify events, pinpointing them down to tower locations in real-time.

All the information and alerts are concentrated into one command and control center so PrismaPower can continue scaling with the grid. Moreover, with the revolutionary Pay-as-You-Grow service model – PrismaPower is your way to take off some of the burdens of responsibility.
