Problem
Equipment failures such as arcing, conductor contact, and other faults on distribution lines are a leading cause of wildfires, and existing detection systems are too slow or imprecise to prevent ignition and enable rapid response.
Solution
Grid Health Intelligence offers GridIQ, a patent‑pending, signal‑based sensor that continuously monitors up to one mile of conductor and classifies anomalies—including arcing, contact, and equipment failure—within milliseconds. The sensor provides meter‑level fault localization, delivering real‑time alerts to operations centers and field crews so utilities can intervene before a fire ignites or spreads. Designed for legacy compatibility, GridIQ integrates with existing poles, reclosers, and aging equipment, giving utilities actionable situational awareness without extensive infrastructure upgrades.
Target Audience
Primary customers are electric utility operators and infrastructure managers responsible for distribution networks in wildfire‑prone regions.
Features
- Signal‑based sensing technology that detects fault signatures in real time with millisecond classification
- Meter‑level fault localization covering up to one mile of conductor per sensor
- Instant alerting platform that streams actionable insights to control rooms and field teams
- Compatibility with existing utility hardware, enabling retrofitting on poles, reclosers, and other assets
- Continuous monitoring that reduces ignition risk and supports compliance with wildfire liability and regulatory requirements
