Problem
Aging distribution transformers lack accessible, real-time performance data, creating blind spots in the low-voltage grid. Conventional inspection, maintenance, and congestion management methods struggle to keep pace with increasing electrification. This lack of visibility hinders efficient asset management and prevents optimal utilization of existing grid capacity.
Solution
Oktogrid provides a non-invasive sensing technology that enables electricity providers to add a digital interface to any transformer in under ten minutes, without requiring outages or specialized tooling. The solution facilitates real-time monitoring of transformer and grid performance data, enabling proactive responses to congestion and optimized asset management. By converting raw data into actionable insights, Oktogrid empowers informed decision-making, enhances grid stability, and extends asset lifespan. The system provides continuous monitoring of key parameters, including grid frequency, harmonics, and load profiles, while also offering early fault detection and overload forecasting capabilities.
Target Audience
Oktogrid's primary customers include electricity providers, distribution system operators (DSOs), wind original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), suppliers, consultants, and research and development teams.
