KlikPower is a project led by Create Innovation Solutions Ltd and supported by CREST at Loughborough University focused on the development and evaluation of a very low cost, remotely readable, non-invasive electricity substation monitoring sensor using an innovative and disruptive technology already proven at TRL3 (experimental proof of concept) level, leading to a practical pilot demonstrator (TRL6 -- technology demonstrated in relevant environment) to gain knowhow to turn this idea into a product. KlikPower sensors will form a network which will provide data and information focused on the business needs of UK distribution network operators and private network operators including rail companies, together with similar organisations in other countries who require cost-effectively obtained and timely data in order to more actively and efficiently plan and operate their networks in a far more uncertain world -- where there are large amounts of intermittent renewable generation, many electric vehicles (which may be consuming or providing power) and much weather dependent heating connected to low voltage electricity networks.The KlikPower network has the potential to deliver data and information services at both lower costs and with more advanced functionality for both legacy and modern smart grid power distribution substations and cables enabling network operators to drive down their operating and capital costs to benefit customers whilst driving towards net zero targets.There is a strong market pull for such a device from these sectors with a potential avalanche of applications driven by the need to facilitate active network management to provide real-time support for intermittent low carbon generation, electric vehicles, and decarbonised space and water heating -- all necessary to decarbonise the economy in line with the Government's Clean Growth Strategy and to meet the legal requirement to achieve net zero in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050\.COVID19 has put immense pressure on almost all of the economy. As a result, many asset-based companies now have financial pressures, resource issues, operational restrictions changes to demand peaks and profiles and work backlogs. Additionally, there is a requirement to do more with existing infrastructure with fewer resources while improving sustainability and reducing carbon related emissions and minimising costs so as to limit the burden on energy and other users. A step change in operational strategies is needed to fulfil these requirements. KlikPower is directly focused on the achievement of this by providing systems that deliver a step-change.Create Innovation Solutions Ltd. is an SME that specialises in scoping innovation and is working on this project with the Centre for Renewable Energy Systems Technology (CREST) at Loughborough University.

KlikPower是由Create Innovation Solutions Ltd领导并由拉夫堡大学CREST支持的一个项目，该项目专注于开发和评估一种成本非常低、远程可读、非侵入式变电站监控传感器，该传感器使用的是一种已经在TRL 3中得到验证的创新和颠覆性技术。（实验概念验证）水平，导致一个实际的试点示范（TRL 6-在相关环境中演示的技术），以获得将这一想法转化为产品的专有技术。KlikPower传感器将形成一个网络，该网络将提供数据和信息，重点关注英国配电网络运营商和包括铁路公司在内的私有网络运营商的业务需求，与其他国家的类似组织一起，他们需要以具有成本效益的方式获得及时的数据，以便在一个更加不确定的世界中更积极有效地规划和运营他们的网络-在有大量间歇性可再生能源发电的地方，许多电动车（可能消耗或提供电力）KlikPower网络有潜力以更低的成本提供数据和信息服务，并具有更先进的功能，传统和现代智能电网配电变电站和电缆，使网络运营商能够降低其运营和资本成本，使客户受益，同时实现净零目标。这些行业对此类设备具有强大的市场吸引力，由于需要促进主动网络管理，从而为间歇性低碳发电提供实时支持，电动汽车，以及脱碳空间和水加热-所有这些都是根据政府的清洁增长战略实现经济脱碳的必要条件，并满足到2050年实现温室气体净零排放的法律的要求。因此，许多以资产为基础的公司现在面临财务压力、资源问题、需求高峰和概况的运营限制变化以及工作积压。此外，还需要以更少的资源利用现有基础设施做更多的工作，同时提高可持续性，减少与碳相关的排放，并最大限度地降低成本，以限制能源和其他用户的负担。为满足这些要求，需要逐步改变业务战略。KlikPower直接致力于通过提供提供可实现阶跃变化的系统来实现这一目标。Create Innovation Solutions Ltd.是一家专门从事范围创新的中小企业，目前正在与拉夫堡大学可再生能源系统技术中心（CREST）合作开展该项目。
