Phasora is striving to ensure the reliability of future electricity networks; with user-customisable, high-tech GPS-synchronised sensors, and intelligent analysis software that can help to effectively manage the increasingly dynamic electricity grid, in real-time.Our advanced, flexible, and cost-effective, sensor technology, can be installed right-across the electricity grid, into places where existing technologies cannot feasibly reach.This massive scale of data, generated by our sensors, will serve as the foundation for our development of novel, smart grid applications. The intelligent software applications that we develop, will provide electricity network operators with the actionable intelligence required, to effectively manage their increasingly dynamic networks.Our solutions will have a number of benefits. In the short term, this is cost-saving for electricity network operators by providing the granular visibility necessary, in order to detect and locate faults faster, to make better infrastructure upgrade decisions, and to help actively and effectively manage the increasingly dynamic electricity grid. The resulting savings, in reduced down-time and resource requirements, may potentially be passed to customers. In the longer-term, there are clear benefits in the technologies our measurement platform enables, in transitioning toward a zero-carbon future.In 2019, we took part in the ICURe programme, an InnovateUK-funded global customer discovery exercise. During this, we spoke with many electricity network operators around the globe. These conversations indicated that the requirement for such technologies, is very timely and that we are in a position to have a 'first mover' advantage in the market; with both an ability to produce highly intelligent sensors, at a much lower cost, making widespread deployment in distribution networks possible for the first time; and, with a headstart in building the software applications that utilise this unprecedented level of data.The InnovateUK follow-on funding will enable us to refine our sensor hardware to a mass-producible 'product' stage, and in parallel, to develop several intelligent software applications based on this increased level of network visibility.With an injection of public funding, we expect to have our sensor solution available to market towards the end of 2021, and some software applications in early 2022\.

Phasora正在努力确保未来电网的可靠性;通过用户可定制的高科技GPS同步传感器和智能分析软件，可以帮助实时有效地管理日益变化的电网。我们先进、灵活且具有成本效益的传感器技术可以安装在整个电网中，这些由我们的传感器产生的大规模数据将成为我们开发新型智能电网应用的基础。我们开发的智能软件应用程序将为电网运营商提供所需的可操作智能，以有效管理其日益动态的网络。我们的解决方案将具有许多优势。从短期来看，这为电网运营商节省了成本，提供了必要的粒度可见性，以便更快地检测和定位故障，做出更好的基础设施升级决策，并帮助积极有效地管理日益动态的电网。由此产生的节省，在减少停机时间和资源需求，可能会传递给客户。从长远来看，我们的测量平台所支持的技术在向零碳未来过渡方面具有明显的优势。2019年，我们参加了ICURe计划，这是一项由InnovateUK资助的全球客户发现活动。在此期间，我们与地球仪的许多电力网络运营商进行了交谈。这些对话表明，对此类技术的需求非常及时，我们能够在市场上拥有“先行者”优势;既有能力以低得多的成本生产高度智能的传感器，首次使配电网络的广泛部署成为可能; InnovateUK的后续资金将使我们能够将我们的传感器硬件改进到可大规模生产的“产品”阶段，同时，我们将根据网络可视性的提高开发多个智能软件应用程序。随着公共资金的注入，我们预计传感器解决方案将于2021年底推向市场，部分软件应用程序将于2022年初推出。
