Commercialisation of novel hardware and software solutions for electricity distribution grids

Phasora正在努力确保未来电网的可靠性；拥有用户可定制的高科技gps同步传感器和智能分析软件，可以帮助有效地实时管理日益动态的电网。我们先进、灵活且具有成本效益的传感器技术可以安装在电网的各个地方，在现有技术无法实现的地方。这些由我们的传感器产生的海量数据，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。我们的解决方案将有许多好处。在短期内，通过提供必要的粒度可见性，为电网运营商节省成本，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。由此节省的停机时间和资源需求可能会传递给客户。从长远来看，我们的测量平台在向零碳未来过渡的过程中具有明显的优势。2019年，我们参加了由创新英国资助的全球客户发现活动ICURe计划。在此期间，我们与全球许多电力网络运营商进行了交谈。这些对话表明，对这些技术的需求是非常及时的，我们在市场上处于“先发”优势地位；它能够以更低的成本生产高度智能的传感器，使其首次在配电网中广泛部署成为可能；并且，在开发利用这一前所未有的数据水平的软件应用程序方面处于领先地位。InnovateUK的后续资金将使我们能够将传感器硬件改进到可批量生产的“产品”阶段，同时，基于这种提高的网络可见性水平，开发几种智能软件应用程序。随着公共资金的注入，我们预计我们的传感器解决方案将于2021年底上市，并在2022年初推出一些软件应用。

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\.
