Electrification X – Distribution Grid Monitoring

Why Electrification X – Distribution Grid Monitoring?

Distribution grid monitoring systems play a crucial role in modernizing and optimizing electrical grids. Electrification X – Distribution Grid Monitoring precisely monitors all medium and low voltage (MV/LV) distribution grid stations and street cabinets. It provides insights into grid utilization to identify bottlenecks and detect overloads, helping avoid power constraints and failures. As part of the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio, it accelerates digital transformation easier, faster, and at scale.

Key benefits

Prevent bottlenecks and overloads

Proactively detect overload conditions long before components reach critical limits, helping operators avoid power constraints and maintain reliable grid performance.

Strengthen grid planning and upgrades

Use digitalization and robust data insights to guide redispatch decisions and target grid upgrades where they deliver the greatest impact.

Accelerate transparency and rollout

Bundling with SICAM EGS and 3NA COM streamlines installation and onboarding, enabling fast deployment and clear visibility into load patterns and power consumption.

Featured capabilities

Localize faults with map-based visibility

A map view pinpoints critical incidents, alarms and faults across cable-network transformer stations, secondary substations and street cabinets, giving operators clear, location-based insight into grid events.

Monitor grid parameters in real time

Continuously track key electrical values — current, voltage, frequency, power factor, active and reactive power — from RMUs and distribution transformers to ensure accurate, up-to-date awareness of grid conditions.

Benchmark feeder load with smart sensing

Smart fuses like 3NA COM measure load current and temperature, enabling feeder profiling and heatmap benchmarking to reveal usage patterns and support better capacity and reliability planning.
