GridWatch will power the smart networks of the future
by John Kennedy.
A key enabler of GridWatch’s technology is a new type of patented current sensor that was specifically developed for monitoring medium and low-voltage power networks.
“The sensor detects problems on the network that can stress the assets of the network, that could ultimately lead to failure and outages.
“It also assists in managing the integration of ever more distributed renewable energy sources on the grid as well as new capacity demands, such as electric vehicle charging.
“The ultimate goal is for GridWatch to be the leading global brand in smart grid monitoring technology.”
O’Flaherty said things are going very well for the company so far.
“We originally worked with ESB Networks to develop our solutions for them, and now we are undertaking pilot trials in Ireland, Italy, Germany and Romania.
“And, with our success in the Free Electrons Bootcamp in Lisbon, we are discussing further pilots to be undertaken globally.
“And yes, we looking to attract investment to fund our growth and scaling up to meet the demand.”
