As Australia braces for a surge in rooftop solar exports, home battery installations and electric vehicle adoption, its low-voltage (LV) networks are coming under increasing pressure. A recent PV Magazine article featuring Neil Davies, Managing Director at EA Technology Australia, explores how proven grid-edge technology can help manage these emerging challenges.
EA Technology’s real-time monitoring device, the VisNet Hub, already supports over 5.5 million homes in the UK, providing Distribution Network Service Providers (DNSPs) with advanced technology that detects faults before they occur and enhances network reliability.
As Australia faces similar electrification challenges, Neil Davies explains that “grid-edge intelligence helps DNSPs defer costly network upgrades while maintaining reliability and optimising the hosting capacity of distributed energy resources.”
VisNet Hub provides real-time visibility across substations, helping DNSPs unlock grid capacity, manage constraints proactively, and support Dynamic Operating Envelopes that enable greater integration of distributed energy resources.
