Innovation is driving the energy and utilities industry today and part of the critical need is sensor technology. It enables real-time monitoring, automates grid management, and drives predictive maintenance. The benefits are many.
Enter Gridware, a San Francisco-based company that was co-founded by a lineman turned engineer. The company pioneered Active Grid Response (AGR) — a new category of grid intelligence that brings real-time visibility to the physical, electrical, and environmental conditions of every span of the electrical grid.
It is arming lineworkers with the information needed to spend their time fixing the grid instead of searching for problems. PUF Executive Editor Rachel Bryant found out more about this groundbreaking company in conversation with Gridware Director of Regulatory Affairs & Policy Jessie Calderon.
