A project by Luceo Energy that shows the effect of solar exports on the grid is expected to help the network owner target investment in capacity.

As solar exports continue to flow off rooftops and cause hotspots of instability within distribution networks, the owners of those poles and wires can be frustrated by how difficult it is to see exactly what’s going on. A river of data from the luceo sensors puts Energy Queensland’s operations in clear view.

luceo provides energy companies with real-time data, so they can see changes as they are happening; they can see their network breathe in quite a small resolution.
