Distributed Electrical Sensing (DES)
We reduce outage and operational cost with the world’s only distributed sensor technology
for operators of complex power systems.
Our passive sensors require no power or data networks, and provide live data more reliably and securely from more locations than conventional technologies. This wide area, multi-point technology is ideal for automated condition monitoring, reduced scheduled maintenance, improved asset management decisions and upgraded protection schemes.
