We recently installed these sensors in on our South Alburg 28-4A circuit and immediately noticed high voltage (126 is the highest we aim for) on one phase of the transformer. Our lineman measured voltage nearby and found that it was within tolerance. As it turns out we had a bad transformer that could have turned into an outage. We love gaining this visibility on our distribution system and keeping the lights on!
🗞 Hot off the presses! 🗞 Vermont Electric Cooperative (VEC) has selected Edge Zero to provide real-time visibility into its low voltage (LV) network. VEC is Edge's first U.S.-based customer, marking a huge achievement following the company's launch in the North American market earlier this year. “VEC is seeking to integrate a variety of distributed energy resources to maintain affordability and reliability for our members,” stated Cyril Brunner, Innovation and Technology Leader at VEC. “Edge Zero’s solution will help VEC identify grid constraints to generate a complete picture of our distribution grid so that we can manage distributed energy resources to reduce infrastructure impacts resulting from the energy transition.” Read all about it here: https://lnkd.in/dDeaMZJq #ZeroDoubts #DistributionGrid #GridTransformation #GridResiliency #GridReliability

VEC is #hiring for a Corporate Counsel. This is a great fit for someone who likes variety in their work, as we're large enough to need in-house counsel but small enough that the in-house counsel has to be nimble and eager to learn. If you are a member of the VT Bar and have at least two years of experience in utility/regulatory, business law, contracts law, or similar, I'd love to hear from you! Link to the application is here: https://lnkd.in/emncxkxx Always feel free to email at: [email protected]
