Automating Overhead Lines

Electricity companies are constantly under pressure to meet ever more stringent performance measures, reducing both the number and duration of customer interruptions. Alongside this they need to improve network infrastructure to meet growing demand and manage the complexity that the growth in renewable energy adds.

Overhead networks present particular challenges for network companies. Often covering large distances in remote rural areas, finding and resolving faults in this part of the network can take a long time. To address this, many companies are using automation and remote control to improve overall energy efficiency and reduce power outages.
