Tantalus Systems (GRID) Status Update summary

Enhanced data collection and real-time analytics

• TRUSense Gateway enables utilities to collect 15,000 data samples per second, providing substation-quality, real-time data at the residential level, including voltage, current, and power quality metrics.

• The system supports instant querying of meters, allowing for immediate consumption and voltage readings, which aids in rapid response to outages and high bill complaints.

• TRUPush technology delivers real-time, event-driven data to utilities, eliminating the delays of batch processing and enabling proactive management of grid events.

• Data granularity extends to monitoring individual appliances and circuits, offering insights into behind-the-meter activity and supporting customer engagement.

Grid optimization and asset management

• AI and machine learning are used to analyze transformer loads, detect overloads, reverse power flow, and identify idle or underloaded transformers, helping utilities optimize asset use and prevent costly failures.

• Utilities can monitor and manage transformer health, extend asset life, and avoid unnecessary upgrades by leveraging real-time load data and predictive analytics.

• The system supports remote disconnects, prepay programs, and bi-directional metering for distributed energy resources, enhancing operational flexibility.

Customer service and operational efficiency

• Utilities can resolve high bill complaints with precise, minute-by-minute usage data, reducing customer frustration and improving transparency.

• Remote capabilities reduce the need for field visits, saving costs and enabling faster service restoration.

• Automated alarms and instant notifications for outages, voltage sags, and consumption anomalies strengthen the utility-customer relationship.
