SmartSynch's SmartMeter System helps utilities to reduce the duration of power outages by speeding up the detection, notification, investigation and restoration processes.
The SmartMeter System features real-time notification of power outages via existing cellular networks. When a deployed SmartMeter experiences an outage, an alarm is automatically sent to the host system, where it is recorded and routed to designated users, outage management systems and field technicians. SmartMeters also notify the host system when the power is restored following an outage.
With patented built-in ultracapacitor energy storage, each SmartMeter will transmit a “last gasp” notification when detecting an AC power outage at the metering point. The SmartMeter will also notify TMS or other head-end software application when the AC power is restored. TMS enables the configuration of the SmartMeter module to transmit these alarms if the corresponding events last a specified minimum duration.
