This success case shows how ESO integrated its Smart Metering Information System with its Distribution Management System to give dispatchers near real-time visibility into the low-voltage network. Using alarms from 1.4 million smart meters and an intermediate filtering system, operators can detect outages faster, estimate fault locations and outage scope, send proactive customer notifications, and verify restoration through on-demand meter polls. The result is improved response and restoration times and better operational awareness across the LV network.
