Distributed IntelligenceIntelligence that empowers

Achieve new levels of control and situational awareness with distributed intelligence—while transforming your operations and how you engage with your customers.

WHAT'S NEW:

Itron Unveils New Brand Identity, Ushering in New Era of Grid Edge Intelligence.

Unprecedented situational awareness, operational efficiency and insight at the grid edge

Distributed energy resources (DERs) are increasingly placed at the grid’s edge, and without insight into low- and medium-voltage distribution networks, utilities can’t manage and optimize these assets. 

With distributed intelligence, gain greater distribution system visibility and control out to the grid edge. Itron’s secure, open-enterprise, distributed intelligence platform increases awareness and leads to more confident decisions while streamlining real-time grid operations.

  • Increase grid resiliency and reliability by managing rapidly changing conditions such as voltage/frequency values.

  • Engage consumers as partners to address grid issues related to DERs.

  • Integrate renewables and enable responsible energy management for a sustainable future.

A foundation for real-time grid operations and awareness

Distributed intelligence moves grid analysis, decision-making and control to the grid’s edge, reducing latency of action, greatly improving situational awareness and enabling precise analysis and advanced event detection. The result? An optimized grid, better asset management, integrated DERs and more engaged consumers.
