iniGrid innovates the way electric energy is brought to end-use equipment by providing innovative sensor and actuator technology for actively managed and fault-protected distribution grids. Essential future functionalities such as dynamic management of line use as well as fault detection and fast service restoration are only possible with appropriate sensors and actuators in place. These sensors and actuators are missing today on the distribution level of a power grid. Radically new semiconductor-based components that will be developed by iniGrid, alongside the necessary IT and secure networking concepts, will address this shortcoming, and are aimed for commercial and grid applications.
