Retrofitting with today’s Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)-based monitoring solutions is costly and takes years to plan and build. 

Learn what steps DTE Energy took to provide more reliable service to its customers:

• Deployed additional Aclara’s line sensors for its unmonitored substations, at a fraction of the cost to set up SCADA
   
• Leveraged the Smart Grid Sensors data by integrating with its ABB Tropos wireless network architecture across its entire system
   

“We needed the ability to modernize and monitor our network in an affordable way and effectively utilize our resources to improve restoration time, the Aclara’s sensors provide a way to quickly deploy monitoring at many locations.”
