FAQs on GridSense™ Platform
What systems can GridSense™ integrate with?
GridSense™ is built with open APIs and data connectors that allow seamless integration with typical utility systems such as SCADA, GIS, OMS, AMI, and RTUs. It can also ingest data from IoT sensors, mobile inspection apps, historian databases, and other asset‑management platforms. This open architecture lets you unify real‑time telemetry, legacy files, and third‑party analytics in one place-eliminating data silos and giving operators a single, trusted view of the grid.
Can GridSense™ be deployed on a private cloud?
Yes. GridSense™ offers three flexible deployment options:
- Public cloud for rapid scaling and managed infrastructure
- Private or sovereign cloud when data residency or strict IT policies demand additional control
- On‑premise or hybrid environments that keep sensitive data behind the firewall while still leveraging cloud analytics.
Regardless of the hosting choice, all modules use the same security model, role‑based access controls, and encryption standards.
Do the IQ modules work independently?
Absolutely. Each IQ module-GridIQ, SubStationIQ, PoleIQ, and ReliabilityIQ-can be licensed and deployed standalone to solve a specific problem (e.g., transformer fault prediction at selected substations). When multiple IQs are activated together, they share data and insights over a common platform bus, giving you a unified view of grid performance without duplicate integrations or data pipelines.
Is ReliabilityIQ customizable for local regulations?
Yes. ReliabilityIQ ships with default calculations for SAIDI, SAIFI, CAIDI, CEMI‑4/5, and ESG metrics, but every KPI formula, threshold, and reporting template can be modified via no‑code configuration. Utilities can align reports with local or national standards-whether it’s IEEE‑1366 in North America, GRESB benchmarks, or region‑specific outage definitions-ensuring compliance and consistent regulatory submissions.
