Case study Stadtwerke Velbert – Network digitization
Together with Horstmann, Stadtwerke Velbert is driving forward the digitalization of its electricity grid – with a clear goal: to identify and rectify faults more quickly.
More transparency for medium-voltage grids
In a joint pilot project, a short-circuit and earth fault indicator of the type
Sigma R+D 3 L connected via LoRaWAN for the first time – with impressive results:
✅ Fast fault signal via radio
✅ Simple integration into the existing LoRaWAN network
✅ Low-maintenance plug & play solution
✅ Improved network transparency in rural areas too
