Consumer
Cooperative Supply
Accurate and reliable data at connection points is essential for generators and consumers to engage in peer-to-peer energy trading.
PowerPilot devices are low-cost and small enough to be deployed in various locations on the customer’s premises to control individual circuits. One possible application gives a consumer access to these load control devices through a mobile app so they can respond in real time to price signals and remotely control circuits to maximise the benefits of spot price tariff plans.
PowerPilot provides the monitoring and control capabilities required to run a RAPS operation. Whether it’s a mobile generator system for reconnecting a community cut off after a disaster, a permanent off-grid energy supply system, and whether or not energy storage is part of the system, PowerPilot lets you monitor the system and watch out for load-related problems that could reduce efficiency or damage equipment.
Safer Homes
With its innovative RCD monitoring solution, PowerPilot can advise the network manager and/or the consumer about regular tripping events.
These indicate that a short other issue exists in the premises, and we can automate the process that sends out an electrician to investigate. This means getting ahead of the problem, not waiting for an electric shock to occur that prompts action.
One of the main instigators of fires in the home are through electrical problems, and the PowerPilot is a massive leap to protecting the home.
Cheaper Insurance
Having a system that is proactive in informing the consumer about a fault not only reduces the direct safety risk on the people who live or visit the home, but has the potential to reduce insurance costs as a result.
All insurance companies are looking to limit their risk exposure and there’s no better way to negotiate a discount than to prove the reduction in risk than implementing the PowerPilot.

Conductor Down
PowerPilot provides an original solution to a long-standing electricity industry problem. How to detect that a live HV conductor is down when it falls to the ground while it is still connected at the load side..
Public and Network Safety
No comparable device integrates loop impedance monitoring with Voltage, Current, Power, Power Quality, Power Fluctuations and Harmonics.
Performance Management
The “Last Gasp ” loss-of-power report informs a control room immediately of a fault. This can mean that a crew can get to hazardous situation such as a “cable down” faster and reduce the time anyone is exposed to danger.
Reliability
Whenever power is lost, PowerPilot uses a small amount of stored energy to report the outage. This immediate alert to the control room means a maintenance crew can be dispatched to restore connectivity, potentially even before the consumer notices.
Performance
Dealing with customer complaints regarding power quality usually involves installing a power quality monitor and recording the voltage for a while, retrieving the device and then analysing the data to determine if corrective action is required, if the PQ monitor even records an excursion event at all.
