MICATU GEN2 Turns Grid-Edge Data into Utility Gold

In a rapidly evolving energy landscape, electric utility operators are under pressure to modernize their grids while ensuring reliability, safety, and efficiency. Enter MICATU GEN2, the revolutionary optical sensor platform that sets a new standard for grid automation and precision management.

Unlike traditional electrical sensing devices, MICATU GEN2 measures voltage and current with optical precision, bypassing the need for conductive pathways. This means no electrons pass through the device, virtually eliminating fire, surge risks, and maintenance headaches. Designed for extreme conditions and equipped with advanced AI-powered self-calibration, GEN2 redefines the term "hang and forget."

Why Utility Operators Should Care

• Unmatched Precision: The platform’s proprietary dual RTP crystal system provides ±0.5° phase angle accuracy, stabilizing readings regardless of temperature fluctuations or high-voltage faults. No more data inconsistencies during critical grid events.
• Resilience Beyond Compare: Capable of withstanding fault currents up to 35kA, GEN2 thrives in the harshest environments. Its reinforced construction, SUN-SHIELD, and non-conductive design make it a fortress of reliability.
• Future-Proof Modularity: Supporting both analog and digital integrations, GEN2 is a dynamic platform that evolves with your grid. Its modular design accommodates future upgrades, ensuring you stay ahead of the curve.

The Economic Impact

Phase One testing has already proven GEN2's operational benefits. Utilities reported measurable gains in efficiency and reliability through seamless data integration and simplified deployment. By delivering real-time, accurate data, GEN2 empowers operators to make informed decisions that minimize outages, reduce energy losses, and maximize grid capacity.

The cherry on top? Enhanced grid visibility leads to significant reductions in maintenance costs and carbon emissions, delivering both financial and environmental ROI.

A Platform, Not Just a Sensor

With MICATU GEN2, utility operators aren’t just investing in sensors; they’re investing in a smarter, safer, and more sustainable grid. Whether retrofitting an aging system or equipping a cutting-edge network, GEN2 provides the resilience and precision to meet today’s challenges and tomorrow’s innovations.
