From Devices to Decisions: How Edge Computing Is Redefining Distribution Grid Performance
As DER penetration, EV growth, and load volatility accelerate, distribution networks need real-time intelligence at the edge. This session explores how edge computing transforms traditional devices into localized decision engines—capable of faster fault response, improved voltage control, and coordinated automation without relying on central systems.
By processing data where it’s created, utilities can reduce latency, enhance power quality and resiliency, and unlock flexible, scalable distribution operations. Attendees will learn how edge-native analytics enable the shift from device-based automation to a digitally empowered, self-optimizing distribution grid.
