Distribution Grid Monitor (DGM)
Down the Line Monitoring for Voltage Optimization
The DGM provides accurate end-of-line voltages to Conservation Voltage Reduction (CVR) and Volt-VAR Optimization (VVO) schemes. When equipped with current inputs the DGM can provide complete SCADA data from unmonitored rural substations and step-down sites. In FLISR schemes, the DGM can provide indication of overcurrent fault and can provide peak fault currents.

The DGM is a power monitoring solution–also known as a “primary in a box”–that consists of a Bitronics M661 meter, matched Lindsey LEA (low energy analog) sensors, and cabling, plus an optional OrionMX RTU for cybersecurity, I/O, and automation functions.
