Smart Meters
GEn8-series
The Gridspertise GEn8 smart meter family covers a wide range of needs, from essential metering to advanced applications with more demanding requirements. Across residential and industrial applications, utilities can choose the capabilities that fit each use case. The entire range is engineered in Europe with security built in by design.
Overview
Gridspertise GEn8 smart meter family gives utilities the flexibility to adapt to changing requirements. Thanks to DLMS/COSEM with flexible interoperability, the meters are designed to integrate with existing systems, helping utilities simplify operations, as well as manage total cost of ownership.
GEn8 family lets you combine capabilities and choose the right level of performance for each application, so you can get more value from your smart metering rollout.
Features
GEn8 meters provide the core capabilities for efficient and reliable metering operations, including remote meter reading, load profile collection, multi-tariff billing and time-of-use applications. Remote connection and disconnection, as well as alarm and event reporting support efficient grid operations and customer service.
Extensive tampering detection and alarm functions help identify unauthorized access and manipulation attempts. This supports compliance with market-specific regulatory requirements, protects metering integrity and helps utilities reduce non-technical losses.
GEn8 meters combine robust construction with features supporting straightforward installation, long-term durability and dependable operation.
Engineered to meet demanding environmental requirements, the metes are designed to withstand challenging operating conditions, including extreme temperatures.
Beyond traditional energy measurements and billing, the advanced models of the GEn8 family support a wide range of grid operations, including remote connection management, load control, event reporting and network monitoring.
Advanced capabilities provide deeper insight into power quality and network conditions, helping utilities identify disturbances, monitor grid performance and respond to changing demands.
The GEn8 family provides the right choice for every demand. The models with configurable functions and field-modular communication enable adaptation to changing requirements. PLC and cellular communication options suit different network conditions, while wide interoperability supports system integration. The optional integrated Auxiliary Control Switch enables dynamic load control, and the P1 interface gives customers near real-time access to their energy consumption data for applications where this is needed.
