One way to check the electricity network is resilient is to monitor the voltage of electricity as widely as possible. The aim of ADVENT is to conduct a trial to test this theory – by collecting and reporting voltage readings taken from multiple points across your neighbourhood – to see whether it is feasible to use this information to provide an insight to the health of your local electricity network.
More and more electrical devices at home will be connected to the internet in future, and some may report voltage. We therefore want to test whether obtaining data in this way can provide a quicker, more cost-effective approach that will benefit all our communities during this low carbon transition.
