The document discusses Landis+Gyr's solutions for addressing utility challenges, including the Advanced Smart Grid Terminal (ASGT) and Smart Grid Device Integrator (SGDI). The ASGT is a metering node that aggregates and transmits real-time MV/LV monitoring and control data to utility IT systems. It provides benefits like fault management, power quality monitoring, and renewable integration. The SGDI is a solution that seamlessly integrates smart grid devices from various manufacturers to provide a cross-functional monitoring and control platform. It has helped utilities like Enexis B.V. reduce outage times.

9. Introduction to the Advanced Smart Grid Terminal
Advanced Smart Grid Terminal is a metering node with the
smart grid functionality of MV/LV Monitoring and Control
 In combination with the SmartCom RTU, it aggregates
and transmits the real-time data to the utility IT business
system like SCADA or another energy management
platform.
 By combining billing capabilities, renewables and
microgeneration integration and streetlight functionality
in only one device the solution enables utility to secure
its investments and reduce operational costs.
 It cost-effectively satisfies DNO’s smart grid
requirements for secondary transformers, which
improves the quality of service and protects utility’s
existing energy management assets.

Advanced Smart Grid Terminal combines state-of-the-art
metering design with intelligent communication.
Advanced Smart Grid Terminal meets all metering
standards applicable to the respective requirements.
Additionally, it already meets requirements with
regards to the immunity of high frequency – from 9 -
150 kHz, generated from renewable inverts and EV
charger equipment and combined with the SmartCom
RTU it intelligently brings real-time data to the power
companies’ high-level IT systems like SCADA or other
grid management IT platforms.

12. Introduction to the Smart Grid Device Integrator
The Smart Grid Device Integrator is a MV/LV
Monitoring and Control solution which
integrates existing and new smart grid devices
independent of their functionality.
 The solution enables utilities to create a cross-functional
smart grid platform in the substations
through seamless integration of all the smart grid
devices into the customer IT business system like
SCADA or another energy management platform,
which provides investment security and existing asset
protection.
 By implementing advanced fault management utilities
are able to reduce their SAIDI and SAIFI and
significantly improve the power distribution quality in
their markets.
