Building upon the best-in-class Stratus® metering platform, the Stratus IQ+ combines grid edge intelligence with precise energy measurement into one powerful package. This meter provides utilities with the data visibility and control needed to quickly adapt to a rapidly evolving smart grid.
Support for customers or 3rd party developed applications further enhancing Edge computing capability.
The expansion card slot enables added capability now or in the future, including alternate communication choices, a second application processor or a combination of these options.
With the ability to make metrology adjustments over-the-air, utilities are prepared for whatever the future holds.
Four-quadrant metering is just the beginning. By simultaneously measuring real, apparent and reactive energy, the Stratus IQ+ gives utilities the competitive knowledge necessary to be more efficient in the generation and distribution of power.
The Stratus IQ+ has 32 channels of load profile data in four data sets along with line-side and load-side voltage reporting. This insight gives utilities the concrete information needed to make data-driven decisions. No other meter on the market provides this type of system visibility.
The Stratus IQ+ has “software defined metrology” with features that help utilities improve operations in three areas; efficiency (power management & operations), cost savings, and safety. Stratus IQ+ offers the ability to gather data in near-real time. With its dramatic increase in horsepower and expanded data set options, utilities will be able to pull more diagnostics and therefore get a more robust picture of their distribution system and customer usage. Due to the rugged design, the meter will be less susceptible to theft/tampering and weather damage. Therefore, less maintenance and fewer replacements will be necessary. This device is future proof with expansive memory, speed and the expansion slot will allow for multiple applications and features that haven’t been created yet.
