Reliability isn’t reaction. It’s foresight.
Thaora Distribution Intelligence gives Distribution System Operators full visibility into low-voltage networks and secondary substations, the parts of the grid that are usually left unmonitored.

Know What’s Coming.

Not Just What’s Happened.

It combines advanced electrical measurements with local data processing to deliver near real-time awareness of voltage anomalies, outages, communication failures, and environmental risks such as temperature, humidity, or ozone buildup.

Data is collected from a range of field devices over LPWAN and mobile networks, then mapped onto the actual grid topology to show not just values, but context.

Operators see where issues are forming, not just where they’ve already happened.

With this level of granularity, maintenance shifts from reactive intervention to proactive stability. Congestion is managed before escalation. Critical assets stay in service longer and the grid finally becomes observable all the way to the edge.

How Thaora Distribution Intelligence Works

Thaora Distribution Intelligence, a module of the Thaora platform, is built to extend observability and monitoring into low-voltage (LV) networks and secondary substations (10(20)/0.4 kV) across DSOs. It unifies advanced electrical measurements and environmental inputs into a single system, providing near real-time situational awareness, faster anomaly response, and more reliable operation of critical assets.

1

Measurement Subsystem

The measurement layer consists of field devices such as sensors, signal units, and measurement instruments installed across LV networks and secondary substations. While these devices are not part of the Thaora platform itself, they form the primary data source within the customer’s or system integrator’s environment. Thaora is designed to accept heterogeneous devices and protocols without vendor lock-in.

2

Communication Layer

The communication layer securely transfers measurement data from field devices to the Thaora platform in real or near real time. This is the first interface between the metering infrastructure and the platform, supporting multiple transport technologies such as cellular and LPWAN networks to ensure reliable delivery under varied grid conditions.

3

Data Storage and Management

Thaora Distribution Intelligence includes a centralized time-series database optimized for high-frequency grid measurements.

It integrates with existing DSO systems — including SCADA, ADMS, and asset management platforms — via secure, standards-based APIs, ensuring data consistency and supporting cross-functional workflows.

Data warehouse capabilities enable deep analysis, aggregation, and reporting of historical grid states.

4

Analytics and Algorithmic Layer

Incoming data streams are normalized, validated, and mapped against the electrical network topology.

Advanced analytics including AI/ML models detect voltage anomalies, outages, communication loss, or environmental hazards such as temperature, humidity, and ozone.

Statistical and numerical models identify congestion trends, predict asset stress, and support proactive maintenance strategies.

Historical data continually refines the predictive models for improved accuracy over time.

5

Visualization and Control Layer

Operators access real-time dashboards via web or mobile interfaces, displaying the LV network with live status, alarms, trend views, and event logs.

This layer translates raw telemetry into actionable insights, allowing faster and more informed operational and strategic decisions.

6

Integration and Interoperability

The platform’s modular architecture supports seamless onboarding of new measurement devices, protocols, and analytics components.

Processed data can be securely forwarded to external enterprise or regulatory systems, enabling full end-to-end interoperability.

Engineered for high scalability, the system supports thousands of substations and millions of data points without performance loss.

7

Deployment Model

Thaora Distribution Intelligence is cloud-native and supports deployment on-premises or through major cloud providers such as AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure.

This hybrid approach ensures scalability, cybersecurity compliance, and alignment with operator IT policies — while maintaining full data sovereignty.
