Enlit 2024: Shaping the Future of a Decentralized Grid

Enlit 2024, Europe's premier energy event, is quickly approaching! From Oct. 22-24 in Milan, Italy, we're joining industry leaders to explore the latest trends in energy, the energy transition and decarbonization.

With more than 15,000 attendees, 700 exhibitors and 500 speakers expected, Enlit will offer a mix of high-level summit sessions, topic-driven hubs and a dedicated zone for EU-funded projects. Itron's team of experts will be at booth 6B102, showcasing cutting-edge solutions designed to help utilities tackle the evolving challenges of the low-voltage network and decentralized grid. Attendees will learn how Itron's solutions enhance grid stability, engage consumers, advance sustainability and optimize operations.

In the Itron booth, attendees can look forward to:

Exploring the Edge of Possibility

Increasing decentralization stimulated by distributed energy resource (DER) adoption and electrification is making forecasting and grid balance and control more challenging for utilities. This disruption is occurring in the low-voltage network, where a visibility gap exists. To bridge this gap, Itron developed the Grid Edge Intelligence portfolio, which is pre-integrated with a set of modular software applications built on a combination of centralized and edge distributed real-time analytics. Stop by booth 6B102 to learn more about the breadth of the portfolio, which ranges from standard advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) solutions to advanced grid applications, enabling utilities to solve any problem across their distribution grid.

Addressing Water Scarcity Concerns

Around the world, water loss and leak prevention are among the top priorities for water utilities. Itron's leading Intelis wSource Smart Meter can withstand harsh weather conditions, detect leaks quicker and ensure reliability and accuracy. The Intelis wSource hybrid communications module preserves the meter's battery life and simplifies the transition to AMI, streamlining data collection processes. In booth 6B102, attendees will gain an understanding of how Itron water solutions support utilities in their sustained efforts to minimize water loss, starting with ultrasonic technology that is setting the stage for new standards of metrology excellence.

Digitizing Distribution Networks

To maintain resilient and reliable service delivery, utilities are digitizing their water and gas distribution networks. In Itron booth 6B102, Enlit attendees will learn more about the advanced technology enabling this transformation, like the CybleTM 5 communication module, which is designed to turn mechanical meters into communication data points. The module enables fast drive-by agility with its embedded multi-connectivity options, adapts to complex deployments and evolves with the needs from the field, making it a safe, cost-effective investment for utilities of all sizes.

Embarking on the Itron Experience

More intelligence from the right places throughout your delivery system will help unlock more possibilities than ever before. But have you ever wondered how it all comes together? If you're attending Enlit, find out by participating in the Itron Experience, a showcase of smart technologies in a real-world setting. In this 20-minute interactive demo, you'll be in the driver's seat where you'll have the opportunity to "Choose Your Own Grid Adventure" and see how your decisions just might make or break the grid.
