Nexans Smart Accessories
Integrating measurement and intelligence directly at medium voltage connection points, enabling reliable and future-ready power grids.
Managing growing grid complexity
Distribution networks are facing increasing complexity driven by the rapid growth of renewable energy sources, electrification of mobility and increasingly decentralized loads. What was once a predictable grid system is becoming more dynamic and harder to manage.
To operate these networks reliably, grid operators need more precise and timely insights into network behavior. Bringing measurement closer to the connection points where power is injected and distributed delivers higher operational value than centralized sensing alone.
One concept. Two use cases.
Nexans Smart Accessories follow one consistent approach to smart grid measurement, covering both existing installations and new projects. This enables distribution networks to evolve step by step within a single system concept.
