24/7 Visibility Underground: Flexible, Bundled Solution from S&C Drives Grid Resilience by Helping Utilities Monitor, Report, and Respond Faster
March 25, 2025
S&C Electric Company announced a combined solution featuring S&C’s EdgeRestore system and Ubicquia’s UbiGrid DTM+. This integrated package allows utilities to add communications and leverage analytics as they deploy S&C’s EdgeRestore system.
Combining EdgeRestore system’s intelligence and automation with the grid visibility of UbiGrid DTM+ allows utilities to monitor critical restoration operations and other device statuses, providing greater situational awareness and predictive analytics for enhanced system reliability and more efficient fault responses.
“S&C continues to drive intelligence and action for resilient power distribution by integrating cost-effective visibility and communication solutions into our portfolio. Situational awareness and actionable information help customers improve reliability, reduce outages, and optimize operations,” said Joseph Matamoros, Chief Product Development Officer at S&C Electric Company. “S&C’s approach allows customers to add visibility where needed through a simple integration between UbiGrid DTM+ and EdgeRestore.”
Delivering Underground Grid Resilience
S&C’s EdgeRestore system is a first-in-the-world solution that modernizes the last mile of underground power distribution. When a fault occurs on an underground residential loop, the EdgeRestore system automatically locates and isolates the fault and reroutes power from an alternate source—all within 60 seconds. When paired with Ubicquia’s UbiGrid DTM+, which independently monitors the underground network to provide fault information and device health status, the solution delivers utilities 24/7 visibility and communication flexibility for monitoring, reporting, analyzing, and responding to faults on underground distribution circuits.
“This collaboration with S&C is a game-changer for underground circuits. The bundled solution delivers insights beyond algorithms, incorporating extensive field-testing and collaboration with storm response and asset- management experts,” said Dave Herlong, Chief Operating Officer at Ubicquia. “By integrating real-world expertise, we enhance operational efficiency and service reliability, empowering utilities and municipalities to respond swiftly to emergencies, minimize storm impacts, and reduce outage durations.”
