TPX Energy Smart Grid Distribution Automation technologies focus on detecting and pinpointing 90% of the sudden irreversible faults on the distribution grid. Knowing exactly where, when and what asset is faulting reduces the time needed to restore power, thus reducing system average interruption duration index (SAIDI)

Pinpoint fault, event and condition sensors are TPX Energy`s advanced scalable reactive RFID (radio frequency identification) fault sensors. They offer a quantum leap over traditional remote sensing technologies and mark new milestones in remote asset management

TPX Energy`s sensory devices are self managing, mechanically actuated limit switches with an internal deferred power storage for transmission of events or conditions. They are low cost and the worlds most energy efficiency sensory devices available; perfect for building and scaling up smart energy grids.

The proprietary and innovative technology offers 24/7 limit monitoring of remote assets for faults and conditions without the need of power for up to 10 years and without maintenance, and best of all they are self managing, they wont activate and transmit until there limit has been reached.

TPX Energy`s technologies can monitor and identify almost any energy distribution fault and relay that info in seconds reducing the time needed to restore power outages.

TPX Energy technology and platform goes well beyond energy asset management to offer a complete smart cities emergency and essential services platform including real time virtual 3d mapping, tracking and simulation of fires, floods, tsunamis, oil spills or air born toxins and pollution.

Platforms

TPX Energy has two platforms for building smart energy grids and smart cities.

Our outer urban and rural platforms sensors transmit to listening GSM/GPRS, CDMA, 3G and Satellite back haul platforms.

Our inner urban and metro strategy involves utilizing and leveraging smart electric meter infrastructure; TPX Energy is driving the industry with new software that allows smart meters to detect and manage sensory data.

Utilizing meter communications infrastructure is the key to developing smart grids and cities
