OUTSIDE THE BOX: TAKING GRID INTELLIGENCE TO NEW HEIGHTS
It is a humble-looking silver box that hangs out in remote areas on power lines, going pretty much unnoticed. But Laki Power’ s LKX MULTI is small tech with big impact.
Connected to SpaceX’ s Starlink satellite network, the line-powered monitoring system provides dynamic line rating and reports threats including wildfires and iced lines. It is placed in areas that are difficult for power providers to reach.
Laki Power also provides the LKX Drone to monitor grids. And, when it is running low on power, it physically connects with the MULTI to recharge. sustainabilitymag. com 23
