The implementation of LoRaWAN® connectivity
devices reduce costs and deployment time
Semtech Corporation (Nasdaq: SMTC), a leading global supplier of
high performance analog and mixed-signal semiconductors and
advanced algorithms, announced its collaboration with Elvexys,
designer of innovative and robust solutions for data management,
engineering of energy transport and distribution networks in
Europe, and Oiken, a Swiss distributor of electricity serving
90,000 end customers, for an Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled
sensor. Elvexys leverages Semtech’s LoRa® devices and LoRaWAN®
connectivity to provide real-time data to Oiken’s supervision
control room when a power grid failure is detected. According to
Oiken, utilizing the LoRaWAN standard for smart grid monitoring was
simple to integrate into their existing SCADA system and easy to
deploy in the field, reducing deployment times and costs for a
complete solution.

“Before implementing IoT sensors, when a power failure was
detected, there was no instant communication of the short circuit,
which was costly to locate and fix,” said Alain Perruchoud,
converged network director at Oiken. “Now as new sensors
implementing LoRaWAN are available for the power substation and can
watch enabling instant relay of such critical data, we can monitor
better the power grids in real time and dispatch an operator
exactly where short circuit failures occurred.”
The sensor solution from Elvexys for Oiken was validated by
Oiken in power substations. The short circuit sensor comes in two
parts: the communication module installed on a DIN rail in a
cabinet and the Rogowski coil which measures current on cable
directly and detects the peak current caused typically by the short
circuits. Oiken and Elvexys claim that without implementing LoRaWAN
into the solution, the solution would cost about 10 times more and
require 20 years to deploy.
“Elvexys and Oiken’s deployment of LoRaWAN is showcasing the
value of IoT and low power, wide area networks (LPWAN) to improve
utilities infrastructure to become smarter and more effective,”
said Marc Pégulu, vice president of IoT product marketing and
strategy for Semtech’s Wireless and Sensing Products Group. “As
power failures are detected and fixed instantly, the technology is
providing benefits not only to the utilities companies, but also
the citizens who depend on the reliable infrastructure.”
