Why It's Important
To realize maximum value from any line sensing investment, the system must be well managed. This requires knowledgeable technical resources and time.
In cases where a utility’s technical resources are limited, line sensing workload can be handled by our engineering services experts, allowing the utility to focus internal resources on strategic items and core competencies.
How It Works
Sentient Energy’s Support Services are offered in three tiers so utilities can match their objectives, technical expertise, and budgets with an optimal level of service.
Project-based services are also available including data integration services and analytics insights (formerly known as RAMP or Reliability Analytics Monitoring Program).
