Smart Street technology

Smart Street technology

Smart Street is the first demonstration in Great Britain of a fully centralised low voltage network management and automation system.

During the technology build we installed 498 Weezaps and 126 Lynx devices (a new controllable switching device developed in collaboration with project partner Kelvatek). We also installed 49 end-point monitors, 84 low voltage capacitors, six high voltage capacitors and five on-load tap changing transformers.

All of this equipment was integrated into our network management system and was controlled by Siemens Spectrum 5 from our control centre.
