DESCRIPTION:merging social trends such as the widespread deployment of sma
 ll-scale solar installations\, the adoption of electric vehicles and chang
 ing patterns of power generation are putting immense pressure on the UKs e
 lectrical grid infrastructure.  In order to invest efficiently and minimis
 e consumer bills\, the Distribution Network Operators (DNOs) are in a race
  to upgrade\, maintain and replace infrastructure as our demand for energy
  grows.  Under an Innovate UK grant\, 42 Technology opened discussions wit
 h 5 DNOs to discover why smart metering of the grid is not being widely ad
 opted.  This revealed that the major factors came down to the cost of mete
 rs and long disruptions in service during installation.  To overcome these
  problems 42 Technology designed and tested a novel retrofittable low cost
  secondary substation monitor called ‘FuseOhm’.  FuseOhm is a fraction
  of the cost and takes a fraction of the time to install compared to exist
 ing solutions.  This presentation will look at how 42 Technology built the
 ir FuseOhm substation monitor and walks through the steps they are taking 
 to make the smart grid a reality.\n\nRichard Prudence is an Electronics En
 gineer and one of the technical leads on the FuseOhm Project.  42 Technolo
 gy is a Cambridge based technical consultancy focused on solving complex e
 ngineering problems and developing next generation products (https://www.4
