The world today is ever-changing and the mindsets of people are also developing. Modern society is moving towards digital transformation, especially in the electric utility sector. Technological innovations have brought about a paradigm shift, with us now residing in a world where energy is more stable, accessible, and cost-effective. The fourth industrial revolution has allowed utility companies to offer elevated speeds and enhanced efficiency in their work, leading to excellent customer satisfaction. Advanced analytics systems, coupled with the access to real-time analytical data, have facilitated the digital aspect of the electric utility sector. Digitalisation is playing a major role at both the operational and consumer level, which has led to companies endeavouring to invent smart electrical products.

The traditional system of electrical switchboards is now outdated with the evolution of smart switchboards in the market. Their principal function is to monitor and regulate the movement of power to secure the protection of your devices from any overloads. A smart switchboard is pre-configured and enables two-way communications between the user and the device. These remote monitoring innovations assure that the intercommunication occurs in real-time and the HMI technology that’s fused within this technology makes the communication method even easier. The quicker service and improved quality of the smartboards make it the perfect product for consumers. This expedites a rapid production process that – along with reduced prices – attract large manufacturers.

Technological advancements have provoked the arrival of smart switches in addition to smart electric outlets. This smart technology has displaced the traditional electrical switches and electrical sockets, which have now become obsolete. These internet-abled electric outlets allow for a better home energy management system. Since we can regulate the modern electrical switches and electrical sockets using the internet, this equipment grants improved energy savings and economical power consumption.

Smart plugs and outlets allow you to command any device, as you can now set timers and turn them on and off through your phone. Additionally, smart light switches possess sensors that can identify movement and throw light in that particular direction. Another feature that promotes smart technology is the heightened security it offers, as they can promptly notify the users in case of any flaw. With everyone following the energy conservation trend, smart switches have fully replaced these orthodox models.

Electric relays are changing devices that are employed to isolate electronic circuits from one state to another. They have numerous applications – the most notable of them being telephone lines. They are astonishingly important because of the stability they provide to your electrical devices and appliances. Utility companies have also started producing a smart alternative for electric relays, known as smart power relays. This increased reliability and high security of smart relays have made standard electric relays redundant.

Digitalisation has undoubtedly moulded the electric systems that we currently implement. Devices and appliances ranging from electrical sockets to electrical switchboards have an efficient and quicker alternative available. Technological innovations and a societal trend towards energy conservation have built the path for a digitalised future and negate major smart city challenge
