Smart State Technology (SST), a Netherlands-based company specializing in smart grid solutions, has effectively integrated Grafana to enhance its data visualization capabilities, crucial for its mission to advance energy infrastructures. Founded in 2016 by Dennis Bijwaard and Omar Mansour, SST needed real-time web-based visualizations for their research and development efforts, prompting their adoption of Grafana due to its extensive functionality, ease of setup, and supportive community. The company employs Grafana across various platforms, including lab workstations and low-voltage substations, to manage and visualize a vast amount of data from thousands of sensors. They utilize several plugins such as FlowCharting, SVG, and JSON data source to create detailed dashboards that reveal real-time and historical data on power, voltage, and current metrics. SST's collaboration with Grafana has been productive, enabling them to create dynamic, professional dashboards that offer insights into energy consumption patterns and power quality issues. Looking to the future, SST aims to develop even more comprehensive visualizations and hopes Grafana will continue to evolve, allowing for more extensive customization and potential control functionalities. Additionally, SST plans to incorporate Grafana into their FairPlay project, focused on distributed renewable energy control, further cementing Grafana's role in their visualization and monitoring strategy.
