The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to SenSanna, Inc. to develop and demonstrate a functional, prototype, wireless, voltage and current measurement system for monitoring of the distribution grid.  This system would consist of three current sensors, three voltage sensors and a rack-mount form factor transceiver that queries the sensors, interprets the sensor signals, and plots voltage and current measurements for each sensor on a PC-based user interface.
