How are legacy grids typically monitored?

Legacy grids are typically monitored manually. This approach involves operators physically inspecting equipment and components, which can include checking readings on devices and performing visual inspections. Manual monitoring was more prevalent in older grid systems due to the lack of advanced technology and automation.

While newer grids may utilize automated software solutions, remote sensors, or satellite communication to streamline and enhance monitoring, legacy grids often relied on a more traditional, hands-on method. This reliance on manual processes can lead to slower response times and may not capture issues as efficiently as modern monitoring systems.
