1. A head-mounted user device comprising:

  • a signal processor configured to;

    receive signaling containing information about one or more assets in a distributed power grid network from a data collection device configured to receive data from the assets in the distributed power grid network; and

    determine, based at least partly on the signaling received from the data collection device, signaling containing asset display information about the one or more assets;

    an augmented or mixed reality display configured to display an actual field of view of the user and the asset display information by overlaying the asset display information over the actual field of view; and

    means for mounting the device to the head of the user such that the display is in the user'"'"'s field of view;

    wherein the data collection device is a transformer mounted data collection device configured to receive signaling containing information about collected data, including some combination of electrical signaling data related to electrical signaling being processed by the transformer located and arranged in the distributed smart grid network and to which the data collection device is mounted, metered data related to associated electrical signaling being provided from the transformer to a building or structure in the distributed smart grid network, and other wireless network data related to other wireless network communication devices/nodes/end points deployed in the distributed smart grid network.
