Webinar Summary
Utilities face seemingly endless imperatives today. Improve reliability. Reduce costs. Increase efficiency. Address environmental regulations. Integrate renewable energy sources and electric vehicles to the grid. A smart grid can help address all of these priorities. But many so-called “smart grid technologies” aren’t field-proven. Or they require extensive engineering by the end user – to the extent they aren’t practical to implement or maintain.
In this webinar, Smart Grid Applications and Connectivity Solutions: Today, Tomorrow, sponsored by S&C Electric Company attendees will get thorough analysis from Oncor, Austin Energy, and S&C thought leaders on the evolution, current state, and trajectory of grid applications, with an overview of the requirements they impose on communication systems that support them. Characterizations of various communication system solutions are addressed, along with their general performance capabilities and how this translates to support of grid applications. In addition, utility speakers will touch upon how energy efficiency and demand response are impacting the U.S. grid in big ways.
