Smart Grid 

Overview

On February 17th, 2009 President Obama signed The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.  In that package $4.5 billion was allotted to the Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability (OE) to modernize and secure the nation’s electricity grid.  The largest portion of that amount, $3.375 billion, was allocated to the Smart Grid Investment Grant Program.

“DOE’s Smart Grid Investment Grant Program will provide grants ranging from $500,000 to $20 million for smart grid technology deployments.  It will also provide grants of $100,000 to $5 million for the deployment of grid monitoring devices. This program provides matching grants of up to 50 percent for investments planned by electric utilities and other entities to deploy smart grid technologies.”¹

Features

• Our products allow two way communications so Independent System Operators (ISOs), Regional Transmission Organizations (RTOs), and end-users can monitor AND control the grid

• We let you customize your network by adding sensors including Phasor Measurement Units (PMU) to sample voltage and current multiple times a second to give your operators real time load monitoring

• Our networks use AES-256 bit encryption to secure transmission and protect your customers privacy

• Our mesh technology is self healing so if one sensor drops out, the system automatically reroutes the instruction and there is no break in service

• Our products include rechargeable backup batteries so alarms and information can be sent in the event of a power loss giving your operator the ability to rapidly diagnose and solve problems

• Achieve Demand Response by incorporating our products into an online Graphical User Interface or connect them to home automation products.
