Awesense Wireless Inc. and Kitu Systems Inc. are announcing a partnership to help electric utilities successfully deploy Distributed Energy Resource Management Systems (DERMS).
Industrial & Commercial Energy Use For Facility Energy Optimization Energy usage in industrial and commercial sectors is becoming increasingly scrutinized. The US EIA stated in the International Energy Outlook Report that the industrial sector consumes about 54% of the world’s...
Tied to resiliency Solar, smart-inverters, EVs, micro-grids. Bigger, more extreme storms and forest fires. Some of these solutions – some problems in the modern grid. Utilities are now faced with the need to build resilience against an uncertain future. Utilities...
The recognized need to build a reliable grid stems from the NERC Reliability Standards. These outline the need to maintain electric grid reliability (meet demand) and grid security (ensure the capacity to resist unforeseen adversity). In recent years, the concepts...
The convergence of Operational Technology (OT) and IoT is well underway. The challenge of connecting the ancient grid to modern systems is well known and documented. Grid planners and operators are understanding the need to build a bridge between operations...
Data is a key resource for utilities. It’s compared to crude oil, it’s extracted, cleaned-up, and processed. Few utilities are taking action to make effective use of the data they have at their disposal. Data quality is often problematic with...
LEAN distribution management can help utilities with the rapidly changing landscape of the industry. Aging infrastructure combined with decentralized generation is leading to a cosmic shift in the way utilities operate their grid.
