Smart Energy
A largely electrified and automated world requires a continuous, reliable and sustainable supply of electricity. This is achieved through a grid that is able to gather information and communicate. Ideally it is built on standardized hardware, software and processes that ensure a seamless integration and interoperability.
SMART GRIDS
Grids have to add real-time data collection, communication, monitoring and control capabilities to troubleshoot outages; manage increasingly decentralized electricity production; add renewables and energy storage, while respecting tougher emission targets.
Our Smart grid technologies allow the grid to become more flexible, interactive and enable it to provide real-time feedback. It incorporates technologies and services that facilitate intelligent monitoring, control, communication and self-healing technologies.
TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION
Transmitting and distributing electric power more efficiently and supplying it from renewable sources are ways of ensuring electricity requirements will continue to be met. Our distributed power systems for transmission and distribution of electricity are efficient and designed to reduce carbon emissions, emerging to complement the uni-directional transmission network, from central power plants to individual households.
The distributed energy resources include residential and commercial rooftop solar installations, wind turbines and storage systems that serve a single household or an industrial facility aggregated to serve the main electricity grid.
Key technologies behind our smart grids are sensors that measure the relevant parameters such as temperatures, voltage and current; communications that allow a two way dialogue with a device; control systems that enable a device to be reconfigured remotely; and user-interface and decision support systems that provide an overview of asset status and perform advanced analytics on data to provide information.
