Pee Dee Electric Cooperative, S.C USA, is preparing for a Smart Grid future by implementing Aclara’s Meter Data Management System (MDMS) and ENERGYprism® customer-engagement software to meet growing consumer interest in household energy management.
Echelon, which makes smart meters and control systems for buildings, introduced a hardware and software system that can process the large amounts of data generated by edge grid hardware and automate certain tasks, such as reporting a problem to utilities or redirecting the flow of electricity.
In today‘s highly technological world, the generation and delivery of electricity is vital to all global economic sectors. Today‘s electricity generation and transmission infrastructures largely require fossil fuels and are relatively inefficient. As a result, electricity accounts for a significant share of the carbon emissions generated by energy consumption. Smart grids – in which computers and other technologies are used to intelligently integrate the generation, transmission, and consumption of electricity – have the potential to greatly improve the efficiency of this vital energy source.
GK series wireless remote smart gas meter is high-tech integrative product. This series meter uses advanced wireless transmission technology. Through microelectronic control circuits, it converts the pulse signals of traditional mechanical meter into electrical signals. Then the metering data is transmitted to background platform through GPRS network automatically, or it can be collected by a hand-held wireless unit from outside of the houses and after that downloaded to a computer through USB port. ... more
The U.S. Congress has abandoned yet another climate bill. Gridlock in this august body looms large come November, dampening hopes of effective energy legislation in the foreseeable future. America is stuck. Yet deregulation, a concept all but renounced by the country a decade back in the wake of California's energy crisis, holds the potential to unlock the gates to climatic heaven.
Intelligent, or smart, grids are the key to the integration of renewable energies and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. According to the European survey participants of trend:research´s current study “Smart Grids in Europe to 2030,” a majority of 70% is convinced that smart grids will become essential for the optimal integration of decentralized power plant and effective grid control.
