Connecting technologies for an intelligent utility future

Utilities worldwide are embracing a Smart Grid vision of transformational change. This vision includes full modernization and automation of electric power networks.

This vision also encompasses major elements from advanced metering, power electronics and information management to renewable and distributed energy resources, and home and electric vehicle energy management. The Smart Grid vision seeks to bring together and connect, in an interoperable way, diverse technologiesadvanced applications and use of distributed energy resources, communications, information management, automated controls. Doing so, the Smart Grid enables a self-healing, more reliable, less constrained, safer and more efficient grid. Intelligent meters, products and displays also empower customers to use electricity more efficiency. Based on our ongoing industry relationships, DNV KEMA views the utility industry as engaging in the early stages of a transformation that will span the next decade. Utilities today are in various stages of evaluating, specifying and deploying technologies associated with the Utility of the Future, modernizing operational and information systems, and deploying AMI and enhanced communications capabilities. At the heart of this utility future is the intelligent network and communications.
