Grid threats increase daily - from foreign foes, terrorists, criminals and hackers. Utilities are tasked with guarding against a rising tide of potentially disruptive intrusions into their power grid and electronic networks. What will it take to keep the power system secure - who will orchestrate the effort, what will it cost and who pays? more...

Utilities have a significant opportunity to transform the accuracy and reliability of power generation and distribution through the adoption of more intelligent and responsive energy management systems. However, many are hampered by inefficient and legacy systems that create data silos, unable to draw real insights from the new data available.

Interestingly, the benefit of smarter energy grids - an increase in detailed data - presents a significant obstacle for utilities, both in managing and capitalizing on its wealth. more...

Smart Grid technology implementation and integration depends in large part on the massive upgrade required to transform antiquated electrical grids into secure, reliable and intelligent systems.

What are the information technology investments you need to make today to ensure your DMS provides optimal efficiency, flexibility, and security tomorrow? The evolution of the intelligent grid means millions of intelligent endpoints and an exponential increase in data that must be communicated, managed, and acted upon in real time. For electric utilities, this means huge investments in new Information technology to update Distribution Management Systems (DMS). But technology, data communications, and security standards in our industry are still evolving - and to some degree are still unproven. How do we know that the DMS investments we make today won’t be obsolete in five years? How do we know that they will continue to interface with the other evolving systems. more...
