The standard electric power grid is widely distributed, with multiple substations, transformers, lines and meters. As the grid is currently architected, identifying and troubleshooting problems in this grid can be an arduous task for utility companies – resulting in power lapses, revenue loss and energy inefficiency. Intelligent grid (“smart grid”) management promises to revolutionize the way utility companies oversee their grids by enabling them to monitor use in real time, and shorten or eliminate power outages. 3One Networks, a technology and services company that has commercialized Broadband over Powerline (BPL) technologies, has developed innovative BPL power grid management solutions. Based in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, the company combines advanced hardware and software to enable the remote, real-time monitoring and control of electrical power grids.
