Intelligent Utility Network
Power network manager, Country Energy, collaborates with IBM on the creation of an Intelligent Network in Australia and joins the Intelligent Utility Network Coalition. The intelligence is expected to deliver energy savings through smart metering, a more efficient power network, use of remote diagnostics, network self-healing, and renewable energy storage and sharing. ...
... "An Intelligent Utility Network is a digital, open standards-based network of sensors, metering, communications, computer processors, and analytics which connects an entire utility company - from power plant to plug. These connected systems provide a utility with near real-time data and information to better manage the grid infrastructure, enabling fewer and shorter power outages, improved customer service, and the ability to source and deliver power more efficiently, including renewable energy. Country Energy is pursuing the Intelligent Network concept to improve reliability, support the growth of renewables like solar and wind, and make energy efficiency simpler for customers.
