Innovative ICT for Better Connected Smart Grids

摘要

Innovative technology has presented the power industry with many new opportunities and is a key driver of industry development. For power companies, the use of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in communications is essential for constructing smart grids. A better connected smart grid facilitates effective monitoring and control of operations, enhances end-user interaction, and lays the foundation for potential business growth and new Internet of Things (IoT)-based service offerings. With enhanced interconnection performance, a full range of perception, enhanced security, and high reliability, better connected smart grids also allows power companies to effectively utilize and allocate every unit of electrical energy at anytime, anywhere.
