Future Opportunities for the Energy Ecosystem

摘要

The face of generation is changing. Although no one can predict what will happen 10 years or 15 years into the future, today's technology, carbon and environmental sustainability assumptions help people visualize a very different energy supply ecosystem. In this new era, solutions to maintain the grid will range from the smallest sensor for measuring and exposing energy use and carbon footprints to high-performance streaming complex event processing. To control the growing number of devices, grid solutions will need the capability to handle Internet-scale data acquisition. Software with new levels of computing capability and techniques will be an integral part of the future's smart energy ecosystem.
