Dell's new Smart Grid Data Management Solution taps electric distribution system performance data to isolate and predict outages, enabling fast response and potentially averting service interruptions. Dell says the bundled solution combines high-performance computing, networking and storage to manage data and provide actionable results in real-time. Based on customer requirements and the age of the data, the solution provides three tiers of storage that Dells says enables customers to optimize performance at a low cost. Details >>
Silver Spring Networks new Direct-to-Grid load control solution offers utilities fast demand response resources to help reduce peak load and maintain grid reliability. The technology provides two-way communication capabilities, allowing utilities to directly monitor and manage energy intensive assets such as air conditioners, electric heaters, water heaters, and pool pumps. The company says the solution is unique in the ability to provide Direct-to-Grid, fast-DR without any need for existing AMI infrastructure. Details >> SSN also announced a new Speed-to-Value initiative designed to enable utilities to rapidly scope, deploy, test, and measure specific solutions to extract even greater ROI from their smart grid investments.

S&C Electric's latest IntelliTeam VV Volt-Var Optimization System release works with a broader range of equipment, ultimately helping utilities realize more system-wide energy efficiency improvements. In addition, the enhanced platform now supports 240-volt systems, which are used in Europe and Australia. The company says the new software supports multiple levels of line regulation and allows utilities to control them independent of one another. This gives grid operators more precise voltage control for an even higher level of power quality, and makes it possible to achieve greater reductions in peak demand and energy usage. Details >>
. Eaton introduced its Power Xpert Solar 1500 kilowatt (kW) inverter for utility-scale, solar applications. The Power Xpert Solar inverter converts direct current (DC) power into clean alternating current (AC) and is designed to improve plant levelized cost of energy, maximize customers’ energy harvest, operate reliably in harsh environments and adhere to high safety standards.
