REGEN Energy
In our view, it will be very difficult to implement Smart Grid in the traditional centralized command and control paradigm. There is not the computer processing power, nor the network bandwidth to support this type of control. It is necessary to have subsystems autonomously operate and only report on an exception basis, or be communicated with if a change in operational strategy is required. Swarm logic is the perfect strategy to implement this type of control...a group of intelligent peers communicating with each other to determine how best to optimize the control of whatever they are attached to.

REGEN Energy
Regen Energy's distributed intelligence technology looks like a home run. Property owners see their energy expenses a noticeably reduced. Electrical utilities get confirmed participation in Demand Response programs to relieve grid stress.

SmartSynch
SmartSynch is fostering an ecosystem of collaboration and innovation with its GridRouter device--making it a top company to watch in 2010. Interoperability among smart grid solutions and “future-proofing” the grid has always been an issue – until now.
SmartSynch's GridRouter (www.gridrouter.com) is the first communications platform that allows any utility device to communicate over any network (public or private) using any software application that supports IP connectivity. The GridRouter is also remotely upgradable so as technology and the smart grid evolve, this product will, too.

Consert wins
Consert allows users to decide exactly what their needs are and change these settings dynamically.
Monica Smith - 01/14/2010 - 10:18
Consert
We think that Consert is the most advanced smart grid company around. They clearly have the consumer and utility in mind with their solution.

Jetlun offers the first HomePlug+Zigbee Home Area Network solution.

Viridity or bust...
My money is on Viridity for a variety of reasons. Predominantly, the incentives they provide to customers in the form of monetizing their savings. There is reward built into the system, which is vital in this day and age to increase conscientiousness about energy use. Furthermore, their experience in grid technology bodes well for future success in the demand response/smart-grid world.

SmartSynch /very impressive

After a global search for an hourly re-optimization software for our microgrid's generation, storage and demand load based upon dynamic market price signals, Viridity was selected as the superior supplier that would meet our demanding specifications.

Ambient
Look at their partners Itron,Verizon, and contracts with Duke to build out Ohio with Indiana in the wings.
We're getting mixed signals about the vitality of the smart grid market. On the one hand, the recent DistribuTECH conference was one of the most successful ever. On the other, a well-known Wall Street analyst recently told his clients that the smart metering sector is "facing several headwinds," including weak regulatory support in the U.S. and delays in European adoption. Taking the pulse of the smart grid industry is this week's Tuesday Topic.
