This week's list of smart grid wins is all over the map - from the Philippines to Finland and back again. It's all over the smart grid technology map too - a pilot on advanced Privacy Enhancing Technologies for smart metering, a visualization system for a California smart grid demo and a big order for next-gen substation automation, to name a few. Scroll down and click to page 2 for highlights on all 11 of this week's featured wins.

 

PROJECT WINS

 

·         SAIC has won a 10-year contract with United Power for a 10,000 meter pilot project of advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) solutions and implementation of SAIC’s Smart Grid as a Service (SGS) offering. United Power is a rural electric cooperative serving nearly 70,000 homes and businesses in Colorado. “SAIC’s SGS provides a comprehensive, affordable and integrated one-stop resource for United Power, and enables our organization to better manage the risks associated with implementation of this advanced technology,” noted United Power CEO Ron Asche.

·         Elster and the European Network for Cyber Security (ENCS) will collaborate

with Dutch energy network provider Alliander to provide a proof-of-concept pilot project to demonstrate advanced Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PET) for smart metering networks. Elster will supply an end-to-end, market-ready solution for the PET pilot. Goal of the initiative is to validate the applicability of PETs for smart metering and smart grid and to determine to what extent the new technology is beneficial to Alliander and other grid companies and what needs to be adapted to maximize its benefit.

·         Space-Time Insight was tapped by Southern California Edison for its geospatial and visual analytics software, which will provide a centralized view of multiple technologies, assets and services deployed within the utility's state-of-the-art Irvine Smart Grid Demonstration (ISGD) project. “In line with our mission to provide reliable service to our customers, our aim with ISGD is to apply a variety of cutting-edge smart grid technologies that are modernizing how energy is generated, transmitted, distributed and consumed,” said Doug Kim, Director Advanced Technology with SCE. “With so many integrated technologies we need a visualization and analysis system capable of giving us insight into what’s working, what’s not and how we can continuously improve the interconnectivity and interoperability of all the systems involved in the project.” Read more >>

 

·         Cooper Power Systems was tapped by American Electric Power (AEP) to

deliver new SMP 16 Substation Gateways and SMP I/O Remote Terminal Units (RTUs) for AEP's next generation of substation automation projects. Cooper says that over the next 10 years AEP plans to install, each year, more than 200 SMP 16 gateways and up to 400 SMP I/O RTUs to update their substation communication infrastructure and replace older RTU equipment with current technology.

·         GE got the nod from MERALCO, the largest electrical distribution company in the Philippines, to serve as systems integrator for the utility’s new advanced metering infrastructure integrated solution (AMIIS) project. GE says the contract represents its first AMIIS order in the Asia-Pacific region. Its package will enable MERALCO to offer prepaid retail electric service and also provides a meter data management system. Read more >>
