UTC Webinar: The Roadmap to an Interconnected Grid Infrastructure
Date(s):

Venue:N/A

Fee(s):This event has a fee
Description:As the energy industry continues to move from a centralized
to decentralized grid, utilities that pursue and capitalize on digital
transformation at the grid edge can expect to see both short and long-term
benefits: larger consumer pools, a more lucrative and sustainable business
model, and flexible IT infrastructures able to quickly react and meet changing
consumer demands. However, rebuilding infrastructures to facilitate grid edge
technologies is easier said than done- so how do utilities get there from where
they are today? Too often, networks are implemented and evolved to meet the
latest and most critical demands, rather than being designed from the ground up
and with the final solution in mind. A complete lifecycle approach is needed to
ensure that the network is optimized to meet the needs of current and future
applications. This requires a carefully organized effort incorporating
planning, assessment, architecture, design, implementation and optimization
activities.
This session will be a technical discussion on just how edge intelligence-ready today’s grid devices, equipment and telecom technologies
are, the impact on traditional utility roles and responsibilities, the
importance of telecommunications master planning, and how to get the most out
of current and upcoming pilot programs. Attendees will take away insight into
key first steps towards a connected grid.
