ABB Power Update: Special IEEE edition
|
|
 Renovating aging electric utility grid infrastructure with new technology
Fixing
up our infrastructure provides a great opportunity to use ‘new’ technologies
that have been developed over the last several decades. The alternative is to
stick with past practices and face continual degradation of the grid as
hurry-scurry patchwork is done for increasing emergencies. Our industry has new
challenges. But we also have new tools, new technologies, and we’re going to
need all of them. Replacing aging distribution components, many of which are
well over 25 years old, gives us an opportunity to fix a lot of things that
keep distribution engineers awake at night. >> Read more
If you are attending IEEE and want to learn more
about the new technologies available to help solve our industry’s new challenges,
visit ABB's Smart Bar (booth #6725) in Chicago where we will have Smart Squad
experts on tap every hour to answer your questions. >> Smart bar schedule

Wireless communication networks advance smart city initiatives
What
do you think of when you hear the term "smart city"? For many, the
term brings to mind the metamorphosis underway across the nation to digitize
and automate facets of our daily lives, improving the effectiveness and
efficiency of municipal services, shortening residents’ daily commutes,
reducing natural resource consumption and attendant pollution, attracting
businesses and creating connected communities. At its core, a smart city is a
collection of machine-to-machine (M2M) and human controlled applications. A
core enabling technology is reliable, high-performance communications
throughout the city. Two-way communications is required to link people and
devices in the field with software and personnel in operations and command
centers. >> Read more
