| | The world has gone digital and that includes the electricity industry. It’s hard to remember the time when relays were simple electromechanical devices without firmware, communications interfaces or multi-functionality. The industry had to bridge the gap between aging analog devices and digital technologies. Today, there is not a single component in a substation that has not been enhanced, enriched or augmented by some form of embedded digital technology, making them operate better at higher ratings with more reliability than ever before. However, the challenge now is integrating all of these elements into a totally digital substation and making it work in a demanding environment.

| At the grid’s edge | Transitioning into an interconnected digital grid | Future energy demands require the grid’s edge to be interactive and automated. It has to be more efficient, reliable and capable of carrying high-quality power, with better operational performance. That’s a big order, but new digital technologies are key. The transition from the grid of today to the grid of tomorrow will be as profound as all the advances in power systems over the last 100 years, but in a fraction of the time. In the end, fully realized distributed intelligence from the grid’s edge will benefit all stakeholders. | >> Read more | |

| What makes a grid smart? | Spoiler alert: people | Most of us think of smart grids as T&D modernization efforts to incorporate digital technology that facilitates the collection, processing and exchange of information allowing interoperability and communication between connected devices. However, it is not just a device or piece of electronic equipment that makes the grid smart. It’s the combination of the piece of equipment or hardware and properly developed, coordinated and installed information and operation technology software. | >> Read more | |
