Intelligent Data & Design for Utilities: Smart tools for the Smart Grid
Before utilities can begin to tackle the operational challenges of a Smart Grid, they need a foundation of intelligent software solutions able to seamlessly create, integrate, implement and manage existing and new infrastructure. An infrastructure able to support the full lifecycle of Smart Grid operations begins with intelligent data and design. This Technical Digest presents an article outlining the benefits of cutting-edge software suites to create and manage infrastructure ready for Smart Grid implementation, along with case studies from three major utilities that have put these advanced tools to use.
