Smart Grid
Smart Grid is the application of monitoring, communications, intelligence and action into integrated solutions that automate the electrical grid (from transmission to consumer) to improve reliability, productivity (cost) and efficiency.
All these systems and experiences are now combined into a comprehensive vision for a unified system architecture that covers many critical Smart Grid requirements.
Utilities using Cooper Power Systems solutions are able to migrate from small beginnings to ambitious objectives in a pragmatic, reliable, cost-effective, step-by-step manner to achieve a smarter grid. Cooper solutions integrate a large variety of IEDs, from various vendors, with most industry protocols and data formats. Full interoperability at all levels has been Cooper’s focus for more than a decade.
Smart Grid is significantly increasing the volume, dispersion, and complexity of interconnectivity.
