SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwired - Dec 10, 2013) - Real-Time Innovations (RTI), the real-time infrastructure software company, and LocalGrid Technologies, an innovative Toronto-based software company, today announced a complimentary webinar titled, "Is Your Power Utility Smart Enough to Survive Another Decade?" During this webinar, attendees will learn how smarter distribution grids can extend the life of power utilities, while improving service levels to power subscribers.
Existing energy infrastructure deployed in power utilities across the nation are largely composed of assets with extremely limited communication capabilities based on SCADA protocols, such as DNP3. By the end of 2024, over $7 trillion of infrastructure upgrades will be required. Fortunately, these challenges can be addressed with smarter distribution grids that control and monitor assets down to the level of neighborhoods and individual homes.
Hosted by David Barnett, vice president of products and markets at RTI, and David Berg, vice president of business development at LocalGrid Technologies, this webinar will take a deep dive into the evolution, benefits and advancements of smart grids. Attendees will learn how smart grids incorporate military-grade securable protocols and hardened architectures, leverage hygiene services and bi-directional conversion to Data Distribution Service (DDS) software, and source intelligence in nodes with continued secure communications to existing operational management systems.
Additional details on the event can be found below.
