Technology solutions at the level of infrastructure is less reported, but that does not mean we do not feel their impact. Let us imagine how important the role of infrastructure, ranging from energy to telecommunications, in our lives. The earthquake and tsunami that knocked out the energy infrastructure of Japan recently is proof of that.
Speaking of electric energy distribution to homes, in developed countries like in Europe, has begun to implement a technology called SmartGrid. In short, the definition SmartGrid is the electrical network using digital technology, including Internet Protocol (IP). SmartGrid arguably is the electrical grid system that is smarter and more modern.
SmartGrid provide network performance monitoring capabilities, which have a major impact on the quality of services provided. Another advantage for energy service providers located on the security and stability of service quality and ease of operation and utilization of energy is wasted.
Rudolph Mazza, APAC Marketing Director for Alcatel-Lucent Strategic Industries, to provide examples of SmartGrid technologies used to reduce electricity theft in Karachi. With the information obtained through this smart networking, will be known when and where the area missed most electricity, so that electric service providers can implement various strategies to reduce such theft.
Another example: SmartGrid used to know when the highest electric load and the home of what became the biggest burden. With detailed data obtained from SmartGrid, electricity providers will be able to anticipate and cope with various scenarios of energy crisis is going to happen.
