 Simplifying complex distribution automation? Absolutely.
Implementing a smarter grid can be complicated. Ensuring that all of the existing and new equipment will work together to achieve desired results can be a complex undertaking. This month, ABB is opening its Smart Grid Center of Excellence in Raleigh, North Carolina to simplify this process. This facility will be used to showcase products and software that ABB and its partners manufacture related to smart grid. It will also have a System Verification Center, which gives customers the affirmation that a product from company B will work with a product or system from company A, before anything is purchased or installed. Thanks to the verification center, customers no longer have to worry about products working together at the eleventh hour – they will have been tested together in the lab prior to making any decisions. Don't just take our word, schedule your visit today to see for yourself.

 Six stages of solar bankability
Solar radiation is a plentiful source of energy, but it is not without challenges. This paper focuses on five stages of solar development to see how the decisions made during the development process affect a project's bankability. The sixth stage, customer enablement, provides energy conscious consumers with the ability to choose solar electric power and other renewable sources of electricity over more traditional sources. Together, these six stages represent tremendous opportunity to make solar electric power affordable for utilities and consumers.>> More Info

Teleprotection Equipment |
| |
 Advanced power grid protection
Disturbances and faults in power systems can result in severe voltage collapses and power blackouts, affecting entire regions or even countries. Due to its heavy reliance on electric power, modern society cannot accept such power outages – neither for their impact on public life, nor for their economical consequences. It is therefore vital to avoid major disturbances by all possible means. Learn about the development of new interfaces for teleprotection, allowing secure, reliable and dependable operation of protection signaling equipment over Ethernet/IP WAN networks for the first time.
