Schneider Electric Donates Equipment
Schneider Electric's North America Operating Division (Palatine, Illinois, U.S.) has partnered with the Advanced Research Institute at Virginia Tech University in support of its Intelligent Distributed Autonomous Power Systems (IDAPS) research project. Included in this research is the Square D Powerlink G3 3000 web-enabled lighting control panel, donated by Schneider Electric.
The project focuses on integrating distributed energy resources with demand-side management in an intelligent microgrid. Virginia Tech professors and students are exploring enabling technologies that allow customer-owned appliances, such as lighting, to communicate within an IDAPS microgrid through Ethernet, LAN and WAN networks.
