Download This Podcast

Sponsored by ABB

There’s an urgent need to modernize our T&D system in the United States, and the ‘Smart Grid’ has emerged as the solution. Mainstream media usually focuses on the home consumer, smart metering and AMI. These are important components of the Smart Grid, but really just the tip of the iceberg. This podcast introduces a comprehensive definition of the Smart Grid, encompassing a much wider range of technologies that extend to all facets of grid operations, from generation, across the T&D grid, to end use.

Sponsored by Ice Energy

In this new energy world, we are facing state green energy targets that mandate utilities deliver 20% renewables by 2020.
