Smart grid technology and software companies are encouraged to submit information about their products for inclusion in a Smart Grid Resource Guide being developed by researchers with the Smart Grid Research Consortium at Texas A&M University.The consortium, which includes 12 municipal utilities from across the United States, is focused on developing business models that incorporate smart grid technology. The new guide, according to consortium leader Dr. Jerry Jackson, will feature reviews of the latest smart grid technology and software.
Electric smart grids provide integrated communication, automation and control of entire electrical systems, from generating plants to the operation of electric equipment inside homes, commercial buildings and industrial plants.
Texas A&M's Smart Grid Research Consortium study is the first to provide utility-specific cost/benefit models that can be applied to evaluate the business case for individual smart grid technologies and utility smart grid strategies.
