A power system made up of numerous automated T&D systems, all operating in a
coordinated, efficient and reliable manner.
A power system that handles emergency conditions with ‘self-healing’ actions and is
responsive to energy-market and utility needs.
A power system that serves millions of customers and has an intelligent communications
infrastructure enabling the timely, secure and adaptable information flow needed to provide
power to the evolving digital economy

First of all, as with the previous discussions, I want to position some of the areas where a utility stands to benefit from a standard geospatial platform. In my work over the past few years developing these types of products, it’s been truly amazing to see, even in this area of “high tech”, the disparate silos of data within utilities and the inability to publish information to those organizations who need it most. Deploying this platform results in several key business benefits – and I’ve tried to capture some of them here. One important area is operational efficiency, both in grid operations as well as design and maintenance. Moreover, the ability to manage an up-to-date, accurate asset repository that can be easily integrated across the enterprise offers several downstream benefits in the areas of customer satisfaction and even further, environmental impact.
How do we envision the future of the intelligent grid. It has to “self healing” ….ability to respond to problems and correct the system automatically “Interactive”…exchange real time pricing, bidding information, demand response so it acts as a real time “power exchange” (Similar to Stock exchange) “optimized”…ability to run resource optimization problems online facilitating proper allocation of resources. [ Use this example if required. For example reactive power sources should be close to where the loads are] “Predictive”…moving away from being reactionary to predictive grid where maintenance can be pre scheduled well in advance “Distributed”…assets allocation where required and load centers are. Allocation of information at different hierarchical levels to take control actions as necessary “Integrated” …availability of critical information for actionable items “Secure”…ability to respond and heal to threats due to natural causes or man made causes (terrorism…) [These definitions are condensed and simplified from EPRI’s original vision on intelligent grid]
That’s why GE has and will continue to play big in carbon management. As you can see from this chart, GE has a broad and growing portfolio of solutions to help manage carbon emissions…from efficiency, to low carbon power, to low carbon fuels. CLICK
