Online transient stability control systems can increase stability in utility transmission networks while maximizing the efficiency of both the transmission grids and the generation sources supplying them.

For the last few decades the growth of the world's population and its corresponding increased demand for electrical energy has created a huge increase in the supply of electrical power. However, for logistical, environmental, political and social reasons, this power generation is rarely near its consumers, necessitating the growth of very large and complex transmission networks. The addition of variable wind energy in remote locations is only exacerbating the situation.

A service management platform for the smart grid helps utilities better manage their networks and systems while improving customer delivery.

Today's utility companies are being driven to upgrade their aging transmission and distribution networks in the face of escalating energy generation costs, serious environmental challenges and rising demand for cleaner, distributed generation from both developing and digital economies worldwide.

Around the world, utilities are under pressure. Citizens demand energy and water that don't undermine environmental quality. Regulators seek action on smart grids and smart metering initiatives that add intelligence to infrastructure. Customers seek choice and convenience - but without additional costs.

Around the globe, utilities are re-examining every aspect of their business.

Strategies for addressing aging assets, workforce and IT systems in the utilities industry.

A "perfect storm" of daunting proportions is bearing down on utility companies: assets are aging; the workforce is aging; and legacy information technology (IT) systems are becoming an impediment to efficiency improvements. This article suggests a three-pronged strategy to meet the challenges posed by this triple threat. By implementing best practices in the areas of business process management (BPM), system consolidation and IT service management (ITSM), utilities can operate more efficiently and profitably while addressing their aging infrastructure and staff.

An untapped source of power for today’s utilities.

Electric utility companies today constantly struggle to find a balance between generating sufficient power to satisfy their customers' dynamic load requirements and minimizing their capital and operating costs. They spend a great deal of time and effort attempting to optimize every element of their generation, transmission and distribution systems to achieve both their physical and economic goals.
