Service detail
A smart grid requires robust and secure communications networks to help energy providers manage and control grid operations. Enabling smart grid communications to help meet reliability targets and avoid costly fines associated with missed service levels can be challenging.IBM can help you implement intelligent utility network communications to gain visibility into your power grid and help reduce outages - with a focus on scalability and security.
Highlights
- Helps cost effectively improve communications network savings, reliability and security
- Provides automation and monitoring controls to help enhance reliability and avoid penalties from missed service levels
- Enables better management of electricity supply and demand
In a challenging business and regulatory environment, you know that a smart grid can help your utility better manage electricity supply and demand to help reduce costs and avoid penalties associated with missed consumer reliability service levels. But like many utilities, you may not have the communications networks in place with the reliability, scalability and security needed to support current and future smart grid projects and operations.
IBM Intelligent Utility Network Communications Services provides end-to-end strategy, assessment, design, integration, deployment and project management services. We help enable a smarter grid for energy and operational efficiency with a focus on network scalability and security. You can send and receive more information throughout your electricity grid, helping you reduce outages and faults - and improve responsiveness to current and future energy demands. With a communications network that supports proactive monitoring and control, we can also help you manage costs, maintain service levels and better manage regulatory requirements.
