Ambient Smart Grid®
Connecting the Smart Grid
The Ambient Smart Grid® communicates - in real-time, at high-speed - the critical data from grid assets about power demand and line conditions to make the smart grid work.
With Ambient’s open standards-based platform, utilities can pick and choose the smart grid applications and technologies best suited for their unique infrastructure plans, while protecting against possible obsolescence.
Ambient Smart Grid:
- Provides the needed speed and data bandwidth for current and future needs, from demand response and real-time pricing to load management and outage response.
- Communicates across multiple technologies including RF, Wi-Fi, cellular, Ethernet and/or low bit rate PLC.
- Is based on open, IP standards for complete interoperability.
- Provides “intelligence at the transformer” with energy sensing and load monitoring, outage notification and location information.
- Is scalable for today and tomorrow’s initiatives.
Core elements of the Ambient Smart Grid solution include:
- Ambient Smart Grid Nodes
- AmbientNMS® (Network Management System)
- Energy Sensing Products
- Current Transformers (CTs)
