The increased deployment of smart meters offers substantial benefits for power companies by providing detailed insights into consumer usage and behavior patterns. These meters enable precise analysis of peak demand periods, allowing for the effective implementation of demand response programs. This data granularity helps utilities to optimize grid management, enhance energy efficiency, and reduce operational costs. To further augment their efficiency, smart meters could incorporate additional features such as real-time usage alerts for consumers, advanced predictive analytics for better load forecasting, and integration with renewable energy sources to support distributed generation. Enhancing cybersecurity measures to protect consumer data and ensuring interoperability with other smart grid technologies are also crucial steps. These advancements not only improve grid reliability and customer satisfaction but also pave the way for a more sustainable and resilient energy infrastructure. #smartmetering #smartmeters #smartgrids #smartcities #smartenergy

With the entrants of diverse distributed energy resources (DERs) and new utility requirements, optimizing and monetizing solar energy systems have become increasingly complex. However, monitoring and control technology are struggling to keep pace and meet these more sophisticated demands. If the industry does not want to be hampered by its reliance on outdated monitoring and control technology, it needs to quickly leverage this window of opportunity to upgrade the capabilities of supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) by leveraging more advanced grid-edge, cloud computing, IoT-based technology that can support the integration of AI and help create a smarter grid. SCADA is a technology that dates back to the 1970s and the solar energy industry originally made it a standard by adopting it from fossil fuel power stations. Over the past decade and a half, when solar was in its infancy and a small share of the grid, SCADA’s limited protocols met the grid’s requirements. But as the industry has evolved, SCADA is being stretched beyond its original design and is struggling to keep pace. Its drawbacks are beginning to hold back our industry’s advancement. For instance, as solar is increasingly coupled with batteries, EV chargers, and other types of DERs, SCADA’s lack of interconnectivity and interoperability with diverse hardware has increasing impact on compatibility and scalability. By using a software-first approach and connecting directly to onsite hardware, including inverters, batteries, RGMs, and other DERs, or through the manufacturers’ servers, new cloud computing technology can leverage industrial IoT protocols and extend the capabilities of SCADA. By overcoming the limitations of SCADA, a number of crucial benefits are unlocked for grid operators, O&M providers, IPPs, and asset owners, while also ushering in the age of a smarter grid. #smartgrid #scada #iotprootocols #monitoringtechnology #pv #energytransition #controltechnology #distributedenergy
