S&C Electric Company has collaborated with Alstom Grid to develop an integrated solution combining S&C’s distributed intelligence technology with Alstom’s enterprise-level applications that provide regional area control.

The integrated solution combines real-time response to system conditions and enables control room operators to access complete field data from S&C’s IntelliTeam SG through Alstom’s Integrated Distribution Management System (IDMS). This approach also offers a single user interface to support the amount of data that will need to be analyzed as smart grid deployments continue to expand.

Karim El Naggar, Alstom Grid Vice President of Network Management Solutions. “Smart grid technologies can capture a wealth of data from the grid, but utilities face a challenge in making access to this data practical. By streamlining data access and providing real-time control actions, this integrated solution gives control room operators enhanced situational awareness and empowers them to take the appropriate actions to improve grid reliability and efficiency.”

S&C Vice President of Strategic Solutions, Mike Edmonds, adds: “Layered intelligence solutions offer the optimal approach for smart grids by combining rapid, real-time response to system conditions with enterprise-level applications that support system planning, operation, and optimization. The integrated system from S&C and Alstom Grid marks another step toward realizing a smarter distribution grid through layered intelligence.”

Alstom provides turnkey integrated power plant solutions and associated services for a wide variety of energy sources, including hydro, nuclear, gas, coal and wind, as well as offering a wide range of solutions for power transmission, with a focus on smart grids.

Based in Chicago, S&C develops new solutions for electricity delivery that will foster improved efficiency and reliability that is required for the intelligent grid. For more information, visit www.sandc.com .
