Siemens’ smart grid Division and TIBCO Software will provide smart grid enterprise integration services to Consolidated Edison (Con Edison) for a smart grid demonstration project funded by the Department of Energy through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) stimulus program.

Siemens and TIBCO’s solution, which uses standards-based software and technologies, will enable Con Edison to improve smart grid reliability and provide consumers with more visibility, flexibility, and value; enhance control capabilities for existing smart grid assets; manage daily system peaks via demand response; and determine how to best apply developing technologies.

Thierry Godart, Siemens smart grid division President in the United States, says, “We are proud to share our extensive integration experience with Con Edison in an effort to provide them with a cost effective and proven integration solution. Our integration offering has been refined through years of experience to provide our customers with innovative and secure smart grid solutions.”

TIBCO’s enterprise messaging technology gives Con Edison a scalable, interoperable integration framework designed for real-time flow of information across deployed assets. In addition, Siemens will deliver its smart grid visualization capabilities to provide a browser-based user interface.

Con Edison’s Project Manager, Patricia Robison says the project “marks our dedication to providing safe, reliable and efficient energy to our customers by enhancing our systems’ capabilities. We look forward to Siemens and TIBCO…in helping us meet our smart grid project objectives.”

Murat Sonmez, TIBCO executive vice president of Global Field Operations, adds: “New York is home to one of the most critical finance infrastructures in the world and the most pervasive big building management systems. The ability to use real-time data to manage system assets, detect early warning signs and act immediately to resolve potential problems before they occur, is necessary to maintain predictable power and help keep businesses running. With TIBCO and Siemens, Con Edison is developing an architecture that will result in use cases that can act as a blue print for other urban areas.”

Implementation of the smart grid integration solution is estimated to be completed in May 2013.
