NY completes smart grid effort

This effort is just one of many to improve the nation's energy grid and optimize the delivery of cleaner, renewable power to consumers anywhere in the country. For many, this means lower cost electricity, as well as more reliable service. As the number of smart grid projects increases, more consumers will benefit. For utilities, this means investing in the right hardware and systems, such as terminal servers, to optimize delivery and control over their network and sub stations. The right investments will save firms time and money going forward by ensuring compatibility and efficiency over time.

NYISO's efforts will result in improved control over transmission voltages, as well as an in depth look into its service area's power grid needs - optimizing operations in the face of increased demand, weather changes and other challenges.

Perle offers a range of cost effective serial-to-Ethernet converters to help meet NERC-CIP compliance for the protection of critical cyberassets in substations. The IOLAN SDS HV/LDC Terminal Server is designed to meet harsh environments associated with Power Substations with attributes such as support for substation AC and DC voltage ranges, extended operating temperatures and meeting emission, immunity and safety approvals associated with substation IT equipment.
