Significant infrastructure improvements completed in New England

In order to truly optimize energy transmission, smarter deployment and optimized networks for the sending and receiving of power to consumers who are beginning to explore alternative generation sources, utilities also have to ensure they are focusing on the proper terminal servers to minimize latency from the substation to the home and facilitate the flow of information as well as energy. More homes are embracing power saving technologies and methods that reduce consumption and even feed power back into the grid, and providers have to be able to account for these new sources of information in order to provide the proper support, and billing, to these customers.

Ultimately, not all consumers are embracing the full potential of expanding power grids, but utility providers have to stay ahead of the game and meet their customers head on with the infrastructure necessary to support all their needs, regardless of if they are innovating with green technology or traditional power users - much like Northeast Utilities has begun to do.

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.
