Smart Grid deployment doesn't echo demand

Smart grids in particular require high-quality serial to Ethernet solutions to get systems integrated and allow for automation. The right tools will help integrate internal networks with wireless and remote access needs, helping to move energy networks to more sustainable, efficient management systems. The implementation of high-quality media converters allows cities and government leaders on a broader scale to adopt smart grid technologies without having to completely replace older systems, ensuring minimal-loss integration.

Ultimately, these tools can keep costs low, helping to optimize budgets and accomplish more with limited resources, which will in turn help save money and improve spending over time on future smart grid and serial Ethernet projects. According to the news source, there are four priority areas for the EU that have to be focused on, and the two approved projects only meet part of the needed improvements in them.

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.
