This “CES for utilities” is a massive showcase of high tech, supported by non-stop conference sessions on the direction of these technologies and their effects in the grid.
Gridata focused on software providers and the sessions relating to premises and homes. Visits included the energy management systems from GE, Intel, Honeywell, Emerson, and others. In addition, several discussions provided insight into conformance in SmartGrid, world-wide standards evolution, high-volume data storage systems, and various ways to develop comparison information that provide incentives to home owners to alter consumption behavior.
