Communications Support for the Smart Grid Is Vital
Sometimes modern technology seems to be galloping far out in front of other aspects of control and delivery. When it comes to the generation and delivery of electricity, the Smart Grid becomes a critical component. Protection and support of this system is vitally important. Bolstering the grid system is an infrastructure of two-way communications that is integral to the success of the entire operation. Components, products, and technologies are being installed that can protect and direct the system to even monitor its own health and report problems to supervisors. With precision time sync and integrated cyber security, this infrastructure not only supports the grid but enables it to function efficiently, reliably and safely in both electricity delivery and usage
