With the rapid development of science and knowledge and the increasing readily available energy resource options, the traditional power grid evolves into a Smart Grid era. Smart Grid applies Electric technology, Telecommunication, Internet and Information technology to achieve improved and reliable energy supply, efficient electricity management, real-time monitoring and improved risk mitigation.
Smart Grid integrates traditional and new energies, (such as wind, solar or nuclear generated energies). This brings a number of business opportunities for IT industry.
With the advanced IT technology and numerous experiences in IT and Energy industries, MaesInfo develops a series of Smart Grid solutions catering for various fields, especially for site/transmission monitoring and service management. For example, concerning the metering system, MaesInfo leverages end user data gathering device to collect usage data via wireless network, or signal carrier through electric line, and send to utility data center for further data computing. Also, MaesInfo pays attention to the security of electric transmission line and construction site. MaesInfo offers a system that is able to perform online monitoring over high-voltage transmission line and ongoing electric construction site. More details will be presented in our Smart Grid Case Study Website.
MaesInfo pursues the most innovative, and strategic design for Smart Grid. MaesInfo defines a basic and open framework together with standard interfaces. Then system level components such as security, network management, and data management are built into the architecture, while other components can be plugged in just in time.
MaesInfo avoid developing Smart Grid systems into isolation with various interfaces for various integrations. MaesInfo also leverages standardized “adaptors” or “gateways” for legacy systems for seamless integration.
