Smart Grid/Smart Grid Networks

It is the nation’s goal to transform its electric power delivery system (the energy grid) into a more intelligent, resilient, reliable, self-balancing, and interactive network that enables enhanced economic growth, environmental stewardship, operational efficiencies, energy security, and consumer choice.

Smart Grid is defined as a broad range of solutions that optimize the energy value chain.  Smart Grid will define a new era in the energy utility industry. The Smart Grid view creates an entirely new set of possibilities, offering the ultimate advancements in energy delivery and control, while further complicating an already complex regulatory picture.

Once implemented, it will create fundamental and far-reaching changes to the electric grid and our relationship with the energy we generate and consume. What was once an industry directed by regulation to deliver reliable, cheap and ubiquitous energy, is quickly becoming an industry that is expected, if not yet directed, to deliver all the above in a more efficient manner using clean (low carbon) fuels.

IPKeys specializes in the secure, dynamic optimization of grid communications infrastructure. We offer consulting, design, security and project management services. With multiple deployments underway, IPKeys provides extensive knowledge and increased use of digital information and controls technology to improve reliability, security, and efficiency of the electric grid.

IPKeys understands there is a growing consensus within the United States that clean energy is a platform for rebuilding the American economy, and it follows that the realization of a Smart Grid is also critical to economic growth.
