Smart Grid Applications

SmartSynch's wireless SmartBox solutions provide an intelligent infrastructure upon which Smart Grid applications may be extended to consumers. Once these solutions are installed, utilities can more effectively control both centralized and distributed energy sources and offer incentive rate plans as part of demand response and green energy initiatives.

SmartSynch GridRouter™

SmartSynch GridRouterThe SmartSynch GridRouter is a smart grid solution that serves as an IP-addressable, external interface offering WAN, LAN and HAN connectivity to a variety of smart grid devices. The GridRouter acts as a wireless pipe capable of transmitting and receiving data over public wireless networks using Internet-based or other open standards. Through the GridRouter and its use of public wireless networks, utilities can quickly and affordably spot-deploy smart grid applications, including load profile and control, power quality monitoring, distribution automation, and standby generator control. The GridRouter also enables utilities to support homeowner-focused smart metering programs such as demand response, demand-side management and real-time pricing.

The GridRouter uses Field Replaceable Units to enable several different networking solutions that may be replaced as technologies evolve. These include Wide Area Network (WAN) cards, which allow for a link to the Internet and the utility’s back office; Local Area Network (LAN) cards, which enable utilities to aggregate or mesh multiple meters on WAN connections; and Home Area Network (HAN) cards, which give utilities access to home appliances for remote power management. Other cards can be made available to utilities to support other monitoring and control applications as needed.
