SCTE® Standards: Energy 20/20 Program Update
In the face of increasing extreme weather events and demand for electricity, the aging electric grid is challenged in providing broadband operators and society at large with safe, low-cost, reliable power. We've seen this movie before: The grid is rapidly transitioning from 1-way to 2-way (with content creation at the edge), customers have to call to declare outages, and "how many electric vehicles can I hang off this transformer" is akin to “How many modems can I hang off this node." Just as the Cable industry revolutionized television, high-speed Internet, and landline phone—by bringing technology to industries that were quickly developing in a technological way—Broadband is poised to help manage burgeoning technical developments that are shaking the foundations of the electric grid.
In our second half of our Energy 20/20 update, join this exciting panel of Gridmetrics™ speakers who are using the broadband network to improve the reliability and resiliency of the grid and microgrids by implementing technologies that modernize grid monitoring/communications and minimize outages and energy costs—while ensuring a safe transition to clean renewable energy.
