US cleantech company GridPoint releases new smart grid platform
16th June 2009
US smart grid company GridPoint, Inc. has released GridPoint Platform 3.0, a standards-based open platform that provides utilities with an intelligent network to manage and control distributed energy resources.
The new system enables utilities to offer consumers online energy programs, delivers advanced demand response programs based on consumer preferences, grid status, real-time market prices and analytics, and expands the variety of home area network devices it controls.
The platform allows utilities to progressively integrate and customise smart grid solutions, including energy efficiency, load management, renewable integration, storage management and electric vehicle management. The platform delivers these solutions through the integration of distributed energy resources, including plug-in electric vehicles, solar panels, advanced storage technologies, and household devices such as thermostats, electric water heaters and pool pumps.
GridPoint implements intelligent software solutions for the electric power grid. Allowing utilities to incrementally adopt and customise solutions to better measure and control energy efficiency, load management, renewable integration, storage management and electric vehicle management, GridPoint’s solutions serve utilities, consumers and the environment.
