Standards OSGP includes important grid optimization requirements

Smart meters as a grid sensor Addresses not only billing, but power quality and all aspects of smart meters and other

grid sensing devices

Turning transformers in to “smart transformers” Allow data to be requested (and/or digested) by a head-end or a data concentrator

based application

Support other devices on the grid together with meters

Open

Reliable: >99,8%,

Easy to do remote firware upgrade

In Conclusion

You can get to grid optimization today:1. Smart meters can be used as grid sensors

2. Transformers become “smart” with simple monitoring

Standards are essentialOSGP includes key grid optimization requirements – today!

OSGP is backed by industry leaders – many are at the show!
