Ambient Smart Grid®

Connecting the Smart Grid
The Ambient Smart Grid® communicates - in real-time, at high-speed - the critical data from grid assets about power demand and line conditions to make the smart grid work. 

With Ambient’s open standards-based platform, utilities can pick and choose the smart grid applications and technologies best suited for their unique infrastructure plans, while protecting against possible obsolescence.

Ambient Smart Grid:

  • Provides the needed speed and data bandwidth for current and future needs, from demand response and real-time pricing to load management and outage response.
  • Communicates across multiple technologies including RF, Wi-Fi, cellular, Ethernet and/or low bit rate PLC.
  • Is based on open, IP standards for complete interoperability.
  • Provides “intelligence at the transformer” with energy sensing and load monitoring, outage notification and location information.
  • Is scalable for today and tomorrow’s initiatives.

 

Core elements of the Ambient Smart Grid solution include:

  • Ambient Smart Grid Nodes
  • AmbientNMS® (Network Management System)
  • Energy Sensing Products
  • Current Transformers (CTs)
