Energy Web: potential impacts on utility operations

This presentation takes a look at what the electric utility system of ten years from now is likely to be. This concept is similar in approach to the way that European utilities such as EWE, SWK and EA Technologies of the UK are implementing or advocating. The definition of the Energy Web is, the integration of the utility electrical system, telecommunications system, and the energy market to optimize loads on the electrical network, reduce costs to consumers and utilities, facilitate the integration of renewable resources, increase electrical system reliability and reduce environmental impacts of load growth.
