Utilities have been searching for decades for ways to improve their power network efficiency and functionality, but have yet to deploy service territory-wide platforms to accomplish this in a cost-effective manner. AIPA™ Smart Grid Services fulfill these needs by equipping an electric utility’s core distribution network with real-time intelligence in order to save both operational and capital costs, improve network performance and enable new services.
AIPA™ BPL is easy to provision, operate and maintain. All power line components are installed using existing utility line crew tools and techniques. This means that minimal training is required for line crews to install the AIPA BPL solution. AIPA BPL takes advantage of existing power lines, greatly reducing the cost of building a broadband network. Using "smart build" roll-out methodology, the system can be deployed in stages. Additionally, AIPA BPL scales to millions of users and was designed from the ground up to scale across complete operating regions. |
