A fully integrated Smart Grid solution will be provided by Siemens and TIBCO for Con Edison using standards-based software and technologies.
The solution allows Con Edison to improve smart grid reliability and provide customers with greater visibility, flexibility and value; enhance control capabilities for existing smart grid assets and manage daily system peaks via demand response.
With TIBCO’s enterprise messaging technology, Con Edison gains a scalable, interoperable integration framework that enables the real-time flow of information across deployed assets for enhanced decision making capabilities to maintain a healthy power infrastructure.
In addition to TIBCO’s technologies, Siemens will deliver its Smart Grid visualization capabilities, providing a lightweight, browser-based user interface.
Implementation of the Smart Grid integration solution began in August 2011, and the project is estimated to be completed in May 2013.
The project is a result of Con Edison Company of New York receiving funding for the Smart Grid demonstration project from the Department of Energy through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act stimulus program.
