Beyond smart metering As the global leaders in energy management solutions, Landis+Gyr and Toshiba are positioned at the forefront of smart grid developments; with the acquisition of Consert, cyberGRID, PowerSense and Gridiant, and the establishment of the Smart Grid Solution Center in Nuremberg, Germany, the two partners have taken important steps to ensure that they will strengthen this position. With the new enhanced offering from Landis+Gyr and Toshiba, utility customers are able to move beyond smart metering to distribution automation, data analytics, microgrids and sensoring. During the European Utility Week, Landis+Gyr will be showcasing modular, innovative solutions allowing utilities to upgrade their existing grid infrastructure. Grid Digitalization: Currently, the level of real time information in the distribution network is low, which raises concerns with regard to network management, especially when impacted by future Distributed Energy Resource (DER) integration. Other areas of concern are investment protection, reduction of technical losses and the optimization of supply quality. 5 5
