Current’s solution, the Smart Transformer Station (STS), is expected to provide a suite of products to solve smart grid problems. The STS product portfolio has specifically been designed to solve distribution and metering challenges in European, Australian, and Asia Pacific utility grid architectures.
The STS consists of a portfolio of smart grid infrastructure hardware and software products to provide solutions for communications, sensing and analytics, advanced metering, and device, data, and event management.
Tom Willie, senior vice president of products and technology at Current, said: “Utilities around the world have recognized that there are serious challenges in operating a distribution network in an environment of aging infrastructure, retiring workforces, centralized and distributed renewable energy sources, and increased desire from customers to have visibility into their energy consumption.
“These challenges will require them to invest in solutions that provide for greater connectivity and control over grid devices, greater transparency into grid conditions, and greater responsiveness in communicating and providing information to their end users of electricity. The Current STS solution is tailored to specifically provide utilities with a solution to these expanding challenges.”
