The GNM, a centralized software platform, running in the SmartPlace Network Operations Center (NOC) will help the operators monitor and manage the testbed’s AMI, backhaul, electric vehicle and home areas networks.
GridMaven vice president Paul Moon said GridMaven Network Manager will allow the SmartPlace NOC to optimize network performance with a system-wide view that hasn’t been available before.
"With it, we can manage massive data while maintaining grid stability," Moon added.
"In addition, GridMaven will extend the viability of legacy networks to new applications with new performance requirements, such as retail energy trading and demand response."
The platform integrates five focus areas namely smart homes and appliances, energy storage, electric vehicle transportation infrastructure, renewable energy, and green buildings into one ecosystem for optimizing utility smart grid communication network.
The testbed is to demonstrate and commercialize the end-to-end smart grid infrastructure.
GridMaven, a division of SK Telecom, is a provider of innovative telecommunications solutions for the smart grid.
