[Open Gardens] Open Gardens » LTE and Smart Grids: A huge opportunity for ...: One way to grasp what a transition to a Smart Grid can do for energy is by way of analogy: In many ways, the Smart Grid would be to the existing utility network what the Internet and the Web have become to the traditional telecommunications system. Before the Internet, that system was a privately owned, government regulated technology backbone that delivered and accepted a limited range of transmissions (largely voice and fax data) from homes and businesses that could create and accept those signals, and nothing more.

[SmartMeters] US Planning International Smart Grid Network: ccording to government sources, the United States plans to announce the formation of the International Smart Grid Action Network, or ISGAN, to expand the U.S. energy market through smart grid standardization and take the lead in the new energy business. The Obama administration is expected to make the announcement at the first ministerial meeting on clean energy to take place in Washington, D.C.

[The Security Blog» Latest InfoSec Threat Research & News | TheSecurityBlog.com] Stuxnet-A View From an Energy Perspective - Security Threat ...: Critical infrastructures ranging from electrical grids, to oil production facilities to telecommunications and transportation networks are under constant attack from cybercriminals. I'd like to focus on the potential impact on compromised systems, the complexity of the coordination of different vectors of attack, as well as what this means for the energy sector.

[Efficient Energy] Smart Grid Projects in 90 Percent of U.S. States | Efficient Energy: ON World’s survey of US smart grid projects found that about a third plan to enable two-way communications with their customers and another third are developing their demand response strategies.

[Investing Contrarian] Who's Going To Secure The Cloud? | Investing Contrarian: When we label the CIO as Chief Information Officer, we have put him in charge of Information and associated technology in our mind, which we treat as similar to the handling of electricity, gas, telecom or other utilities. However, when we recognise that the CIO is actually handling the crown jewels of our enterprise, then we may be minded to call him CDC or Chief of Digital Capital!

[Talkstandards] The Smart Grid Last Mile(s) - Part 2 | Talkstandards: On the energy side, the primary interface to the device is in the form of the AMI or the Smart Meter. The AMI incorporates systems that measure, collect, and analyze energy usage from advanced devices such as electricity meters, gas meters, and/or water meters, through various communication media on request or on a pre-defined schedule.

[mammoth] risk - mammoth // building nothing out of something: The railroads were originally private enterprises, the New York City subway/interborough rapid transit system was privately funded, and the electric grid in much of the northeastern US is under the auspices of the private-but-heavily regulated Con Edison. But we live in a decade when all design writing is hyperbolic [gentle tease: note the irony here] and rather than building on the past, seeks to break with it and launch the world into the future based solely on the brilliance of this or that practitioner/theorist.
