Today, CEO Mary Hester of LAN Systems, a leading Atlanta IT Consulting
company, facilitated the SCADA and Smart Grid discussion at the Georgia
Distribution and Transmission Automation Group (DTAG) conference at The
Electric Cooperative Training Center in Forsyth, Georgia.
Topics included what utilities are currently doing to support the grid and a
discussion of initiatives to incorporate the latest technology for electric
utilities. SCADA, communication, monitoring and database systems will all
benefit from the increased priority and awareness of the importance of the
power grid. For years, utilities have implemented technologies that contribute
to an autonomous grid. "The Intelligent or Smart Grid is not a new concept
for electric utilities," said LAN Systems CEO, Mary Hester.
"Utilities have been working toward this goal for many years. With the
support of government and consumers, our dream of a smart, secure grid is
closer than ever."
The group supports automation, SCADA and technical initiatives for Georgia’s
power utilities. The meeting offers an opportunity for electric utility
personnel to view and learn about SCADA related products, keep up to date on
issues and current events related to SCADA, interact with peers as well as
receive detailed training specific to the equipment and software that is
available to them.
