CEO Mary Hester of LAN Systems, a leading Atlanta Computer Support company, facilitated the SCADA and the Smart Grid
discussion at the Georgia SCADA User Meeting at the Smarr Electric Cooperative
Training Center this week.
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 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.
