What is between Grid of Things (GoT) and Internet of Things (IoT) is HoT (Holistically Orchestrated Things)
by Ron Chebra
The Grid of Things
When it comes to connected things operating interactively and in close harmony with other assets, one just needs to look at the electric grid as a prime example of how efficiencies and optimization can be achieved by leveraging remote monitoring and control. Intelligent grid and network-connected assets can be ...

EnerNex managed an engagement to develop a smart grid roadmap, architecture, and business case for the LADWP.
Following an initial assessment of the organization's plans and readiness, EnerNex worked with the client to define a smart grid strategy that served as guidance for the development of the roadmap and architecture. The ten-year roadmap consisted of a prioritized set of defined projects including smart meter deployment, demand response for large ...
EnerNex developed business cases for the microgrids and performed cost benefit analyses for generation options including combined heat and power (CHP), natural gas and propane fuels.
EnerNex calculated the total electric load and wrote the generator specifications for the microgrids for multiple community microgrids.
We prepared the formal documents including project summaries and recommendations for presentation to senior management and the state’...
