The Smart Energy Platform
Silver Spring enables utilities to rapidly and cost effectively deploy a broad set of smart grid initiatives. Whether a utility starts with Advanced Metering or Distribution Automation or focuses on consumers with Demand Response or Electric Vehicle projects, Silver Spring delivers the unified smart grid platform needed for these missions to succeed. The breadth and depth of the Silver Spring Smart Energy Platform, with its high level of customization, accounts for Silver Spring’s widespread adoption across a varied set of utilities worldwide – just in the United States, for example, Silver Spring has deployed its smart grid platform to 16 utilities around the world.
The Silver Spring Smart Energy Platform incorporates standards-based network infrastructure, software, and services – all tailored to a utility’s particular project goals, service territory and terrain requirements, regulatory model and operational structure.
The smart grid network includes intelligent endpoints and network infrastructure that collect and relay information to a utility’s back office. These energy efficiency devices, powered by Silver Spring firmware, work in concert to create a self-configuring, highly redundant mesh network with ubiquitous coverage, strong security, and the scale and performance needed to deliver a broad set of smart grid initiatives across millions of intelligent endpoints.
The Silver Spring UtilityIQ application suite includes Advanced Metering, Outage Detection, and network management applications, and it supports standard web services for integration into a utility’s back-office applications. Silver Spring software also includes the CustomerIQ, formerly Greenbox, the consumer interface for utilities to relay consumption and pricing information and manage energy efficiency programs such as Demand Response.
Integration and other professional smart grid services round out the Silver Spring Smart Energy Platform. These custom energy efficiency services are at the heart of each customer engagement, covering the full life cycle of a project from plan through build to run and they ensure success at every stage of the project.
