Smart Grids are being promoted by electrical utilities and regulatory agencies worldwide as a way of addressing initiatives on energy saving, global warming and power grid reliability and security issues. The smart grid network is an integration of (i) electric power grids that delivers electricity from power generation sources to end-users and (ii) effective two-way digital communication networks between utilities and consumers that monitors, manages, and controls the grid operations, renewable resources, and energy demands. .....More

The utility power substations play a very important role in delivering electricity to consumers by converting high transmission voltage to the lower voltage used in homes and businesses. Since substations are widely distributed and unmanned, remote monitoring is extremely crucial.....More

Distribution automation is one of the critical applications for the utility companies. It can automatically restore and backup the path of power supply if there is an error in the power distribution network...More

With the introduction of high speed Internet, today’s upper bandwidth requirements are rapidly increase. To address the demand for expanded bandwidth, Internet service providers are providing FTTH broadband internet services to serve and reach their customers....More

As market demand for high-bandwidth applications such as video conferencing, HD (High Definition) IPTV, and VOD (Video on Demand) heats up, Telco and service providers are looking into offering reliable and cost-effective broadband services to their end-customers. ...More

As energy efficiency becomes increasingly important for controlling costs, improving energy independence and reducing environmental impacts, LED (Light-emitting diode) technology will become the world's leading source of street lights. Compared with traditional HPS (high-pressure sodium) street lights, LED streetlights can economize thousands of dollars on maintenance cost, replacement and energy cost. Therefore, more and more cities adopt an environmentally friendly and energy efficient lighting solution without diminishing quality of light.....More

Countries usually generate most of their electricity in centralized mega power plants and transmit the power via star topology powerline network over long distance. Such architecture has built-in inefficiencies due to power loss over long distance as well as negative environmental impact...More

In recent years, increasing concerns over global warming, carbon emissions, and fuel shortages are escalating, more and more automakers plan or manufacture to produce electric vehicles. Electric vehicles emit no air pollutants no matter they are operated or idled. ...More
