Better yet, many outages—
which cause losses of some
$150 billion each year within
the U.S.—can be avoided outright. Communications technology from Massachusetts-based
Ambient Corp., for example,
is enabling utilities like Duke
Energy to install intelligent
sensors and switches across
its power distribution systems,
providing a level of visibility and
control that utilities have never
before enjoyed. “By combining
our communications platform
with software applications we’ve
developed, utilities can perform
real-time current and voltage
sensing,” says John J. Joyce,
Ambient’s president and CEO.
“That lets them spot spikes or
significant decreases in the flow
of energy before brownouts
or blackouts occur. It means
they can act, instead of react.
That’s vital, as one of the key
ways we’re going to meet the
increased demand for energy
in coming years is to deliver it
more efficiently.”
