Smart teamwork

The battle against climate change, combined with the search for energy and process efficiency has been slowly but surely pushing the topic of smart grids up the agendas of many companies. In fact, since European and US governments identifi ed them as key to meeting their environmental goals and achieving energy security, it has found its way into the popular media. While it may seem like a new concept to many, ABB has actually been active in this area for several years, developing the technologies and standards that will be needed in the future. In fact, many are already being used to enable modern grid operation and provide greater efficiency, reliability and intelligence.
