Standards OSGP includes important grid optimization requirements
Smart meters as a grid sensor Addresses not only billing, but power quality and all aspects of smart meters and other
grid sensing devices
Turning transformers in to “smart transformers” Allow data to be requested (and/or digested) by a head-end or a data concentrator
based application
Support other devices on the grid together with meters
Open
Reliable: >99,8%,
Easy to do remote firware upgrade

In Conclusion
You can get to grid optimization today:1. Smart meters can be used as grid sensors
2. Transformers become “smart” with simple monitoring
Standards are essentialOSGP includes key grid optimization requirements – today!
OSGP is backed by industry leaders – many are at the show!
