The proliferation of smart networked embedded systems throughout the grid will revolutionize the way electricity is produced, consumed, and distributed and will act as a foundation pillar for a clean energy future. Hear directly from smart grid systems engineers about the ground breaking applications and tools they are developing with NI reconfigurable embedded system technology. The goal of this technical session is to arm you with fundamental information and lessons learned you can apply to your own smart-grid applications. What can you do with an embedded instrumentation system capable of real-time processing and analytics? What’s the importance of sensors? What time synchronization technologies are available and how can you create a network of synchrophasor measurement units (PMUs) to intelligently monitor power flow throughout the grid?
