Emerson Network Power Shares Strategies for Transition to Smart Grid for IT and Telecom Professionals, CSEs and Solar Power System Integrators
“What Smart Grid Means to You” eBook downloadable at no cost at EmersonNetworkPower.com/SmartGrid
Columbus, Ohio [April 19, 2010] –Emerson Network Power, a business of
Emerson (NYSE: EMR) and the global leader in enabling Business-Critical
Continuity™, today announced the availability of a new eBook, “What Smart
Grid Means to You.” In the eBook, Emerson Network Power experts outline
strategies to help those on the front lines of the Smart Grid transition. The
eBook addresses challenges and opportunities for CIOs and IT departments,
consulting and specifying engineers, facility managers, telecom providers, and
solar power system integrators.
The core framework of the nation's electrical grid was established in the
late 19th century. It is not capable of addressing the unique demands and
challenges of a next-generation power infrastructure – like the desire to
incorporate alternate energy sources and to make energy-use decisions based on
real-time pricing information. To realize the benefits of Smart Grid,
organizations should begin planning now.
Smart Grid will bridge the communication gap between supply and demand,
spanning from power plants into our homes. It will handle multiple sources and
levels of electricity generation, incorporating clean, alternate energy, like
wind and solar. Through digital delivery and control interfaces, it will allow
consumers to make informed decisions about their power use.
“Emerson Network Power has power expertise from grid to chip – from embedded
power supplies and converters to power transfer switches to uninterruptible
power supplies, and our peer businesses within Emerson broaden that range
tremendously – from power generation to the thermostats at the point of
consumption,” said Charles O’Donnell, vice president of engineering for the
Liebert AC Power business of Emerson Network Power in North America. “This
eBook allows us to share some basic information to help organizations prepare
for a Smart Grid, and ultimately take advantage of capabilities that could
significantly benefit our planet and their bottom line.”
To complement the eBook, Emerson Network Power is releasing a Smart Grid
video series. The videos and eBook are available at
