Smart Grids Sample Clauses

Smart Grids. According to the European Technology Platform Smart Grid (ETPSG)2, a Smart Grid is an electricity network that can intelligently integrate the actions of all users connected to it -generators, consumers and those that do both- in order to efficiently deliver sustainable, economic and secure electricity supplies. A smart grid uses innovative products and services together with intelligent monitoring, control, communication and self-healing technologies3 in order to: • Better facilitate the connection and operation of generators of all sizes and technologies; • Allow electricity consumers to play a part in optimizing the operation of the system; • Provide consumers with greater information and options for choice of supply; • Significantly reduce the environmental impact of the whole electricity supply system; • Maintain or even improve the existing high levels of system reliability, quality and security of supply; • Maintain and improve the existing services efficiently; • Xxxxxx market integration towards a European integrated market. The definition provided by the Energy Networks Association (ENA)4 is: The Smart Grid is everything from generation through to home automation with a smart meter being an important element, with every piece of network equipment, communications technology and processes in between contributing to an efficient and smart grid. A completely Smart Grid of the future will enable appliances in the home to communicate with the smart meter and enable the networks to ensure efficient use of infrastructure, demand response and energy management. These are all critical to making the most of intermittent renewables and keeping the lights on in an affordable low-carbon energy future.

  • Network Access Control The VISION Web Site and the Distribution Support Services Web Site (the “DST Web Sites”) are protected through multiple levels of network controls. The first defense is a border router which exists at the boundary between the DST Web Sites and the Internet Service Provider. The border router provides basic protections including anti-spoofing controls. Next is a highly available pair of stateful firewalls that allow only HTTPS traffic destined to the DST Web Sites. The third network control is a highly available pair of load balancers that terminate the HTTPS connections and then forward the traffic on to one of several available web servers. In addition, a second highly available pair of stateful firewalls enforce network controls between the web servers and any back-end application servers. No Internet traffic is allowed directly to the back-end application servers. The DST Web Sites equipment is located and administered at DST’s Winchester data center. Changes to the systems residing on this computer are submitted through the DST change control process. All services and functions within the DST Web Sites are deactivated with the exception of services and functions which support the transfer of files. All ports on the DST Web Sites are disabled, except those ports required to transfer files. All “listeners,” other than listeners required for inbound connections from the load balancers, are deactivated. Directory structures are “hidden” from the user. Services which provide directory information are also deactivated.
