Smart grid interoperability
Integration, testing, and compliance certification to manage grid technology risks.
Smart grid products and services are emerging from a growing number of suppliers. Smart grid program success will rely on the deployed technologies’ end-to-end integration and compatibility—one that is driven and sustained by compliance with uniform standards. DNV helps energy industry participants navigate to-be-defined smart grid interoperability standards and manage risks of deploying and integrating new technologies with existing assets.
DNV has developed the Smart Grid Interoperability Laboratory to provide the utility industry and key suppliers a platform for managing risk exposure, verifying business case projections, and securing a more effective and efficient smart grid deployment.
