An electrical grid is a network of technologies that delivers electricity from power plants to consumers in their homes and offices. A smarter grid is different in a few important ways. First, it uses information technologies to improve how electricity travels from power plants to consumers. Second, it allows those consumers to interact with the grid. Third, it integrates new and improved technologies into the operation of the grid. A smarter grid will enable many benefits, including improved response to power demand, more intelligent management of outages, better integration of renewable forms of energy, and the storage of electricity.
The Smart Grid is an automated electric power system that monitors and controls grid activities, ensuring the two-way flow of electricity and information between power plants and consumers—and all points in between. Up and down the electric power system, the Smart Grid will generate billions of data points from thousands of system devices and hundreds of thousands of consumers. What makes this grid "smart" is the ability to sense, monitor, and, in some cases, control (automatically or remotely) how the system operates or behaves under a given set of conditions. In its most basic form, implementation of a smarter grid is adding intelligence to all areas of the electric power system to optimize our use of electricity.
FADRS® is a proven and reliable smart grid technology. Our System allows for real-time, intelligent load control that bridges the gap between Independent System Operators, utilities, Curtailment Service Providers, and facilities.
By allowing your facility to curtail its electric use during times of crisis for the grid, and using FADRS® to effect automated curtailment, your earnings will be maximized, and your building occupants will be more comfortable during an event.

Demand response programs exist in energy markets across North America, and each region has opportunities that help meet their unique energy reduction goals. This is actually an "insurance policy" for the ISO that they can rely on during the hottest, most humid summer days when the demand for electricity approaches the available supply.
The goal to developing a "Smart Grid" is to upgrade our electric grid to be more efficient, more reactive to real-time grid conditions, and promote more sophisticated demand management strategies. Commercial & Industrial implementation of Demand Response are the most effective form of smart grid implementations, and among the most complex.
