Today, electricity permeates every aspect of our lives, whether at home, on the road, or in industrial and commercial environments. Our ability to generate electricity and deliver it at the point of use in a reliable and timely manner is of strategic importance to modern society. As the cost-effectiveness of storage remains problematic, electricity needs to be controlled in real time at every step of its production, transmission and distribution. Hence the smart grid. MacroMedia Panorama solutions play an important role in the entire power industry - for example, in nuclear power plants or combined cycle gas or biopellet plants, just as they do in remote production facilities (in the case of renewable energies). Our solutions are also used in the management of grid equipment and the control of high-voltage DC interconnectors.
