Smart Grid webinars
This series of educational webinars is sponsored by the ABB Smart Grid Center of Excellence (COE). The COE leverages ABB’s proven experience as a global T&D OT and IT systems provider, simplifying and expediting the planning, engineering, purchasing and deployment of sustainable grid solutions for any budget level.
Webinar topics:
Self-healing grid Volt/VAr efficiency Sustainability Mircogrid Demand response Asset health
How to determine the right self-healing grid strategy to achieve your budget and reliability goals:
A look at three business models
CAIDI and SAIDI scores are under close scrutiny from PUCs and other government agencies. Self-healing grid strategies can improve these metrics by up to 33%. This webinar will discuss three proven self-healing grid business models:
- Peer to peer
- Substation level
- Centralized
Join this interactive panel discussion to learn what type of investment and reliability improvements you can expect from these three business models. Plus, learn about technology options and implementation strategies for any budget.

The Volt/VAr efficiency business case:
An examination into the proven technologies, implementation strategies, and payback
An increasing demand for power is putting a heavy burden on grid capacity and aging infrastructure. In order to meet demand, minimize costly downtime and limit expensive capital projects, it is necessary to increase the capacity of the existing distribution grid. Fortunately, technology solutions are not "one size fits all."
This webinar will discuss three technology levels of volt/VAr efficiency strategies. Both substation level and enterprise-wide applications will be examined closely for payback opportunity in power efficiency and return on investment.

Introduction to Microgrids
These decentralized systems are becoming a talking point in many circles with the key factor and driving demand for Microgrids being reliability. However, there are other key influencing factors which help utilities, military bases, commercial campuses and isolated communities justify the expense of installing distributed generation.
The discussion will focus on how to properly implement a Microgrid, utilize renewables while maintaining stability and gaining efficiency in the production and consumption of power.

Demand Response: De-mystifying the technologies that maximize the payback
Discover how utilities are using Demand Response (DER) technologies today to:
- Utilize customer-controlled power to help manage grid capacity,
- Integrate renewable power generation sources, such as wind and solar,
- More closely balance power supply and demand, and
- Reliably support the emerging electric vehicle market.
In this webinar, ABB smart grid experts will discuss how Demand Response applications enable utilities to improve system reliability, reduce CAPEX spending for new infrastructure and lower emissions.
