“I can see a world very soon where power grids everywhere become more intelligent, digital and controllable. NGET will be a leader in this transition and it’s inevitable that technology like Smart Wires will be a big part of this future.”

“SmartValve is more flexible, quicker to build and solves a whole other range of issues that you can’t solve with the old technologies.”

“At its heart this is a story of optimization. We continue to forge the path towards renewable energy, while saving money for our customers. This is the key to unlocking extra capacity in a safe, cost-effective and fast way.”

“We are always interested in finding new ways to maximise the use of the New South Wales transmission network, and we’re looking forward to working with Smart Wires in this trial.”

“This is an exciting time in the energy industry—the ways we generate, distribute, and consume electricity in America are rapidly changing. Today we have the opportunity to play offense and create America’s energy future by becoming smarter, faster, and more responsive.”

“This is the kind of advance that can put ‘smart’ into the electric grid and give us a level of control we haven’t had before.”

“Using new technologies that drive long-term value for customers is vital to the energy system of the future. The technology is a simple concept that makes better use of spare capacity in parallel lines.”

“The innovative use of distributed power flow control is an important element for making the transmission grid more dynamic and resilient. We are constantly seeking technologies that will lower energy costs for our customers.”
