Solutions

BPL Global^® (BPLG) provides software solutions and services to electric utilities and their customers enabling an intelligent grid to more efficiently manage demand, integrate distributed energy resources, improve service reliability, and optimize cost and capital productivity.

Capacity and Supply
Integrated Distributed Energy Resource Management is a control system providing electric utilities with the capability to maximize asset utilization and optimize management of the distribution network. For the first time, electric utilities can coordinate management of distributed generation, renewables, energy storage, and demand on a common platform. This solution allows dynamic, real-time management based on the changing conditions of the distribution network. Typical annual value created for each managed circuit can reach $1 million from market and operational benefits.

Demand and Efficiency
Demand management and efficiency solutions are vital short term solutions to help utilities bridge the growing gap between supply and demand. Our demand management solutions provide real-time direct load control with precision and verification. They are designed for residential and commercial and industrial electric customers. We also offer comprehensive building monitoring, control and management solution that gives the user the ability to proactively manage energy and water consumption, operations and efficiency in buildings. Demand management and efficiency solutions are one of the most valuable investments a utility can make. As an alternative to building new generation, demand management can be deployed for about 1/3 the investment.

Reliability and Operations
Aging electrical infrastructure and increasing demand are making reliability and operational productivity a priority for many electric utilities around the world. BPLG has award winning technology for transformer monitoring, helping utilities to avoid dangerous and costly failures while optimizing maintenance schedules and extending the life of these assets. We provide substation automation systems that improve electric service reliability while reducing operations and maintenance costs. Our Rapid Fault Locator solution detects and reports line faults on overhead distribution feeders, and provides continuous monitoring of the line conditions avoiding faults and reducing the duration of outages.

Communications
An intelligent grid depends on a robust communications platform to manage the significant increase in data capacity required to support two-way communications between a centralized software platform for monitoring and control and smart devices distributed throughout the electrical network. BPLG offers communications solutions from basic network monitoring, to robust smart grid communications, to last-mile broadband services to consumers and businesses.
