About the event: In recent years a huge amount of interest has arisen in Smart Networks. Barack Obama included the roll out of smart networks as part of his stimulus package. There is also a lot of debate throughout Europe on this topic. This presentation will outline ESB Networks strategy for developing smart networks. It will describe work already carried out in this area and the challenges still to be addressed. The integrated nature of the strategy will be outlined, which, when implemented will bring benefits of enhanced customer value, lower CO2 emissions and improved security of supply. ESB has a number of technical problems to address to facilitate the full roll out of smart networks and some of these R&D projects will be outlined.
