Clarity chosen to implement Singapore’s Intelligent Energy System

Clarity has been accepted by Accenture to implement Phase 1 of the Intelligent Energy System pilot project spearheaded by Singapore’s Energy Market Authority.

The IES is an important step towards a smarter power grid, which will provide its consumers more information, choice and control over their electricity usage.

The project was awarded by EMA to Accenture with ST Electronics as a key technology partner. Phase 1 of

the IES pilot project will involve around 4,500 customers in residential, commercial and industrial settings, including the Nanyang

Technological University campus, the CleanTech Park at Jalan Bahar and the Punggol Eco-Precinct. This will take place

during 2010-12 with a key emphasis to establish the smart metering communication protocols and standards. During this time, the

focus will be on implementing the infrastructure that consists of the advanced metering infrastructure and the communication system.

Clarity will be working with ST Electronics and Accenture to deliver a unified operational management system

that will centralise the collection and processing of data from multiple last mile technologies, initially to include RF mesh and PLC,

monitor the performance of the last mile solution and manage the distribution of data to other operational systems such as the Meter Data Management System.

“This flexibility will enable other global markets and jurisdictions to be best positioned to deal with the many new and significant real-time, two-way challenges that lie ahead on the journey towards smarter networks including having a standard-based solution to manage the communications between customers’ homes and appliances and Utility grids across any last mile solution”, said Bob Darwin, Vice President Global Utilities at Clarity.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
