Siemens Energy and BPL Global (BPLG) are expanding their relationship in North America to provide smart grid solutions. Siemens is currently an investor in BPLG and a co-marketer of its transformer monitors, and now Siemens will team with BPLG to integrate and resell BPLG load management and distributed energy resource management solutions.
The companies will integrate BPLG smart grid solutions with Siemens' distribution automation applications, including its distribution management system (DMS), SCADA and substation automation solutions.
Keith Schaefer, CEO of BPLG, said: "Expanding our strategic relationship with Siemens as an investor and partner provides a comprehensive Smart Grid solution for electric utilities. This is essential to meet the step-change in market demand catalyzed by ARRA funding. Combining the unparalleled market presence and solution breadth of Siemens and leading Smart Grid solutions from BPLG positions both companies to better serve our customers."
BPLG develops and deploys transformational smart grid solutions to modernize electric grids, addressing applications across the grid from the substation to customer premises. BPLG's demand management solution integrates software, hardware and services that enable the utility to directly manage non-critical load for operational and market monetization needs. The solution provides electric utilities with direct control of dispatchable load with predictable and verifiable management of individual loads.
Mike Edmonds, vice president of energy automation at Siemens Energy, said: "Working with innovative partners like BPLG allows Siemens to strengthen our Smart Grid solutions, a portfolio unmatched by any supplier in the industry.
"Power SG Smart Grid solutions from BPLG enable Siemens to provide direct load management and distributed energy resource management integrated with our distribution automation solutions. This link will enable utilities to add controllable demand management to their smart grid deployments, creating enhanced value for distribution network operations."
