5. True Field Interoperability!
The Emerging Technology Office at Duke Energy is tasked with looking into the future and trying to solve problems that may negatively impact our company and our industry. Over the past five years, we have watched as interoperability is discussed and debated at various industry groups and standards bodies but have seen no real breakthroughs in technology. In order to achieve true interoperability, vendors and manufactors will have to fully buy in and change their proprietary approaches. To date , this has not happened this coalition work is Duke’s way to try and kick start the industry down this path. By no means do we think we have all the answers; but we wanted to show that real interoperability is achievable
In its simplest form – interoperability in the utility between devices and systems will reduce costs for the utility and their customers and provide greater operational benefits including enhanced reliability
Packaged solutions do not allow for utilities to get the best of breed hardware, communications, and software
