Utility Applications
The most significant impact of implenting a nation-wide BPL network will be an increased stabilization of electricity distribution. By digitizing the grid itself and implenting automatic meter readers, engineers will have real time access through PowerGrid's patented GridEye System to network and grid status. Not only does this help with pre-emptive load balancing, it will create a more stable and reliable source of revenue for the local utility.
