SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC

With the goal of creating a stable grid with fewer fluctuations in price , Schneider Electric has developed what they call a “ prosumer solution .” This solution is centered on being able to control the smart grid from the customer ’ s location , both in homes and businesses . With software tailored to them , these “ prosumers ” will be able to customize in demand responses from the smart grid , improve grid reliability and automate their usage . This software is greatly improving how customers of utility companies are interacting with the smart grid . Much like advancements made by Tendril , these changes will improve how end users feel about the new technology in a positive way and will help perpetuate acceptance and adoption .
