Telkonet Stages Free Smart Grid Webinar on Deploying Powerline Communications (PLC) Technology for Intra-Substation Communication

Substation Automation at the Top of the Agenda, Looking at How PLC Can Deliver Proactive, Reliable Real-Time Data Monitoring

GERMANTOWN, Md.-- Telkonet, Inc. (NYSE Amex:TKO), a Clean Technology company that develops and manufactures proprietary energy management and Smart Grid networking technology, announces that it is hosting a free-access utility substation automation Webinar on Wednesday, August 26, 2009. Utility companies are continually researching new methods of improving substation operation, with reliable communications often requiring a disproportionate investment in fiber laying and equipment. The Webinar looks at the role played by powerline communications (PLC) technology as a viable alternative, using the existing low voltage or control wires to provide a reliable, secure communications network within a substation. The agenda includes an in-depth discussion regarding the proactive monitoring of transformers and other equipment to improve reliability together with saving operation and maintenance costs, with PLC providing the communications channel between a Control House and the Transformers/ Circuit Breakers.

Featuring industry professionals from Dynamic Ratings and SDG&E, along with Telkonet's resident expert Teejay Reidl, Telkonet's Webinar will provide a comprehensive comparison of the various communication-enabling technologies, together with specific installation examples.
