Today, there are as many competing visions and definitions of the Smart Grid as there are utilities looking to build and implement the technology. What is lacking is a clear technology road map of practical, sequential steps to modernize the grid that can be tailored to each utility’s particular mix of operational and strategic objectives.

Unlike other firms, R. W. Beck advances Smart Grid services by applying our industry-leading experience to enhance our clients’ business performance. Our experienced team of engineers, systems and integration experts, financial analysts and management consultants specialize in helping clients develop a clear vision and comprehensive technology roadmap that identifies the core systems needed to support the transition to the smarter grid. From there, we work with our clients to develop practical implementation plans and integration strategies that deliver the required capabilities and return on investment at a manageable level of risk.

R. W. Beck guided the planning and implementation of AMI, demand response, thermal storage, load control, renewables, home automation, commercial energy automation, distribution automation and utility communications projects. Through hands-on experience, R. W. Beck has built specialized expertise that spans the entire energy value chain from generation to transmission to distribution and the customer premise. The result: our clients are taking clear, substantial steps on the path toward the Smart Grid, while realizing new benefits and value every step of the way.
