Expanded S&C Europe Services Team Offers Solutions for Smart Grid and Renewable Energy Integration

LONDON, June 20, 2011 -

S&C Electric Company, a
global leader in smart grids and renewable energy integration,
today announces an expansion of its UK-based Power Systems Services
operation.  Three new engineers have joined S&C’s European
team, bringing with them a combined 50 years worth of experience in
utility transmission and distribution systems, smart grids, and
renewable energy integration.  This latest expansion continues
the growth of S&C’s European support operations, which
accelerated with the formation of S&C Europe LLC in 2008.

The new engineers will perform analytical studies to understand
power delivery issues ranging from reliability problems to
renewable energy interconnection issues.  S&C’s Power
Systems Services team will then apply these findings to deliver
detailed, comprehensive recommendations designed to improve the
reliability, stability, and efficiency of the power system.

With rapidly growing use of distributed generation, renewable
energy sources, and electric vehicles, utilities in Europe are
navigating major changes in how electricity is supplied and
delivered.  S&C’s expanded team offers deep expertise in
local issues and requirements and can provide expert counsel on how
to improve the reliability and efficiency of the grid amidst these
changes.  

“Electric power delivery systems are growing increasingly
complex,” says Andrew Jones, managing director, S&C Europe.
 ”S&C’s growing Power Systems Services team offers
hands-on support to help customers manage the biggest changes in
power delivery systems in over a century.”
