What is a DSO?
Published by European Distribution System Operators (E.DSO), Why smart grids?Website: edsoforsmartgrids.eu Distribution system operators (DSOs) are the operating managers (and sometimes owners) of energy distribution networks, operating at low, medium and, in some member states, high voltage levels (LV, MV). Transmission grids transport large quantities of high (and extreme high) voltage (HV, EHV) electricity across vastContinue reading “What is a DSO?”

What is Automatic Transfer Switch Testing & How is it Done
Published by Carelabs (Carelabz), Website: carelabz.com A transfer switch’s main job is to redistribute power from a grid to a backup source of power. The control panel system of a transfer switch is what makes the unit automatic in nature. Power failures can be detected immediately with the help of automatic transfer switch (ATS) and theContinue reading “What is Automatic Transfer Switch Testing & How is it Done”
