Title :
Utilities Look to the Skies for Monitoring the Power Grid
Abstract :
Early next year, power utilities across the United States could be looking to the skies to help them collect meter information about electricity use. They´ll use satellites to acquire data on a near real-time basis so they can provide users with accurate usage data and model and predict power grid status more accurately.
