.@SS_Higgins, Please reach out to me on any Grid Automation topics for Feeders, Substations and Control Centers #SEUtility, Thank you.

[Steven Scott Higgins @SS_Higgins]

.@FSRoesner Will Substation and Feeder Automation devices be engineered to work together more effectively in the future? #SEUtility

[Steven Scott Higgins @SS_Higgins]

Thanks to both our panelists and participants. Please contact any of us at @SchneiderNA on any energy management topic #SEUtility

[Steven Scott Higgins @SS_Higgins]

.@RonChebra Implementing Automatic Loop Automation switching schemes can actually improve reliability with fewer switch points #SEUtility

[Steven Scott Higgins @SS_Higgins]

.@BassemMaurice How is smart switching evolving from traditional sectionalizing and reclosing technologies? #SEUtility

[Steven Scott Higgins @SS_Higgins]

.@RonChebra Absolutely, #GIS can be used to visualize and analyze historical #OMS and #weather data to improve asset investment #SEUtility

[Steven Scott Higgins @SS_Higgins]

.@RonChebra Advanced Distribution Management systems offer consolidation of Outage, Distribution Modeling and Real Time Control #SEUtility

[Steven Scott Higgins @SS_Higgins]

.@RonChebra Will utilities have to re-engineer whole feeders, or can they implement pieces that build over time? #SEUtility

[Steven Scott Higgins @SS_Higgins]

.@PDVPP Are there emerging standards to connect these resources and systems between Utilities and Consumers? #SEUtility

[Steven Scott Higgins @SS_Higgins]

Please send us your questions or ideas on topics of Microgrids, Substation and Distribution Automation and End User solutions #SEUtility

[Steven Scott Higgins @SS_Higgins]

.@RonaldChebra what are the business drivers for utilities to invest in VVO or Automatic Switching applications like FLISR? #SEUtility

[Steven Scott Higgins @SS_Higgins]

.@BassemMaurice How does centralizing DA applications compare to localizing it out on distribution feeders and in substations? #SEUtility

[Steven Scott Higgins @SS_Higgins]

.@FSRoesner for Utilities with DNP3.0 protocol in substations, is there a path to emerging protocols like IEC61850? #SEUtility

[Steven Scott Higgins @SS_Higgins]

.@RonChebra Can AMI Networks meet the performance needs of DA applications like Automatic Switching and Volt/VAR Control? #SEUtility

[Steven Scott Higgins @SS_Higgins]

.@philipb465 What are the typical generation approaches for different sized microgrids? #SEUtility

[Steven Scott Higgins @SS_Higgins]

.@RonChebra Communication is an important part of Utility DA Strategies, How are utilities approaching this to reach DA devices? #SEUtility

[Steven Scott Higgins @SS_Higgins]

.@BassemMaurice Are self healing distribution networks an area utilities are investing in? #SEUtility

[Steven Scott Higgins @SS_Higgins]

.@Philipb465, Philip Barton is our Microgrids expert. Does Schneider Electric construct microgrids for Utilities and End Users? #SEUtility

[Steven Scott Higgins @SS_Higgins]

.@PDVPP, for Phil Davis our Demand Side Management expert. Is demand response gaining ground or in decline? #SEUtility

[Steven Scott Higgins @SS_Higgins]

.@FSRoesner on Substation Automation. We have serial communication to our substations, Do we have to worry about NERC CIP v.5? #SEUtility
