Honeywell to Develop First Commercial Smart Grid In China

Honeywell has announced that it has been selected to develop China’s first smart grid pilot project and feasibility study to monitor and manage electricity use in commercial buildings. The project, which focuses on “demand-side” management, will utilize Honeywell’s state-of-the-art smart grid technology, including automated demand response, advanced energy management and submetering.

The Honeywell project will help SGEPRI assess the overall utility of the smart grid system and begin planning for a wide-scale implementation of the technology. Another goal of the project is to help develop standards for the budding smart grid system that will potentially link up entire cities’ commercial and industrial sectors.
