The electrical energy production and transport infrastructure as we know it is about to change. The search for sustainable growth
leads to a more efficient and rational use of electrical energy in terms of its generation, transmission and distribution. In this
sense, a look to the future indicates the ever growing need for intelligent power grids (the so-called "smart grids").
The smart grid revolution
From a consumer perspective, the electrical systems automation enables the power demand management, substantially reducing the
wasting of energy and optimizing the supply system. Among the main benefits the smart grid has to offer, the dynamic demand
management, the distribution assets optimization and the cost reduction to the end consumer are highlighted.
DFchip, in partnership
with experienced and renowned companies from the electrical sector, offers its clients an innovative chip solution, capable of adressing,
with robustness and reliability, the most challenging power and performance requisites for smart grid equipments. The image below
shows blocks that can be integrated into one single chip, increasing the Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) by several orders of magnitude:
