DistribuTECH 2018
Measuring and metering electricity has been done the same way since the late 1800s and 3DFS has changed that for good. The future of electricity is digital measurement and control. Come learn about the most disruptive innovation in the grid since it started, Software-Defined Electricity.
A 3DFS Power Controller blends real time computing, power electronics, internet technology and artificial intelligence into a unique hardware device that delivers unprecedented control of electricity. Similar to a computer, it requires both hardware and software to operate the immensely powerful real time computing system. There is an innovative energy storage mechanism of action that directly interacts with the electricity as it flows. It makes corrections at the microsecond level in order to manipulate the electricity with precision thousands of times at the subcycle level on each phase.
This action is best described as noise cancellation for electricity and results in dynamically ideal power quality for the entire electrical network at all times no matter the load profile. Digital control of the electricity in an electrical network ensures levels of stability, efficiency and protection that are considered luxuries today but will come standard tomorrow.
Software-Defined Electricity sits at the foundation of the Digital Transformation allowing us to harness more of the power that we already create. It will usher in a new generation of efficiency where we leverage computing and data to maximize our energy efficiency, control our resiliency and truly begin the shift toward global energy sustainability.

Brief History of Electricity Measurement: From Analog to Digital
An analog industry was born
Electrical meters go mainstream leveraging the RMS methodology to measure the amount of electricity sold to our homes and businesses
Business was good
The electrical grid expanded throughout the United States. Its main purpose to was to power relatively static motors and incandescent lights
Electricity use changed
With the invention and widespread use of computers and sensitive electronics, the load profile began to shift
Electricity generation changed
The improvement in renewable energy technologies spawned new markets that produce electricity in new ways, shifting the generation profile.
Old way not working, business continued
50 years of maintaining the status quo while electricity generation and consumption evolved resulted in a gigantic void in available data and corresponding solutions. The analog way of measuring electricity is no longer sufficient if the goal is optimum efficiency and stability of electricity supply systems.
A digital industry was born
3DFS brings to market a new product for and real time digital measurement and correction of electricity, or Software-Defined Electricity ensuring electricity can always be supplied with optimum efficiency.
