Analog Devices is collaborating  with the China Electric Power Research Institute (CEPRI) to develop smart electrical grid technologies.

The joint research programme will investigate technologies that will improve the reliability of electricity substations in a smart power grid.

It will aim to identify specific reliability issues, jointly create innovative solutions, hold technical workshops, and draft international standards.

CEPRI is a multi-disciplinary and comprehensive research institute within the State Grid Corporation of China, the largest electric utility company in the world, and a leader in the adoption of smart grid technologies.

The Institute has experience in the area of system application, testing and inspection and power grid operation analysis.
