Older News from EDD

EDD announces the retirement of our light-bulb logo and EDDy, the distantly related unofficial web mascot.  EDD has launched a new website that introduces our new official corporate logo, adds new content and reorganizes the web structure for an improved ease of navigation. 

EDD announces the general availability for a new release of our DEW software.  DEW 10 implements an architectural restructuring that improves performance of core modules and establishes modular compatibility for the Real Time Smart Grid Control Suite. 

EDD announces the general availability of our Real Time Smart Grid Control Suite, a customized set of DEW applications that combines the Integrated System Model with the customer’s smart grid components and control room operations to facilitate improved controls and operational response.  For a detailed conceptual summary, see our ISM Design Plan – Design Overview and Use Cases for Real Time Analysis and Control Software.
