Profile:S&C Electric Canada Ltd. provides innovative products and services that utilize Smart Grid technologies to improve power quality and reliability.  The S&C Electric IntelliTEAM II® Automatic Restoration System is the primary enabler of Burlington Hydro’s award winning deployment of switching automation technology which virtually eliminates outages in the downtown core.

IntelliTEAM II®  enables intelligent switches and fault-interrupting devices to communicate with each other, locate faults on the system, and route power safely around them. This unmatched self-healing capability allows the grid to repair itself, limiting the duration of power loss that a customer might experience to seconds, versus minutes or even hours.

In the same way, IntelliTEAM II can identify power sources such as wind generation or solar power that are coming on-line, and, based on parameters established by utility engineers, switch to these preferred energy sources.

S&C provides engineering expertise and power products to seamlessly integrate renewable energy sources into the power grid. S&C’s Smart Grid Storage Management System™ can store energy generated during low-demand periods by renewable generation sources such as wind. By delivering this stored energy back into the grid during peak demand hours the system reduces the utilities’ dependence on gas-fired turbines and thus helps to minimize the city’s carbon footprint.

S&C Electric maintains it Canadian headquarters in Etobicoke with a staff of 300.  S&C Electric Company also has subsidiaries in Mexico, Brazil, China, and the United Kingdom.
