Advanced Control Systems™ Customer Conference Keynote

ATLANTA, May 4, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Advanced Control Systems (ACS), a global provider of smart grid automation technology, announced that energy industry veteran Kevin Sullivan, new Chief Executive Officer, will share his  expertise with ACS customers during the 37^th User Group Conference in Atlanta, May 3-7^th at the Ravinia Hotel & Conference in Marietta, Georgia.  Utility customers all over the world will not only learn from speakers and workshops but will attend product and Advisory Board updates, vendor showcases and a publicly held celebration acknowledging ACS industry firsts over the last 40 years in product and systems, including advanced software technology that enables real-time information management and network control. 

"The key challenges for our global energy industry," said CEO Kevin Sullivan, "as it undergoes transformation towards a sustainable energy supply and delivery business, is to gain precise control of the distributed energy resources at the edge of the grid. The traditional model of "generation follows load" is no longer sustainable given the variability of supply and changing load characteristics. Balancing supply and demand at the feeder level in real-time is the key to strengthening energy supply and distribution. Our purpose is to place real-time information and control in the hands of our customers with our Precision Real-time Information System Management (PRISM)™ technology.

"We are happy to celebrate over 40 years of innovation in providing leading edge technologies to our customers, but more importantly, the future holds exciting opportunities to influence emerging utility business models with our technical expertise and leading customer service," said Kevin O'Hara, Executive Vice President Strategy, Sales & Marketing.
