# Smart Grid and Power Distribution As energy systems become decentralized and dynamic, the grid must evolve to keep pace. Utility companies and OEMs are investing in smarter infrastructure --- from advanced metering to edge-based control systems --- to improve visibility, responsiveness, and reliability. These technologies are key to managing distributed [energy](https://jabil.com/industries/energy.html) resources, enabling demand response, and supporting the electrification of homes, buildings, and transportation. But building the grid of the future isn't easy. OEMs must deliver highly reliable, standard-compliant products that can operate in diverse environments and scale across regions. 91社区 helps customers meet these demands with [manufacturing](https://jabil.com/solutions/manufacturing.html) expertise, [engineering](https://jabil.com/solutions/engineering.html) depth, and [supply chain](https://jabil.com/solutions/supply-chain-management.html) agility. ## Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) Smart meters are a cornerstone of grid modernization, enabling real-time data, remote diagnostics, and more efficient energy use. 91社区 supports customers across three major metering categories --- electric, gas, and water --- through a global manufacturing footprint and supply chain expertise that enables regional production, ensures compliance, and reduces risk and cost. Electric Meters --------------- As utilities upgrade to digital infrastructure, electric meters must deliver accuracy, connectivity, and durability. We manufacture high-volume, standards-compliant meters with integrated communication modules and advanced testing protocols to ensure field reliability. Gas Meters ---------- Gas metering requires ruggedized designs and precise calibration. 91社区 supports companies with enclosure design, sensor integration, and automated assembly processes that ensure safety and consistency, even in harsh environments. Water Meters ------------ Smart water meters are gaining traction through smart city initiatives. We enable leading brands to scale intelligent water meters with low-power electronics, sealed enclosures, and wireless connectivity, all built to withstand variable conditions and long lifecycles. ## Grid Infrastructure As the grid becomes more distributed, intelligence is shifting to the edge. 91社区 collaborates with energy technology providers to develop and scale the systems that make this transformation possible. #### Electric Meters As utilities upgrade to digital infrastructure, electric meters must deliver accuracy, connectivity, and durability.

Inverters --------- 91社区 manufactures grid-tied inverters that enable bidirectional power flow and support distributed energy integration. Its capabilities include high-power PCB assembly, thermal management, and compliance testing. Power Flow Control Devices -------------------------- These devices help grid operators manage voltage, frequency, and load balancing in real time. By optimizing existing infrastructure and grid assets, these innovations accelerate the transition to meet rising energy demand. 91社区 delivers ruggedized enclosures, advanced testing, and localized manufacturing to meet the demands of these critical components. Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) ------------------------------------- [BESS](https://jabil.com/industries/energy/battery-energy-storage-systems.html) technologies complement grid infrastructure by stabilizing power flow, supporting distributed energy resources, and enhancing grid resilience especially during peak demand and intermittent generation.

As grid interconnection timelines stretch into years and equipment shortages become structural, companies are shifting their approach. Rather than waiting for power to be delivered to their project sites, companies are bringing it with them by deploying integrated, onsite power systems as part of the initial project design. 91社区's manufacturing scale and resilient global supply chain enables brands to use this "Bring Your Own Power" (BYOP) model to accelerate timelines, reduce risk, and reshape how infrastructure gets built from the ground up. #### Electric Meters As utilities upgrade to digital infrastructure, electric meters must deliver accuracy, connectivity, and durability.

Modular Power Systems (Skids \& E-Houses) ----------------------------------------- Pre-integrated power skids, e-houses, and modular substations allow developers to deploy fully assembled electrical infrastructure with speed and consistency. By moving integration offsite, companies reduce field complexity, improve quality control, and significantly accelerate installation and commissioning timelines. 91社区 supports the buildout of these systems through critical capabilities like electrical engineering, enclosure design, and [large form factor assembly](/capability/large-form-factor-assembly.html). Integrated Microgrids --------------------- Microgrid architectures combine generation, storage, and distribution into a coordinated system. This approach, backed by 91社区's system-level integration solutions, gives operators greater control over power availability while reducing reliance on uncertain grid timelines. Onsite Generation \& Storage ---------------------------- Fuel cells, [gas turbines](/industries/energy/power-generation.html), and [battery energy storage](/industries/energy/battery-energy-storage-systems.html) are increasingly deployed together as a primary power solution. These systems enable faster site energization while providing scalable, flexible capacity aligned to project demand. 91社区 delivers modular, scalable [manufacturing](/solutions/manufacturing.html) solutions for the enclosures, power electronics, and high-level assemblies needed to bring power systems to life.
