Industrial Information Resources Launches PowerCast Live, a New Online Product to Better Serve the Supply Side Energy Market

---

Since its inception in 1983, Industrial Information Resources, Incorporated (Houston, Texas) has been dedicated to providing the most comprehensive, client-driven information services in the world. When our clients asked for total power plant and outage coverage seven years ago, we responded to their needs, and our in-house research staff has been tracking outages at over 2,300 power stations and 8,000 units (greater than 20 MW) throughout the U.S. since then. Now, in our latest effort to meet our clients' information needs, we are proud to announce PowerCast Live, a powerful integrated web-based application that combines our proven research methodology with real time power plant monitoring, through an alliance with Posita Technologies, Incorporated (Austin, Texas), the original patent applicant for real time monitoring devices.

Through a wireless network of proprietary devices (patent pending since 1999), Posita is able to measure the direction and flow of power through transmission lines providing PowerCast Live with real time generation data at key power stations. "Not only do we have a network of real time monitoring devices, but our experienced research staff investigates every outage to determine cause and duration. By combining our comprehensive research with leading technology, PowerCast Live gives energy traders, power plant operators, and regulators accurate, timely, and total coverage of outages as they occur," according to Ed Lewis, President & CEO of Industrialinfo.com.
