Substations are critical parts of the electric grid that adjust voltage levels coming from power plants to distribute electricity safely and efficiently to homes and businesses. The substation construction is part of DTE’s broader grid investment strategy that includes transitioning to a smart grid, upgrading existing infrastructure, rebuilding ...
The Bonneville Power Administration integrated a new tool this summer to improve its real-time transmission system monitoring. The Dynamic Line Rating Tool helps engineers determine how much electrical current can run through a transmission line as temperatures change.The project was led by Real-Time Operations, the Transmission Services organization responsible for the safe and reliable ...
The method provides critical situational awareness as the grid increasingly shifts to intermittent renewable power. Hydropower is a renewable energy source directly connected to the grid, providing inertia as water spins large turbines. ...
Department of Energy-funded project, developed a monitoring and analytics application that uses phasor measurements unit (PMU) data streams to provide a real time assessment of the state's electric grid stress and forward intelligence about impending problems to system operators.The DOE funded the $1.2 million collaborative project developed on EPG's (Electric ...
This impressive stretch actually began on March 25, when utility-scale solar, wind and hydropower collectively produced more than coal-fired generation, and has continued for at least 40 straight days through May 3, according to preliminary figures from the EIA's Hourly Electric Grid Monitor. These figures are even more remarkable when compared to 2019's total of ...
The funding includes $7.7 million to finance smart grid technologies that improve system operations and monitor grid ...
Selected were three companies focused on long-term energy storage and grid integration solutions. Each were eligible to receive up to $250,000 in technical support funding that the companies could use to test, perfect, and further develop their technologies as they mature towards market readiness.The first cohort of companies:Electric Grid ...
The funding includes nearly $7.1 million for smart grid technologies that improve system operations and monitor grid ...
Sentient Energy, Inc., a leading provider of advanced grid monitoring and analytics for electric utilities, is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with Exelon’s utility companies to help develop and test its new UM3+ intelligent line monitor designed for underground deployment. ...
This builds upon successful results from National Grid's deployments of Utilidata software in Rhode Island and New York.Utilidata's relationship with National Grid began in 2013, with a smart grid pilot that delivered the company's flagship product, AdaptiVolt, to 16,000 customers across Rhode Island. Using real-time information from the ...
Here are a few of the features: Monitors energy consumption—and so much more—with eight load profile channels Measures voltage minute-by-minute for maximum grid monitoring and performance Features a virtually indestructible design that protects against weather, theft and tampering Supports “software-defined metrology ...
Sea-Lix have recently concluded a test program including endurance testing of the Sea-Lix POGMO and the Hydrospin SWING (www.h-spin.com) turbine units, both platforms for power harvesting for monitoring and communication in water distribution systems. More than 7000 hours of operations were monitored over a range of flow rates and pressures. ...
The 21 high-rise office buildings are also equipped with Advanced Microgrid Solutions (AMS) energy management and optimization software that employs advanced analytics to enable each building to control its demand from the electric grid and respond in unison when SCE signals a need to reduce load on the grid. ...
Following our successful Ontario Ministry of Energy Smart Grid Fund project, GRID20/20 has evolved to now include a services-based model to facilitate accelerated grid optimization achievements by Local Distribution Companies, said Alan Snook, President GRID20/20. ...
By tapping into both hardware and software at the utility and customer levels, these technologies can be layered on top of one another to create a strong and transparent network of how energy flows between the traditional electric grid and the growing ecosystem of distributed resources. Beyond eliminating manual meter reads and disconnects, utilities and municipalities will be ...
The projects will help restore power faster, strengthen the system against adverse weather conditions, and enhance system performance by giving operators the ability to monitor and react to issues on the grid in real time. The proposed projects will particularly focus on redesigning certain distribution lines across FirstEnergy's Ohio footprint that have ...
Aclara's expansion of its international business began with the 2015 acquisition of the electric meters business operating within GE Power's Grid Solutions subdivision as well as its 2016 acquisition of Tollgrade Communications Inc.'s smart grid sensor solution, the grid monitoring platform. The company also has recently opened ...
For the full project, the utility will use the services to streamline billing and better monitor and manage grid assets to serve the city's more than 9,900 residents. ...
The eLTE SmartGrid solution leverages 4.5G cellular wireless communication technology to deliver three benefits: fully connected electrical equipment and the ability to read a massive amount of grid data, data transmission with industrial-grade reliability and security, and measurable smart grid management. The solution will be mainly used in distribution ...
“We are excited to have the opportunity to help strengthen the power grid in West Virginia that will in turn improve local reliability to customers,” said Antonio Smyth, president of Transource Energy. PJM Interconnection, which monitors the grid in 13 states and the District of Columbia, identified the need for the expansion in 2014 ...
