Smart Grid

Grid Communications Infrastructure: Fiber, Wireless, and Networking Technologies

Reliable and secure communication infrastructure is essential to the safe and efficient operation of the modern power grid. As utilities transition to digital substations, integrate distributed energy resources (DERs), and deploy real-time monitoring systems, the need for robust, scalable grid...

Protecting Smart Grid Electronics

Properly selecting outdoor enclosures to increase reliability BY ERIN BRESNAHAN, Purcell Systems The largest deployments of a utility’s communications system tend to occur in areas with little supporting infrastructure other than the transmission and distribution lines, and much of this...

Grid Modernization

Moving Smart Grid to the Field

Ben Franklin famously said, “If you fail to plan, you’re planning to fail”. This saying certainly holds true for Smart Grid deployments, which can cost utilities several hundred million dollars. Given these high stakes, effective planning is essential. Many North American electric utilities...

Demand Response

The Demand Response Revolution

For decades, utilities have been deploying demand response to achieve a variety of load shaping objectives, most notably peak reduction in response to grid conditions. Since their inception in the 1990s, independent system operators (ISOs) and regional transmission organizations (RTOs) have also...

Enabling Smart Grid Volt/VAR Control

Optimizing power flow using a distribution model

BY TIM TAYLOR, Ventyx

Today’s emphasis on implementing energy efficiency programs and limiting peak demand growth has driven renewed interest in the most effective method to implement Smart Grid volt-ampere reactive control, or Smart Grid volt/VAR control, on distribution systems. This includes the implementation of conservation voltage reduction (CVR), in which the system demand is reduced through controlled reduction in operating voltage at customer load points....
