Session Abstract
2:00 - 2:30 pm EDT
Achieving An Integrated Grid Management Environment for Data Analytics
As utilities evaluate their communication options to integrate distribution automation devices to support grid-optimization software solutions, the value of these applications are dependent on timely, accurate and secure data that can be leveraged over a multi-tier communication network. This presentation is an overview of how an open, standards-based IP network delivers data that helps utilities with information to cost-effectively achieve improved system performance within a multi-service communication architecture, which delivers both AMI and DA applications on the same communications platform.
Several distribution automation use cases will be examined which deliver value through an end-to-end integrated grid to support reliability and operational objectives. Such objectives include Volt Var optimization, asset management, and grid situational awareness which may optimize loads, isolate faults and manage system capacity. This presentation will help utilities evaluate their business investment in the communication network while improving reliability and operational efficiency through integrated grid performance.
Note: For quality purposes, this presentation was pre-recorded on April 19, 2012 for initial broadcast during
this V-Summit. The live Q&A discussion on April 26 will begin at 2:35 pm EDT and go for approximately 15 minutes.
