Voltage Monitoring
|
GOAL: For the SmartGridCity™ pilot community in Boulder, Xcel Energy required a method of mapping energy usage trends to help C&I customers optimize consumption. In addition, Xcel wanted to provide Demand Response incentives to customers to reduce energy usage during peak demand, capture tax incentives by reducing their carbon footprint, support their large-scale intermittent renewable generation initiatives (solar panels, etc.), enable real-time notifications of power outages to Xcel Energy dispatch teams to ensure on-site power quality, and monitor voltage levels in power provided to customers to ensure that they meet regulatory standards. SOLUTION: A3, SENTINEL, and kV2c SmartMeters, SSI Data Acquisition System, and the GPRS network. RESULT: The SmartSynch solution is being deployed on the University of Colorado campus, on municipal buildings, and on select C&I buildings in the city. This will enable Xcel to extend the benefits of SmartGridCity to their larger customers and give them the opportunity to manage their energy consumption, reduce CO2 emissions and take advantage of pricing benefits. Xcel can also receive power-outage notifications and ensure that voltage quality standards are met for these customers in real-time.
