Elster, Other Industry Leaders to Discuss Operational and Consumer Benefits of Voltage Conservation
- DistribuTECH panel discussion will introduce the Smart Grid Voltage Conservation Alliance, underscore benefits of voltage conservation and optimization -
RALEIGH, N.C., Jan. 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
|
WHAT: |
On Tuesday, January 24th at 12:00 p.m. CST, Elster will join other industry leaders from ABB, Entergy and Survalent to discuss the benefits of voltage conservation and the associated energy savings. The panel, moderated by Pike Research, will highlight how utilities can improve operational efficiency through voltage conservation and the mission of the Smart Grid Voltage Conservation Alliance (SGVCA). |
|
|
|
|
|
Elster created SGVCA in 2011 to accelerate the adoption and validate the business benefits of voltage conservation for utilities through the convergence of Distribution Automation (DA) and Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI). |
|
|
|
|
|
Reducing voltage by four to six percent can result in real energy savings between three to five percent, but most utilities are unable to effectively manage voltage variations due to the lack of voltage monitoring at both the individual meter as well as across the distribution circuit. Leveraging DA-AMI convergence for voltage monitoring, utilities will be able to increase operational efficiencies through voltage conservation while extending the capabilities and advantages of AMI. |
