Business Case Development

Grid visibility supporting increasing solar adoption in Rural Electrical Cooperative

Location:           Vermont, United States

Reference:        Pilot program

 

Problem

  • 40,000 customer rural network. Over 30MW rooftop solar, contributing 60% peak power. Unable to limit customer PV or EV installation or size.
  • No active visibility of power quality and fault detection below zone substation level.
  • 100% AMI coverage, reports kWh consumption on hourly basis with 10-12 hour delivery delay.

 

Solution

  • Edge Zero monitoring provides real time circuit and transformer level capacity and power quality data
  • Scalable pilot program with tailored use cases and KPIs

 

Outcomes

  • Edge data supports dynamic operating thresholds which interface with active DERMS and demand management providers
  • Improved power quality and fault detection
  • Improved customer service and experience

 

Edge Zero Advantage

  • Real time, real data visibility at an asset level enables accurate power quality data and fault detection
  • Actual asset level data rather than deemed utilisation from AMI and grid model calculations
