Quantifying Energy Justice Metrics to Adhere to State Initiatives, Enable Electrification Initiatives, and Meet Energy Justice Goals

As states strive to decarbonize, clean air, and achieve energy justice metrics, transportation electrification is one of the largest levers states have to achieve these goals.

Wide Area Protection Coordination Studies Study Methodology, Benefits, and ConEd Experience

It has been the standard practice at utilities to periodically perform wide-area protection coordination (WAPC) studies. A WAPC study systematically evaluates protective relay coordination using utility-defined scenarios and criteria to identify latent issues that can impact protection performance.

An Analytic Framework for Evaluating the Value of Distributed Energy Resources

Multiple state initiatives exist for establishing non wires alternatives (NWA) and valuations of distributed energy resources (DER), most notably the California Locational Net Benefits Analysis (LNBA) and the NY Renewed Energy Vision (REV).

WASA and the Roadmap to WAMPAC at SDG&E

There is rapidly growing industry interest in the potential uses for streaming synchronized measurements from Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs).

Cost Benefit Analysis for IEC 61850 Implementation

IEC 61850 is a modern communications standard that enables advanced applications to access and process information from substations. This standard defines digital communications protocols and models for application functional information in protective relays and other intelligent electronic devices used in substations.

Smart Meters and Grid Modernization: A Guide to a Successful AMI Implementation

A major component of many plans is smart meters that make up an advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) system. To be a successful component of a plan, care must be taken in the planning, process development, implementation, and integration of the AMI system to ensure the utility’s goals and vision are met.
