Company Overview
The NSTAR Electric & Gas Corporation Smart Grid Demonstration Project (2) is a United States Department of Energy Smart Grid Demonstration Project which is based in Westwood, Massachusetts.
Project Overview
Demonstrate the use of advanced sensors and monitoring instrumentation on low voltage (secondary) networks in downtown Boston to improve grid reliability and safety. The project will provide additional visibility for operators, which will increase the system's capacity to integrate on-site energy technologies, such as solar photovoltaic energy systems, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles or battery storage. Knowledge gained from this demonstration will lay the groundwork for the broad application of smart grid and on-site energy generation programs for secondary area network grids in large urban areas such as New York City, Philadelphia, Chicago and Los Angeles.
