Smart Future Greater Philadelphia
Abstract
PECO’s Smart Future Greater Philadelphia project includes deployment of advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) and distribution automation assets. AMI supports new electricity pricing programs for customers and pilot programs, such as in-home devices that provide energy information and energy usage control. Distribution automation helps PECO improve service to customers and reduce energy loss by managing circuit voltages. These systems help PECO improve operational efficiency and service quality for customers.
