U.S. Department of Energy Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability
The Pepco - Maryland Smart Grid project includes distribution automation, advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), and a demand response program that involves direct load control and time-based rate programs. The AMI installation is designed to provide customers and Pepco with detailed electricity usage information, which, when combined with demand response programs, can help customers reduce their electricity usage and manage their electricity costs. The distribution automation deployment includes substation smart devices, automated distribution circuit reclosers/switches, fault indicators, and transformer monitors that can improve the reliability of the distribution system while decreasing the cost of operations and maintenance.
