Central Lincoln People's Utility District
Abstract
As part of their Smart Grid Team 2020 Project, Central Lincoln People’s Utility District (Central Lincoln PUD) deployed advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), a meter data management system (MDMS), an AMI‐enabled web portal, an outage management system (OMS), and distribution automation (DA) assets. The AMI component of the project included system‐wide installation of smart meters and deployment of communications infrastructure to support the AMI data transfer. DA upgrades included deployment of an enhanced supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system; automated distribution feeder controls, regulators, monitors, and fault indicators; and an upgraded fiber optic cable network.Contact Information
