Abstract

The City of Wadsworth's (Wadsworth's) Connected Grid project involved system‐wide deployment of advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) and targeted installation of in‐home displays (IHDs), home area networks (HANs), programmable communicating thermostats (PCTs), and load control devices. Wadsworth also upgraded and expanded its deployment of distribution automation (DA) equipment across 17 circuits, including installation of automated reclosers (feeder switches) and capacitor bank controls.
