Portion of distribution system with SCADA prior to SGIG/SGD program | 0 |
Portion of distribution system with distribution automation (DA) prior to SGIG/SGD program | 0 |
Electric distribution system | % | Description |
---|---|---|
Portion of distribution system with SCADA due to SGIG/SGD program | 100.00% | None of MLGW's electric distribution system currently has SCADA. The project will provide this capability throughout the district that is served by the Network Electric Distribution System. This metric will report the percent of distribution circuits that have monitoring and control capability, measured proportionally as the communication system is extended onto those circuits. |
Portion of distribution system with DA due to SGIG/SGD program | 95.00% | Each transformer's network protector switch is controlled by a relay. All of MLGW's network protector relays will be upgraded, as necessary, to provide communications with the SCADA/DMS systems. This metric will report the percentage of network protector relays with communications capabilities that have been connected to the communications system and, thus, have become functioning components of the SCADA/DMS systems. |
DA devices installed and operational | Quantity* | Description | Cost |
---|---|---|---|
Automated feeder switches | 0 | These switches are not part of the SGIG funding and project. However, this project enables these DA devices as part of a SCADA/DMS system. This project has no impact on the number of these devices deployed in the field, so this will not be reported as a metric for the project. The costs reported for this category will be the cost of installing IEDs that control the existing switches. | $3,938,676 |

AMI | No | |
Outage management system | Yes | |
Distributed energy resource interface | No | |
Other | No |
Distribution automation features / functionality | Function enabled | Description |
---|---|---|
Fault location, isolation and service restoration (FLISR) | Yes | A feature of the new DMS software could calculate the location of cable faults on the Network Electric Distribution System. However, due to current vendor software limitations, this is no longer a viable feature of the project by the end of the grant. |
Voltage optimization | No | |
Feeder peak load management | No | The new DMS system will provide the capability to remotely switch load at the transformer level. This is a new ability being provided by the project. |
Microgrids | No | |
Other functions | No | None have yet been identified, but MLGW will report these if they become available. |
* In some circumstances, costs are incurred before devices are installed resulting in a reported cost where the quantity is zero.
* All dollar figures are the total cost, which is the sum of the federal investment and cost share of the recipient (the recipient cost share must be at least 50% of the total overall project cost).
** In some cases the number of entities reporting is greater than the total number of projects funded by the Recovery Act because some projects have multiple sub-projects that report data. View list of sub-projects.
