Abstract
PECO’s Smart Future Greater Philadelphia project included installation of a robust, multi‐tiered communications infrastructure to support deployment of advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) and distribution automation (DA). Over 784,000 smart meters were deployed, as well as a meter data management system (MDMS), a web portal, a time‐of‐use (TOU) pricing pilot, and a variety of DA assets, including capacitor and voltage controllers.Contact Information
