The Problem with Peak
* Instant Supply and Demand
o Electricity must be consumed the moment it's generated
o "Peak demand for electricity is projected to...grow by 19% over
the next decade;... currently committed capacity is projected to grow
only be 6%." The Brattle Group, May 2007
* Must Minimize Peak loads
o Ensure reliability
o Reduce cost of "Spot" market pricing
* Grid Sentry's Smart Grid Sensor can Help
o Greater visibility into the system
o Identify inefficiencies
o Enabling operators to control distribution
o Minimizes the need for peak purchasing
o Drives down overall costs
o Power Quality Measurements
o Answers to load distribution NOW!
Distribution Automation Benefits
* Overall Grid Intelligence Benefits
o Continuous load monitoring
o Improved load forecasting
o Accurate facility planning
o Energy conservation
o Outage notifications (ie, Hydraulic reclosers)
o Accurate conductor temperatures
* Improved Operations & Maintenance
o Load balancing and phase balancing
o Real-time fault detection
o Improved capacity utilization
o Reduce restoration time
* Other Benefits
o Streamlined design
o Environmentally friendly
o Easy to install
o No battery replacements
o Long term solution
* Future Benefits of Product Enhancements
o Reduction in forced outages/interruptions
o Reduced blackout probability
o Transformer failure prediction
o Line deterioration detection and localization
* Security
o Power theft detection
o Detection of terrorist or natural disasters
