Results from FirstEnergy's ambitious pursuit of distribution automation
March 25 | 2:00-2:50 PM | C2
In this session, hear a case study, objectives achieved, lessons learned, and results from this distribution automation, FLISR, and Volt/VAR deployment. See how utilities can leverage standardized business processes and technologies across their enterprise footprint to improve safety, real-time situational awareness, and quickly scale operations for extreme weather events, and optimize grid efficiency.
National Grid's implementation for fault location isolation & service restoration (FLISR) for reliability
March 26 | 10:00 - 10:50 AM | C140
This presentation will address the successes and challenges National Grid has encountered in deploying its home-grown implementation of FLISR and give some examples of successful FLISR operations.
