System Load Management<br />

The current methods <strong>of</strong> identifying and assessing distribution system<br />

loading is labor intensive and <strong>of</strong>ten reactionary, in response <strong>to</strong><br />

equipment failures/outages.<br />

PECO’s <strong>AMR</strong> System can provide accurate cus<strong>to</strong>mer load data.<br />

The data can be aggregated throughout <strong>the</strong> distribution grid <strong>to</strong> determine actual device<br />

loading.<br />

The need for load models is eliminated, actual cus<strong>to</strong>mer data is used.<br />

By leveraging <strong>the</strong> capabilities <strong>of</strong> PI, <strong>the</strong> analysis process is streamlined and more<br />

effective.<br />

Benefits<br />

Overloads and failures can be identified before <strong>the</strong>y cause an outage and <strong>the</strong>n problem<br />

can be corrected.<br />

Reliability is increase and cus<strong>to</strong>mer satisfaction is improved due <strong>to</strong> fewer outages and<br />

impact from construction projects<br />

Future Plans<br />

This project will run through September 07, benefits and results will be compiled in<strong>to</strong> a<br />

formal business case<br />

Pending positive results, <strong>the</strong> pilot will be expanded and made permanent<br />
