Collaboration among local and national stakeholders formed the cornerstone of IPL's efforts, funded in part by a $20 million grant from the US Department of Energy (DOE). Area transportation and electrical models developed jointly with Purdue University to assess potential electrical system impacts will be shared. Soller will also discuss the Smart Grid challenges to date and future opportunities related to the usage of Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment in customer facilities and public locations.
Building and Managing a Smart Grid
- 1:30 p.m.
- 1 PDH and CEU Available
- Join us for a presentation by Barry Feldman, Indianpolis Power & Light (IPL) that will detail plans to enable two-way communication with devices from power plants to customers' homes through a "Smart Grid" project for Indianapolis, funded in part by a $20 million grant from the US Department of Energy (DOE). IPL is in the process of implementing automated devices to monitor and operate the electrical grid remotely to optimize the system and restore outages more quickly. Learn about capacitor bank controls, reclosers, cyber security measures and new Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems. In addition, IPL will describe plans to provide energy information for customers on a one-day delay basis to help customers manage their initial energy costs.
