Abstract
The Atlantic City Electric Company’s (ACE) SGIG Distribution Automation project is deploying distribution automation assets, direct load control devices, and a wireless communications network. Direct load control devices are being offered that provide financial incentives for customers for allowing ACE to cycle air-conditioners or control thermostats during peak periods. Distribution automation devices, which include feeder monitors, equipment condition monitors, and automated feeder switches improve the reliability and power quality of the distribution system. These systems also reduce operation and maintenance costs as well as distribution line losses.
