Closing the loop on grid-edge visibility.
I
N THE RECENT HISTORY OF ELECTRIC
utilities, the potential to have visibility of
the grid edge is gaining significance for
the reliable planning and operation of a
clean energy smart grid. Before the
recent large-scale customer adoption of distributed
energy resources (DERs), distribution networks were
planned with a simpler fit-and-forget philosophy. The
importance of customer-sited DERs to achieve climate
change goals marks a major shift for utility operations.
Changes to traditional fit-and-forget planning paradigms
require better availability of grid-edge data. Smart
metering is an enterprise-wide tool that is enabling visibility
when and where it has been most needed. As of
2020, the rollout of smart metering, or advanced metering
infrastructure (AMI), had reached more than
100 million meters in the United States, and nearly half
of all electricity customers are now equipped with a
smart meter (Figure 1). Smart meters are quickly becoming
a ubiquitous data capture feature of smart grids. AMI
enables utilities to record and measure electricity usage
and power-flow metrics at a minimum of hourly intervals
and at least once a day. At a minimum, AMI enables
interval metering, automatic meter reading enabling
