CV Experience Alternatives to T&DUpgrades
T&D Alternatives • Southern Loop after Chester Londonderry • Rate Design • Special Contracts • Targeted DSM • T&D lite –var support; new transformer • Southern Loop Next • Dynamic VAR support for reliability • DR/T (Energy Efficiency/Load Control/Generation) for capacity
Alternatives Cost/Availability • Top Down Analysis (location, location, location;DSM least-cost) • Load Flow • DSM (Collaborative Screening Tool) • DG (Rough Cost Estimates) • Is all available DSM sufficient? • If not, add DG • Next Steps – detailed DR assessments
