It’s win-win for the co-op and for our members.” “We are proud to partner with Duck River and to be working in the TVA territory to enable the utilities in this region to achieve the true potential of their investment in AMI,” said Todd Headlee, DVI’s executive director. “DVI’s EDGE technology leverages the smart grid network for Volt/VAR optimization and voltage stabilization, which leads to a more efficient grid.” This project is an important component of Duck River’s smart grid initiatives and will enable the utility to evaluate the benefits of optimizing their distribution system voltage for the purposes of energy efficiency, Volt/VAR optimization, and voltage stabilization.
