“Each fall at its annual meeting, AEIC presents its prestigious Achievement Awards to those members who have clearly demonstrated significant contributions to advancing the operations of the electric energy industry.”

The Alliance to Save Energy held its thirty-first annual Stars of Energy Efficiency Awards Gala on September 19 at the Spy Museum in Washington, D.C.

Avangrid, a member of the Iberdrola Group, hosts its Digital Summit each year and invites technology leaders from around the country to its Connecticut headquarters to showcase the latest digital solutions for the energy section.

PUF held its inaugural Fortnightly Top Innovators 2023 conference October 10-12 at the historic Willard Hotel.

The PUF team honors 17 individual innovators or teams of innovators, in categories such as reliability, transmission tech, and grid ops.

“Operating in an underground environment is different. The equipment must be rated differently, must be able to function in fully submerged environments, and be reliable to do that, so this equipment was built with that idea in mind.”

“We have several of our distribution feeders that are a hundred percent connected solar on the distribution feeder. Today, we don’t have any way of energy management on the distribution feeder, so the battery storage will enable us to do energy management on those distribution feeders.”

“The goal of this testing is to enable newer projects by looking at signals and controlling devices such as relays for when we want to interconnect DERs onto our grid and see how they would impact our systems.”

“The most rewarding part has been the partnerships and leadership role PSE has taken. We wanted this Clean Buildings Law to be successful – so many of us in Energy Efficiency are here because we are trying to help save the planet – and reducing GHGs in buildings is one of the reasons.”

“We started with idle mitigation systems because EV options are limited on medium and heavy truck chassis. With the aggressive goals we have by 2025 and 2030, we had to find another way to achieve those targets and the idle mitigation systems count toward the goals.”
