Revelo® platform
will provide high resolution data and access to energy management
applications for both the utility and its members
ATLANTA, Jan. 14,
2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Southwestern Electric
Cooperative (SWECI) and Landis+Gyr (SIX: LAND) have signed an
agreement to install a grid intelligence platform for the utility
and its members featuring cutting-edge grid sensing technology and
advanced metering for managing energy reliability and
efficiency.
By deploying Landis+Gyr's Revelo grid sensing meter, SWECI will have
access to a variety of software applications driven by high
resolution grid data to enable real-time load disaggregation,
voltage management, outage management and overall situational
awareness.
"As an independent cooperative, we're responsible for managing
energy supply, reliability and costs for members," said
Bobby Williams, Chief Executive
Officer at SWECI. "We needed better information across our system
to design demand management programs that work for customers and
can utilize smart thermostats and water heaters in the process. We
chose the Revelo platform for the
ability to expand our grid edge connectivity and offer more energy
engagement opportunities for our members."
Additionally, SWECI is hoping to utilize distribution automation
and grid edge applications for monitoring the health of
distribution assets and to assist with planning to lower capital
expenses. With 8 megawatts of solar generation on its system, SWECI
is also looking at integrations with its DERMS platform to help
operate two-way power flows.
"Utilities like SWECI have been instrumental in modernizing
distribution planning and management. The real-time data
Revelo provides from both sides of
the meter will play an expanding role in keeping electricity
reliable and affordable as new energy resources are adopted," said
David Chris, Senior Director of
Distribution Sales for Landis+Gyr.
Revelo's unique features
support a variety of next generation AMI use cases to assist
utilities with flexible grid management, including support for
transportation electrification, distributed energy resources and
circuit level capacity management. More than 5 million Revelo sensing meters are under contract and
being deployed in North
America.
