Multiple Exelon teams have been recognized for
their contributions enhancing the company’s ability to deliver
safe, reliable and affordable power to millions of customers
Three project teams led by Exelon (Nasdaq: EXC) engineers and
innovators have been selected to receive Electric Power Research
Institute’s (EPRI) 2024 Technology Transfer Awards. These
prestigious awards recognize projects that have incorporated EPRI’s
cutting-edge research to help accelerate the adoption of
sustainable energy solutions.
From hardware and system innovations to planning and analyzing
the impact that more electric vehicles will have on the grid, the
three award-winning teams’ achievements underscore how Exelon is
committed to leading the energy transformation.
“Exelon’s award recipients have not only embraced EPRI’s focus
on using research and technology to solve crucial problems, but
they also demonstrate leadership, initiative and a commitment to
advancing the energy sector,” said Sunny Elebua, Exelon’s senior
vice president & chief strategy and sustainability officer.
“Together, we’re raising the standard for what we can deliver for
our communities – a standard where energy is cleaner, more reliable
and accessible to all.”
This year, employees from Exelon together with Exelon operating
companies BGE, ComEd, Delmarva Power, PECO, and Pepco were a part
of the teams recognized with awards:
DER Network Gateways for Control Integration of Smart
Inverters
Electric companies are deploying distributed energy resources
management systems (DERMS) to make distributed energy resources
(DER) an integral part of system operations. EPRI and a group of 10
companies worked together to identify the functions of DER
gateways. The team developed a DER Gateway Requirements Document,
which lists specifications and applications for a DER gateway,
including hardware platform, operating system, firmware, hardware
security, environmental, communication interfaces, and functional
and cyber security.
Winners: Sean W. Carr (ComEd), Damel Goddard (BGE),
Jeffrey W. Tisa (Exelon)
Fleet Electrification Planning and Assessment for New
Load
A group of companies, together with EPRI, collaborated on a
project to better understand the future needs of medium-duty and
heavy-duty (MDHD) EVs and the electrification opportunity of
distribution feeders. The challenge electric companies face in
planning for this new load is not region- or state-specific,
especially when considering national fleet operators. The study
focused on how to characterize MDHD EV demand and whether the grid
is ready for this load. Results helped identify areas where
under-utilized assets could be leveraged to incentivize early
electrification adopters and to prioritize infrastructure
investments in areas with limited capacity.
Winners: Christopher J. Budzynski (Exelon), James Long
(PECO), Saul Morales (Delmarva Power), Oyekunle Oyedeji (BGE),
Vincent Westfallen (ComEd), Qin Zhang (Pepco Holdings)
RF Monitoring and Wind Mitigation in Fiber Optic Supply
Cables
Exelon (ComEd) sought to understand and quantify the effects of
sustained and gusting wind on their overhead fiber system, as well
as the effectiveness of different wind mitigation methods. Radio
frequency sensors measured displacement and frequency of the
movement on the fiber spans, and the weather stations collected
data such as temperature, wind speed and direction, humidity, and
precipitation. The study provided conclusive data of the
effectiveness of each wind mitigation method. Over months of
monitoring, the study found that air flow spoilers were effective
at limiting maximum conductor displacement. Going forward, ComEd
will standardize these wind diverters knowing they provide a
measurable benefit preventing severe conductor galloping.
Winners: Jessie Bauer (ComEd), Ryan Kelly (ComEd)
