Ambitious, Multi-Application Program Unlocking
Value for Consumers and Raising the Bar for Smart Grid Programs
Silver Spring Networks (NYSE:SSNI) today congratulated customer
Hawaiian Electric Company on the speed and breadth of its
deployment for the initial phase of its smart grid program, which
is now complete. Hawaiian Electric’s comprehensive smart grid
program is leveraging Silver Spring’s smart grid networking
platform to deploy multiple applications atop a single network,
which includes Advanced Metering Infrastructure, Conservation
Voltage Reduction, Distribution Automation, Demand Response,
Customer Portal, and a Pre-Pay Program.
“Hawaiian Electric is driving one of the industry’s most
ambitious smart grid programs and they are demonstrating what the
‘utility of the future’ model will look like,” said Steve Ingram,
Vice President, Global Delivery, Silver Spring Networks. “Using
Silver Spring’s multi-application network, Hawaiian Electric has
also set a new bar for engaging with consumers, including the speed
and breadth of the deployment and how to deploy an array of
applications to deliver value that translates into greater savings,
increased reliability and distributed generation, supports solar
and wind interconnection, and gives consumers the tools to better
manage their energy use today.”
“We are committed to quickly implementing the industry’s top
technology to help the residents of Hawaii save money, experience
improved service, and meet our renewable energy goals,” said Dan
Giovanni, Senior Vice President of Operations, Hawaiian Electric.
“The Silver Spring smart grid platform has proven it will meet our
grid modernization needs today and for the future. Our strategic
partnership with Silver Spring has created new opportunities for
collaboration in the smart grid community and helped us to
effectively manage costs and risks while moving quickly.”
Silver Spring’s smart grid platform enables Hawaiian Electric to
quickly and cost-effectively deploy a wide array of applications on
a single network, including:
- Advanced Metering
Infrastructure: Two-way communication system providing
customers and Hawaiian Electric with robust, near real-time,
detailed information about energy use. It provides the foundation
for the benefits derived from other smart grid applications.
- Conservation Voltage Reduction:
In conjunction with Dominion Voltage Inc’s EDGE™ software, the
Silver Spring UtilityIQ™ Voltage Optimizer allows Hawaiian Electric
to more accurately control the level of power delivered to the
end-consumer, which improves the efficiency of both the grid and
devices.
- Customer Portal: An
internet-based portal available to residential, small business and
commercial customers who have a smart meter installed, the Silver
Spring CustomerIQ™ portal highlights usage in 15-minute increments.
Customers can view their consumption, estimate their monthly usage,
and receive tips for decreasing energy consumption.
- Demand Response and Direct Load
Control Switches: In support of Hawaiian Electric’s growing
Demand Response program, as many as 250 customers are piloting load
control switches with two-way communication and under-frequency
control to help manage demand for renewable energy sources such as
wind or solar.
- Distribution Automation: Offers
increased grid reliability and more rapid response in the event of
an outage through Fault Circuit Indicators and automated
switching.
- Pre-pay: Leveraging innovation
from SmartGridCIS, the program will provide customers with the
flexibility to pay for electricity before they use it, while
avoiding the need for deposits.
Additionally, Silver Spring and Hawaiian Electric worked with
partner Blue Planet Foundation to educate Hawaii consumers on the
environmentally friendly initiatives achieved by Hawaiian Electric
through smart grid technology. Expanded deployment in Hawaiian
Electric’s service territory is pending regulatory approval.
