Why did Duke Energy select Echelons NES System?
A6 – Duke Energy required an open and interoperable, yet reliable, proven and future-proof technology that would enable its smart grid program. The goals of this project were to build a smart grid based on an infrastructure approach. This infrastructure had to support the programs and applications that Duke Energy provides today (smart metering, demand response/peak management, integration of alternative energy sources, intelligent streetlights, and time of use rates) and be capable of supporting future programs and applications. The NES System accomplishes this by embedding grid intelligence at the local transformer and meter. The system can provide Duke Energy with local access at the transformer for products from multiple vendors to monitor and control the devices in both our medium voltage network and on the low voltage customer network. Q7 – What are the benefits that can be provided by Echelon’s NES System? A7 – Echelon’s NES system provides benefits to consumers, utilities and t
