GRID20/20: HECO grid study emphasizes real-time data for alternative energy integration

A new case study involving Hawaiian Electric is showing the importance of accurate real-time grid data to control the electric grid and maintain its stability as more and more distributed energy resources are coming online. Richmond, Virginia-based Grid20/20, which provides distribution transformer monitoring solutions, teamed up with the Honolulu-based utility to deploy its OptaNode intra-grid sensors in strategic locations around Oahu. The result of the case study, which was published on Tuesday,...
