Description: Dickson Electric is committed to a 10-year pilot program with TVA, mostly composed of voltage reduction and direct load control for system optimization, in addition to advanced meter reading. The pilot program encompasses roughly 5 percent of Dickson Electric's grid, although plans to expand the technology eventually into its entire service territory already are formed. Automating all the capacitor banks in particular will help provide a consistent load profile through volt/VAR optimization and guard against regulatory penalties for falling outside the range for power factor.
