Efacec ACS has been selected by Dickson Electric System (DES) to provide its new SCADA system, including a suite of smart grid tools designed to maximize grid efficiency and advance reliability. DES is a public utility serving 35,000 customers in five counties just west of Nashville, TN. |

The use of CVR will enable Dickson to help lower its TVA demand charges during times of peak energy use, while using feedback from the AMI system to ensure that customer use voltages are maintained within the ANSI C84.1 (114-126 volt) range. General Manager Darrell Gillespie of Dickson Electric System said, “Dickson is a small town with a big commitment to reliability. The new technology allows us to advance grid reliability and deliver consistent electric service to our customers – while maximizing compliance with TVA pricing structures.” |
