The City of Glendale's Advanced Metering Infrastructure Smart Grid Initiative project involved system-wide deployment of advanced meters; meter data management system; use of customer systems and in-home displays; installation of distribution automation equipment systems; enterprise computers systems, including outage management/distribution management system, enterprise service bus, conservation voltage reduction system, meter data analytics system; and management of distributed energy storage. The project implemented secure wireless communications (1) to allow customers to view their electricity consumption through web portals on mobile devices and in-home displays 24 hours a day, and (2) to provide Glendale with the ability to manage, measure, and verify targeted demand and voltage reductions during peak periods. In addition to the AMI deployment, Glendale upgraded selected feeders with distribution automation equipment to improve operational efficiency as well as system reliability.
