The City of Leesburg's (Leesburg's) Smart Grid Investment Grant project involved city-wide deployment of advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), installation of new customer systems, and expansion of distribution automation (DA) capabilities. Leesburg enacted a consumer education program to help customers fully exploit the new devices and the energy usage information they provided. The project also automated and increased the efficiency of portions of the electric distribution system through deployment of automated voltage capacitors, intelligent electronic device (IED) controls located in new and existing feeder breakers, and automated field reclosers. A system-wide coordination and sectionalizing study was also performed.
