Memphis Light, Gas, and Water Division (MLGW) implemented smart grid technology in a network electric distribution system. The installed technologies included new intelligent relays and sensor equipment to provide remote switching at the transformer level as well as vital information to aid in the design, operation, and preventive maintenance of the complex electric system. The project deployed a communications system that facilitates the flow of real-time data from intelligent electronic devices and sensors installed in the field with MLGW's control systems.
