U.S. Department of Energy
Sacramento Municipal Utility Districts (SMUDs) SmartSacramento Project involved system-wide deployment of advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) integrated with new and existing information technology systems, as well as deployment of distribution automation (DA) equipment on selected SMUD distribution circuits and substations. The project also involved customer programs and pilots that provide electricity usage and cost information to customers, enabling them to better control their energy usage and participate in demand response. Project scope included a field test of plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) charging stations to assess their technical performance, charging patterns, and impact on electric distribution system operations.
