Fault location, isolation and service restoration (FLISR) | No | The autoloop configuration will allow for the isolation of a fault and also determine the location of the fault utilizing a proprietary technology. Overhead reclosers installed on autoloops automatically identify and restore unfaulted portions. Full operation of the enhanced autoloop will involve 24 feeders. |
Voltage optimization | Yes | A software application installed on Con Edison’s SCADA control room system will automate and enhance remote 4kV secondary bus voltage regulation at both the unit station and grid level. The VVC application shall remotely and automatically maintain unit station 4kV bus voltage at a desired value based on station specific load voltage schedules. Unit station 4kV bus voltage regulation will be accomplished through load tap changer (LTC) control. LTCs will affect 620 of 675 4kv feeders. |
Feeder peak load management | Yes | Switchable capacitor banks will be installed to improve the performance of the non-network distribution system by supplying local volt-ampere-reactive (VAR) power close to the 4kV feeder load. Switchable capacitors installed near the feeder load provide the reactive current to the load and reduce total reactive power flow. The resulting benefits include: loss reduction, power factor correction, improved feeder voltage profile, maximized feeder capacity, and deferment of load relief projects. Capacitors will be installed on 285 of 675 4kv feeders on the system. |

* In some circumstances, costs are incurred before devices are installed resulting in a reported cost where the quantity is zero.
* All dollar figures are the total cost, which is the sum of the federal investment and cost share of the recipient (the recipient cost share must be at least 50% of the total overall project cost).
** In some cases the number of entities reporting is greater than the total number of projects funded by the Recovery Act because some projects have multiple sub-projects that report data. View list of sub-projects.
