The AEP Ohio gridSMART demonstration project will be deployed to 110,000 AEP Ohio customers in northeast central Ohio and will integrate advanced technologies in the distribution grid, utility back office, and consumer premises with consumer programmes to demonstrate smart grid impacts for consumers and the utility.
John Estey, president and CEO of S&C, said: “We congratulate AEP on this win and are thrilled to be a part of AEP’s gridSMART initiative with our Community Energy Storage System. We’re committed to transforming the delivery infrastructure that will power the intelligent grid in the digital age, and CES is one more step toward that goal.”
S&C’s Community Energy Storage (CES) system will be deployed to certain AEP circuits. The CES system furthers S&C’s ability to integrate stored energy that will be required to create a true smart grid, S&C said.
