Distribution

Managing Complexity

Growing complexity from demand growth, automated meters, rooftop solar PV, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), demand response and/or energy efficiency programs will increasingly challenge current distribution planning and operational models.

Xtreme Power Provides the Bridge Between the Utility and the Consumer

Xtreme Power represents a large buffer between the utility distribution system and the customer, which isolates the distribution system from the variability of the consumer power usage and conversely, isolates consumers from disruptions on the distribution system. This approach minimizes the need for upgrades to substations and key components of the distribution system. Challenging loads are isolated from other segments of the distribution system, improving the overall power quality for all customers. Each substation or distribution system acts as its own UPS system synchronizing with the grid when it becomes stable.

Xtreme Power Transforms the Distribution Grid

The distribution system is undergoing an historic shift from a one-way power flow mechanism into a two-way power distribution system. The XP system enables this transition of the distribution grid into a highly flexible component of the 21st Century electricity system.
