Case Study: SGS’s Impact on Energy Management

Utility Company ABC, a regional electricity provider, faced challenges in integrating an increasing number of rooftop solar installations into its grid. The intermittent nature of solar generation was causing grid instability and voltage fluctuations, impacting grid reliability and power quality.

SGS implemented its ANM solution for Utility Company ABC to actively manage distributed solar generation in real-time. ANM dynamically adjusted power flows, diverting excess solar energy to nearby consumers or energy storage systems during peak generation periods. This optimized grid performance, reduced the need for curtailment, and ensured stable grid operations.

As a result of the ANM deployment, Utility Company ABC experienced a significant improvement in grid stability and power quality. The successful integration of solar generation led to reduced carbon emissions and enhanced customer satisfaction. Moreover, the utility was able to defer costly grid upgrades, resulting in cost savings and improved overall grid planning.
