Transforming our grid for a better energy future
What is 电网现代化?
对于PSE, it means taking a holistic approach to updating 和 improving our infrastructure to create a grid that's reliable, 有弹性的, 聪明灵活. 最重要的是, it also needs to be safe 和 designed to meet our customers' unique energy needs 和 expectations.
The process for creating a modernized grid means investing in new equipment, installing new software 和 communication platforms, testing 和 deploying new technology, 和 empowering customers with tools to make their own energy choices. Some of our grid modernization programs, like Distribution Automation 和 需求响应, utilize smart technology, while others provide structural improvements 和 support the overall health of our delivery system.
TOGETHER, we're creating a better energy future.
To be our customers’ clean energy partner of choice, PSE needs a grid that is:
安全: 安全 for the public, our workforce, 和 environment continues to be PSE’s top priority.
可靠: To decrease the amount 和 impact of power outages. This involves identifying asset health, proactively anticipating 和 mitigating failures/outages, 和 performing targeted maintenance.
减震: So our region recovers more quickly from extreme weather events 和 other emergencies. This involves hardening the system to minimize damage 和 adding adaptive elements allowing for quick 和 localized recovery from disruptions.
聪明的 & 灵活: Adding intelligence to the electric system allows for more automation 和 technology to save energy 和 improve customer experience. This also increases the electric system 和 business flexibility which empowers customers to control their energy choices based on cost, 碳, or other preferences 和 enables advanced operational options.
清洁: Enabling the rapid 和 equitable integration of distributed energy 资源 和 other green technologies.
