KIUC selects PCS UtiliData to provide Infrastructure and Communication Propagation Surveys

September 14, 2005

Kaua'i Island Utility Cooperative has awarded PCS UtiliData a contract to provide the AdaptiVolt™ Infrastructure and Communication Propagation Surveys for its Lihue and Kapaa substations. This contract was awarded through the VoltR marketing and sales channel. The Infrastructure Survey provides a detailed verification of substation equipment and its distribution components to establish the work required to deploy an AdaptiVolt™ system. The survey includes an analysis of end-of-line locations to determine optimized voltage regulation levels and the determination of expected energy savings and economic impact that would result from the deployment of an AdaptiVolt™ system at the Lihue and Kapaa substations.

The Communication Propagation Survey of the Lihue and Kapaa substations and the geographical region served by its distribution infrastructure is aimed at ensuring the signal integrity of the AdaptiVolt™ closed-loop feedback system. As such, it will identify all requirements that will ensure a reliable, flexible and expandable communications infrastructure to effectively support the AdaptiVolt™system functionality.
