System Engineers at Southern California Edison (SCE) believe that one way of not wasting electrical energy is to reduce the amount of extra capacity needed in reserve transmission lines. SCE is applying its system engineering expertise to explore how using Centralized Remedial Action Schemes (C-RAS) may save enough additional power to defer building new facilities. By reducing the surplus capacity required of reserve transmission lines, a utility may be able to save or import enough additional power to defer building an 800MW generating facility.  More>>
