August 6, 2007 – Enersource Hydro Mississauga today announced the successful commissioning of the AdaptiVolt™ automated conservation voltage regulation system at their Grossbeak Substation.  Successful commissioning marks the beginning of the savings verification period, which will be conducted according to the methodology prescribed by Bonneville Power Administration’s Automated CVR Protocol #1.

 June 22, 2007 – Kauai Island Utility Cooperative today announced savings results from the initial verification period of the AdaptiVolt™ automated Conservation Voltage Regulation (CVR) systems installed at the Lihue and Kapaa distribution substations.  View the KIUC Press Release.

September 22, 2005 - PCS UtiliData and Power City Electric of Spokane, Washington, acting as the Prime Contractor, have been awarded a contract to provide Hydro Ottawa Limited of Ontario, Canada an AdaptiVolt™ automated voltage control system for a pilot installation at their Centrepointe Substation. This contract was awarded through the VoltR Energy Technologies sales and marketing channel.

The AdaptiVolt™ system technology couples real-time measurement of voltage at critical points within the distribution system with the ability to adjust substation voltage levels within pre-established parameters. Consequently, this technology will allow Hydro Ottawa to improve the regulation of voltage levels, reduce distribution system line losses and improve customer end-use efficiency through automated voltage management.

Hydro Ottawa Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hydro Ottawa Holding Inc., is the local electricity distribution company in the City of Ottawa. As the second largest municipal electricity distribution company in the province of Ontario, Hydro Ottawa is responsible for the safe, reliable delivery of electricity to more than 275,000 residential and business customers.

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.

May 27, 2005 - Hydro Ottawa Limited has awarded PCS UtiliData a contract to provide an AdaptiVolt™ Infrastructure Survey for its Centrepointe Substation. This contract was awarded through the VoltR marketing and sales channel. The Infrastructure Survey comprises 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, an examination of potential location for capacitors to evaluate the costs and benefits of their use, and the determination of expected energy savings and economic impact that would result from the deployment of an AdaptiVolt™ system at the Centrepointe substation.

MegaComm Industries of Toronto, under a VoltR subcontract will conduct a Communications Propagation Survey in coordination with the AdaptiVolt™ Infrastructure Survey. The Communication Propagation Survey of the Centrepointe substation 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.

April 14, 2005 - Jim Michaelis, PE, one of PCS UtiliData's senior engineers will be presenting a paper cowritten with Big Bend Electric Cooperative’s Manager of Engineering and Power Supply, David Barden, at the 2005 Western Power Delivery and Automation Conference, May 10-12 in Spokane, Washington.  The paper, "Data Acquisition and Control Solutions for Rural Utilities: A Case Study," explores the utility/integrator partnership and the development of Big Bend's Data Acquisition and Control System from early discussions through ongoing enhancements.

March 23, 2005 - Flathead Electric Cooperative awarded a contract to PCS UtiliData to integrate the new Lakeside and Four-Mile substations into the Flathead SCADA system. PCS UtiliData’ engineers recently completed the deployment and commissioning of Intellution iFIX as the HMI/SCADA solution of choice for the Flathead Electric Cooperative.

January 14, 2005 – Big Bend Electric Cooperative Contract. Under its SCADA Consulting and Integration Services Business Sector, PCS UtiliData was contracted to choose, design and implement the initial radio communications infrastructure for the Big Bend Data Acquisition and Control System (BDAC System). PCS UtiliData will also be integrating two additional substations to the BDAC System during 2005.
