Carolina Power and Light believes that the technology and economics favor automated distribution. It is testing the concept and hardware in a large-scale demonstration it undertook jointly with Westinghouse. The demonstration equipment will serve rural, urban commercial, and urban industrial customers, with metering by two-way transponders that will transmit consumption, demand, and load survey information daily. Random reliability ranges form 98-100%, but overall system reliability is about 85%. The system will lower distribution costs and could cut 10% from distribution losses, while installation costs will be cut in half. The demonstration should identify the most economical installations. 1 table.
