The purpose of this project was to demonstrate Nxegen's real-time wireless electricity monitoring and load management technologies in selected commercial, industrial, and municipal end user facilities. The purpose of which is to demonstrate the ability for Nxegen's technology to collect real-time electricity data to a central location (Nxegen's Network Operation Center "NOC"), aggregate customer load profiles into portfolios of profiles, and be able to dispatch load curtailment commands from the NOC to individual customer loads to demonstrate the ability to integrate demand resources into the overall electric utility system for the purpose of; (1) improving overall system reliability, (2) reducing wholesale electric generation prices (locational marginal prices "LMP"), and (3) reducing congestion costs in energy constrained areas (southwest Connecticut).
