The results from a study of a space communication system for electric utility load management are presented. A definition is provided of distribution control and monitoring functions; associated communications traffic is quantified. A baseline conceptual design in terms of operating capability and equipment is described. Some of the more important factors to be considered in designing a system are examined. Preliminary cost data are provided. Factors associated with implementation along with conclusions and recommendations, are discussed.
