This Volume provides supporting analyses and data from the JPL/Boeing Contract, A Study of a Space Communication System for Electric Utility Load Management. The material, (1) presents an overview description of the system concept, (2) identifies and defines the functions associated with distribution automation and control, (3) defines communication system requirements, (4) examines important factors related to formulating viable communication concepts, (5) discusses the relationship of various design factors to utility operating practices, (6) reports the results of the cost analysis, and (7) describes several ways in which the concept could be integrated into the utility industry.
