San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) & Solar Solutions for Outage Management

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Chicago, Illinois, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) August 30, 2011 -- SDG&E is looking to test and deploy various smart grid technologies including energy storage, smart meters, energy-management systems and integrated renewable energy generation in the near future.

The goal of the three-year project is to demonstrate how to maintain reliability in a more complex grid, leverage distributed resources to benefit the community and electric system, enable more active participation by smart-meter-enabled customers, and maintain power-or "ride through" an outage-even when the larger grid is experiencing problems.

Hear from San Diego Gas & Electric at the upcoming 11th Annual Outage Response & Restoration Management Conference, November 8-10, 2011 in Atlanta, GA. Learn about the massive storms throughout 2010 and 2011, including snow storms, session lead by Central Hudson Gas & Electric, and tornadoes, session lead by Alabama Power, and how leading electric utilities overcame these obstacles.

By attending you will be able to listen and share outage stories from the past year to better prepare for further storm seasons. Ensure an emergency management plan is set in place to enhance customer satisfaction during power outages.
