Project Summary
As part of the evolution of their grid, Salt River Project required a new communications network for centralized monitoring and control of their distributed power and water systems. SRP selected MiMOMax Wireless to design a private and secure Field Area Network which would provide coverage and functionality for a large scale network of thousands of endpoints across the greater Phoenix area.
The new communications network was required to support:
- Connectivity to multiple SCADA, DER and DA devices;
- Saturation coverage via multiple channels and greater frequency re-use;
- Connection to a multitude of solar inverters to allow monitoring & control;
- Replacement of carrier-based AMI backhaul;
- Greater electrification throughout their service area.
What you’ll learn at the session:
- Hear about SRP’s long-term Grid Modernization Strategy and the importance of the Field Area Network
- Learn about SRP’s approach to build a case for the Field Area Network
- Discover the key factors that guide decision-making for the connected future
- Find out how SRP overcame issues with aging infrastructure and how to turn this into a future positive
- Plus, come indulge your sweet tooth after lunch with beignets, croissants, cookies, and coffee!
