The electric power industry itself is the largest user of electricity. EPRI is working with a number of leading utility organizations to explore and research ways to reduce delivery losses in transmission. As part of this effort, Distribution Green Circuits is identifying and implementing a variety of distribution efficiency options and evaluating their effectiveness by comparing the results with previously established baselines. EPRI’s Transmission Efficiency Initiative has the same objectives but focuses on transmission. |

Advanced sensor technology could change the way in which the power delivery grid is operated by moving from a deterministic approach to a probabilistic approach based on sensor information. Utilities may be able to extend the life of existing power generation and delivery assets via improved knowledge of their condition. |
