support the downtown power grid.
the superconductor installment
would enhance the grid resiliency in
the area well beyond its current state.
the substations in the city's central
business district would be networked
to provide extra layers of redun-
dancy intended to protect the power
grid and the power delivery to the
key infrastructure against extreme
weather, terrorism, and other cata-
strophic events.
in grid data analytics and intelli-
gent substations initiatives, a spe-
cial focus is on the role of data in
smart city development. analytics
are the true enablers of a smart
city; they take large quantities of
data and turn them into actionable
intelligence to support the smart
city focus areas. Comed is develop-
ing a few smart grid analytics to
provide situational awareness, opti-
mize operations and asset utiliza-
tion, and offer some insight into the
future. Data analytic efforts at
Comed include ami-based analytics
from more than three million smart
meters for revenue protection, such
as identifying broken meters and
locating unmetered premises, and
to ultimately predict outages before
they occur, helping to ensure that
residents can use the electricity on
which they rely. additionally,
Comed is developing analytics for
its transmission system. smart grid
analytics support the smart grid
installation to increase reliability,
power quality, and energy efficien-
cy. through reliability and efficiency
improvements, data analytics sup-
port the three key focus areas of
smart cities. intelligent substations
support the resiliency and reliabili-
ty of the power delivery infrastruc-
ture, and thus, workability and
livability in smart cities. through its
smart grid investments, Comed is
in the process of converting ten of
its substations to intelligent substa-
tions, which can support the energy
delivery infrastructure in a smart
city and enhance livability and
workability. these new substations
target areas such as airports and
commercial districts to support the
economic development in Comed's
service territory.
through the smart Federal avia-
tion administration (Faa)-compli-
ant lights for transmission towers
project, the smart grid communica-
tion infrastructure is leveraged for
Faa lighting required in overhead
transmission towers. Comed is cur-
rently piloting new Faa-compliant
lights that can be controlled via the
smart grid communication network.
the new lights allow for remote
analytics and control as well as sup-
port the safety of the transportation
infrastructure while enhancing
operations. Faa lights represent an
innovative approach to derive value
from the smart grid investments
and take the smart grid utilization
beyond its traditional uses.
Comed also is evaluating oppor-
tunities to leverage the wireless
mesh communications network to
offer water metering services to the
cities within Comed's service territo-
ry. most Comed customers are
receiving smart meters as part of the
ongoing grid modernization efforts,
so there will be significant potential
in this system beyond the smart grid.
Water metering could allow Comed
to extract additional value from the
smart grid capital investments. as a
smart city initiative, water metering
supports sustainability and work-
ability because it improves the
meter reading process and encour-
ages water conservation, predicts
potential problems such as water
main ruptures and frozen lines, and
potentially reduces water delivery
charges. Comed is currently working
with four municipal water utilities in
northern illinois to use the Comed
smart grid infrastructure for their
customers' benefit.
Community Energy Storage
applying Ders, such as distributed
wind, solar energy, and energy stor-
age, is significant in the transforma-
tion to a more sustainable energy
supply. though wind and solar
energy provide many advantages,
the intermittent nature of these
renewable energy sources poses a
challenge because electricity pro-
duction-consumption is an in-time
process. insufficient storage could
result in energy infrastructure that
is increasingly difficult to stabilize
and requires significant reserves to
guarantee the supply of power.
Community energy storage aims to
store energy at the site of the end
user and use that energy based on
the demand. this boosts the reli-
ability and enhances livability and
workability in a smart city while
simultaneously supporting distrib-
uted generation and sustainability
in energy production. Comed is pre-
paring to install a community ener-
gy storage device in the bronzeville
neighborhood to provide residents
access to this technology.
Air-Quality Sensors
air quality can be a significant prob-
lem in urban environments, affecting
the quality of life for the citizens.
smart air-quality sensors can be
installed to collect air-quality data
in cities and local communities to
increase the awareness of changes in
the air quality. the sensors build a
picture of the air quality for dif-
ferent locations. the sensor read-
ings would be gathered from the field
sensor network and communicated
through the smart grid communica-
tion infrastructure to directly inform
the citizens of any air-quality issues.
Environmental Sensors
environmental sensors are devices
that detect the changes in the envi-
ronment, such as differences in
humidity and temperature. the glob-
al environmental sensing and moni-
toring market is expected to grow at
a steady rate over the next few years.
environmental sensors are used for
various purposes, such as sensing
