After partnering with NISC for several years, EDD is extremely pleased to have now joined the NISC family. This is a great fit for improving service and technology to members of the utility industry. See the NISC announcement for more information.
EDD founder and Chief Technology Officer Robert Broadwater has been conferred the title of Professor Emeritus by Virginia Tech. A member of the university community since 1989, Dr, Broadwater developed a new approach of analysis, known as Graph Trace Analysis, that is now used in the DEW/ISM modeling of electric power systems involving transmission, substations,…
National Information Solutions Cooperative (NISC), an IT cooperative serving utilities and telecommunications organizations worldwide, announced the launch of NISC Operations Analytics (OA), an integrated platform for engineers and system operators of electric systems, which harnesses hourly AMI reads and the granularity of time-series data for better decision-making. The NISC OA solution is powered by the…

Come listen to Steve Steffel, Manager of Regional Capacity Planning – Distributed Energy Resources, speak on Tuesday, January 23rd at 3 pm in the session: Real World Experiences Streamlining DER Interconnection Studies. Steve’s presentation, entitled “Big Data…
EDD’s Dr. Jason Bank (Principal Engineer) and James Tarpey (Executive Consultant) will be presenting at the September 28th WPI Energy Symposium. Their talk will be part of the session: “State Policies Driving Engineering Changes.” EDD provides the DEW/ISM advanced network modeling and analysis software product to electric utility clients. The presentation will center on specific…
At the 2017 IEEE PES General Meeting in Chicago, EDD’s Jason Bank was an invited speaker on the panel Advancing Distribution System Modelling Tools for PV Integration. His presentation, DEW-ISM Implementation at PEPCO: A Model and Data Driven Approach to Automating PV Interconnection Studies, covered results from an ongoing project at PEPCO to automate the analysis of PV…
Pepco Holdings (PHI) has gone live with their DER Hosting Capacity website http://www.pepco.com/Hosting-Capacity-Map.aspx. The site enables any stakeholder to view an interactive map to determine how much renewable energy and other distributed energy resources can be connected to the distribution system. The Hosting Capacity is calculated using the DEW/ISM software from EDD, and the results are…
The University of Tennessee has established the Engineering Research Center for Ultra-wide-area Resilient Electric Energy Transmission Networks (called “CURENT”). The purpose of CURENT is to establish a mechanism whereby the educational and research environment can be used to develop better understanding of electric power engineering and related fields, and simulate industrial innovation. Electrical Distribution Design,…
At a recent NREL seminar, EDD’s Chief Technical Officer, Dr. Robert Broadwater presented to NREL staff on the capabilities of the DEW/ISM software from EDD to model large Integrated System Models of utility electric grids. The DEW/ISM software package is an advanced modeling and power flow analysis solution that is in commercial production at leading…
EDD Principal Engineer Dr. Jason Bank spoke recently at the IEEE Green Technologies Conference in Denver. Dr. Bank presentation was part of the panel session titled “Big Data Analytics for Power Systems.” In recent years, electric utilities have installed and/or connected large numbers of “smart” devices to their distribution systems. These devices have generated billions…
This year, the annual Members Information Conference (MIC) for National Information Solutions Cooperative (NISC) was held in St. Louis from September 7th through the 14th. There were over 2,500 NISC customer/members in attendance. This was the first year that EDD attended. In August, EDD and NISC jointly announced the completion of an expanded DEW license reseller…
