Case Study: Consolidated Electric Cooperative achieves SCADA cost savings with SurvalentONE DVR

Consolidated Electric Cooperative pays for SCADA with Survalent DVR savings in 3 years

Consolidated Electric Cooperative, a member-owned utility north of Columbus, Ohio, faced the challenge of manually monitoring and controlling its distribution network. After upgrading its infrastructure, the utility sought a centralized SCADA solution with comprehensive voltage regulation capabilities to increase operational efficiency and eliminate the need to dispatch field crews to adjust substation voltages manually.

The utility implemented Survalent's SCADA system coupled with its Dynamic Voltage Regulation (DVR) product. This solution allowed for continuous, unattended voltage regulation, leveling off the demand curve and conserving energy throughout the entire day. Consolidated Electric Cooperative achieved significant savings, which they state paid for the entire SCADA system installation within the first three years.
