In 2018, Consolidated Edison became the first natural gas utility in the U.S. to install IoT-enabled natural gas detectors in residences to better monitor and pro-actively enhance safety. These IoT-enabled sensors continuously monitor surrounding air levels for methane, automatically sending alerts to the utility and audible alarms to residents when leaks are discovered. Since the project was launched, the deployment of IoT-methane sensors has accelerated with successful results. This session will explain Con Ed’s program and explain how the utility leveraged its existing multi-application AMI mesh network to extend the value of those infrastructure investments.

The fostering and nurturing of young talent is a central pillar of Initiate, whether an undergraduate or postgraduate student or a young professional at the beginning of their career.

Join us for the POWERGEN & DISTRIBUTECH Joint Networking Party, Power Play. Network with your industry peers at our sports-themed event.

This session will review a project focused on the research and development of a HEMS (Home Energy Management System) that allows interoperability between devices from different manufacturers through the adoption of standardized elements and the design of innovative middleware. The project is expected to open and/or help consolidate paths for alternative residential programs that use technology to provide more energy savings and increase customer satisfaction. For utilities, the project is expected to enable demand response and allow real-time metering.

Join us for the Initiate awards, where Clarion Events will announce 3 winners and Duke Energy will announce one 1-to 3 winners from the startup pitch competition.

Taking advantage of new technologies to solve business challenges can be a key differentiator. CapTech partnered with multiple electric utilities to develop an augmented reality (AR) application to improve the customer experience as well as drive efficiency for construction projects in local communities.  The tool had an immediate impact by improving the accuracy of equipment placement, creating alignment between design and construction teams, and further education of the customer increasing satisfaction. Please join us to hear the story of how this tool has helped our clients deliver and exceed their commitments, while also discussing new features and use cases currently being developed for the near future.
