The Department of Energy (DOE) has selected a Pacific Northwest team including 3TIER to conduct a regional smart grid demonstration project.
The project will test new smart grid technologies including devices,
software, and analytical and forecasting tools that enhance the power
grid’s reliability and performance. The Northwest study will involve
more than 60,000 metered customers in Idaho, Montana, Oregon,
Washington and Wyoming. 3TIER will provide wind and solar power
forecasting for individual sites and for the region as a whole for the
duration of the project.? The company’s hour, day, and week ahead
forecasts will be processed centrally as part of an integrated smart
grid system.
