Metropolitan Electricity Authority (MEA), Dpu thailand
MEA, Thailand’s largest electricity distributor, has embarked on a comprehensive smart grid project to enhance grid reliability, reduce energy losses, and improve customer services. The project involves the deployment of advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), distribution automation systems, and a centralized control center. The AMI system enables real-time monitoring of electricity consumption, while the distribution automation systems optimize grid operations and minimize outages. The centralized control center provides a comprehensive view of the grid, allowing for efficient management and response to changing demand patterns.
Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA)
PEA, responsible for electricity distribution in rural areas of Thailand, has implemented a smart grid project in the Nakhon Ratchasima province. The project focuses on improving grid stability, reducing power outages, and promoting renewable energy integration. PEA has installed smart meters, distribution automation systems, and a microgrid control system. The microgrid system allows for the integration of distributed energy resources, such as solar photovoltaic systems, into the grid, enhancing energy efficiency and reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT)
EGAT, Thailand’s largest power generator, has launched a smart grid project in the Bang Pakong Industrial Estate. The project aims to improve grid efficiency, reduce power outages, and support the integration of renewable energy sources. EGAT has deployed smart meters, distribution automation systems, and a smart substation. The smart substation utilizes advanced sensors and communication technologies to optimize voltage regulation, reduce power losses, and enhance grid reliability.
