In this episode, Tim Locker and guest Chris Kurtz talk about changes and new technologies in the power utility industry. They talked about distributed energy resource management systems (DERMS), which help utilities manage multiple power generation sources like solar, wind, and traditional plants. DERMS determine the most cost-effective source at any time.
They discussed how mergers help utilities achieve economies of scale in purchasing and operations, benefiting customers by keeping rates lower. Time of use rates encourage customers to shift high power usage away from peak demand times, reducing the need for expensive peaking power plants. The growth of fiber optics improves utilities' communication abilities. Chris shared his perspective shifting from working at a utility to being a manufacturer's rep, gaining an appreciation for responsive customer service.
