ComEd and AMSC have partnered to meet growing consumer demands to enhance ComEd's electric power offerings' reliability, resiliency, and performance.
ComEd is a leading electric utility company that provides services to millions of families and businesses across Northern Illinois. AMSC is a leading provider of megawatt-scale power resiliency solutions that improve the grid. Together, the company's have successfully integrated AMSC's Resilient Electric Grid (REG) system into ComEd's electric grid. REG uses a high-temperature superwire that produces reliable electric power. The principal component of this system is AMSC's protective Amperium ® wire, which will help protect ComEd's grid from extreme weather conditions.
AMSC's REG system is extremely durable against severe weather conditions and offers enhanced grid protection. ComEd hopes to deploy this new REG system elsewhere after monitoring this pilot program for one year.
