Last year at the Distributech conference, we had the privilege to present a presentation on "Using Radios for SCADA, Protection, and System Automation" in electrical distribution systems. The presentation focuses on the use of radios for SCADA, protection, and system automation in electrical distribution systems, particularly those on military installations across the country. The presentation is designed for individuals with limited experience with radios, aiming to expose them to the capabilities and potential applications of this technology.

CLP Engineering, LLC (CLPE) is a sister company of City Light & Power, Inc. (CLP). Since its inception in 1977, CLP has been providing utility solutions and services including ownership, operations, maintenance, upgrade, and construction of electrical utility systems across the country. In 2021, CLPE was formed out of CLP's engineering department to streamline engineering services to our customers. CLPE brings decades of power systems planning, design, operations, and maintenance experiences to provide first-class services to our customers in the Rockies.

As the energy industry transitions from fossil fuel-based energy supplies to more renewable energy resources, localized and distributed renewable energy resources are expected to grow rapidly. Utility distribution systems are also going through a major grid modernization effort where smart grid technologies, distribution SCADA, and advanced distribution management systems (ADMS) are becoming mainstream.
