Co-ops face new challenges in their planning and operations due to evolving grid demands, increasing integration of distributed energy resources, and need for improved reliability and efficiency. Advanced energy technologies for Distribution Automation (DA) offers strategic solution to these challenges by enabling real-time monitoring, adaptive control, and streamlined decision making across the distribution networks. There are many applications of DA technologies that co-ops can use to enhance their energy reliability, sustainability, and resilience.

Distribution Automation Toolkit
A
main product provided by the NRECA's DA Initiative is the Distribution
Automation Toolkit. This Toolkit can be used by co-ops to conduct cost-benefit
analysis of proposed DA project technologies over the expected life of the
investments. The Toolkit provides valuable insights for members to assess the value of DA
projects and facilitate demonstration projects with vendors. (Note: The DA Toolkit is for NRECA members only and requires an Agreement to access. You will be provided the Agreement through the link below. )
