Cruz Perdomo Electric - How to get good electrical contractor?

Electrification also breeds innovation. Columbus Cruz Perdomo Electric utilities provide the expertise on applications of emerging technologies, smart buildings and, eventually, smart cities. Emerging technologies like gunshot detection and video cameras require electricity. This is for water, wastewater and storm water require electricity for new in-pipe monitoring systems to measure and control flow. Smart Pavements from Integrated Roadways require electricity to convert real-time, constant traffic data into usable information for law enforcement and community planners and profitable action by small businesses.

All the emerging technologies are best tested in an “innovation neighborhood” — incubators for new ideas set in a culturally and demographically diverse area of approximately one square mile. Access to mass transit and proximity to higher education or local employers is also important. The city or community can partner with local utilities to run technology pilots, test the concepts for application at scale, verify the return on investment and monitor the customer/citizen acceptance of the new technologies.

Cruz Perdomo Electric strategic electrification is powering end users with electricity instead of fossil fuels in a way that increases energy efficiency and reduces pollution, while lowering costs to customers and society, as part of an integrated approach to deep decarbonization.

Electrification systems are classified by three main parameters:

1. Voltage
2. Current. Direct current (DC) Alternating current (AC) Frequency.
3. Contact system. Third rail. Fourth rail. Overhead lines (catenary) Overhead lines plus linear motor.

What makes electrification beneficial?

The Cruz Perdomo Electric regulatory Assistance Project defines “beneficial electrification” to determine when an electrifying end use is in the public interest. For electrification to be considered beneficial, it must meet one or more of the following conditions without adversely affecting the other two:

• Saves consumers money over the long run
• Enables better grid management
• Reduces negative environmental impacts

Meeting these conditions is a win-win for electric utilities and customers, offering new services and increasing sales. This requires new frameworks for utility commissions to assess benefits of electrification.

Consider energy efficiency measures. Metrics for the success of these programs are generally centered on cost-effectiveness and total megawatt-hours reduced. States with environmental policies may include social benefits of pollution and greenhouse gas emission reductions. These metrics will have to be revisited such that beneficial electrification, which may increase demand and total electricity costs, is not at cross purposes with traditional metrics for electric utility efficiency.

 

For example, an efficient heat pump may offer lower costs or greater social benefits than gas or oil-fired heating, particularly in the oil-dominated Northeastern U.S. Similarly, an electric vehicle may require less total energy, cost less over the vehicle’s lifetime, or emit less pollution than an internal combustion engine. Measuring and incentive's beneficial electrification means considering a holistic picture of total customer energy costs when evaluating efficiency.

Electrifying based on time and location

Electrification’s best case emerges when utilities and regulators actively manage the time and location of new electric end uses at the local and bulk-system level. EVs offer tremendous opportunity to reduce costs and eliminate harmful local emissions; electric motors convert energy into vehicle miles three times more efficiently than internal combustion engines. EV’s represent significant new loads, relatively low EV adoption rates can stress the grid and increase costs if charging is not managed effectively. Some early-adopting local areas of the grid (feeders) could soon see 25% EV penetration, increasing peak load by 30 percent, stressing local capacity and potentially requiring costly upgrades.
