Spot Networks and APS
Date: Thursday, March 28th, 2013
Location: SRP Information Services Building (ISB), 1600 N Priest Dr, Tempe, AZ 85281
Speaker: Bill West, APS
Topic: "Spot Networks and APS"
Bill West will describe the key differences between grid and spot networks. Most utilities connect transformers to a grid, which delivers power to a specific location. APS formerly employed small grids to serve its customers, but has earned a national reputation for reliability based largely on its use of spot networks. A significant amount of the credit goes to our speaker.
