Oak Ridge Lab to Help Chattanooga Utility Use Grid Data to Improve Power
October 23, 2014 /
The Oak Ridge National Laboratory boasts one of the fastest and biggest computers in the world, and conducts much of the basic scientific research that power companies and utilities can build upon to serve their customers.
Since the Electric Power Board of Chattanooga (EPB) installed fiber-optic links to all 174,000 of its customers two years ago, the city-owned utility estimates it has cut power outages by 60 percent, saving local businesses more than $50 million in lost production costs.
