Baltimore Gas & Electric Selects Cannon Technologies' Distribution Automation Solution to Replace Conventional Voltage Regulator Technology.MINNEAPOLIS -- Cannon Technologies, Inc. announces that Baltimore Gas & Electric, a Constellation Energy Constellation Energy (NYSE: CEG), headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland, generates, trades, supplies, and distributes energy. The company operates over 35 power plants in 11 states (mainly Maryland, Pennsylvania, New York, West Virginia, and California) under its operating Company, has chosen Cannon Technologies' Yukon(R) Centralized Capacitor Control software and CBC (1) (Cell Broadcast Center) See cell broadcast. (2) (Cipher Block Chaining) In cryptography, a mode of operation that combines the ciphertext of one block with the plaintext of the next block. 7000 capacitor bank controller to regulate distribution line voltages. The Cannon Technologies system employed at Baltimore Gas & Electric offers an industry best in distribution automation by using real time VAR control to eliminate the need for costly voltage regulators or load tap changers. Baltimore Gas & Electric's substation design uses an advanced voltage control algorithm in Cannon Technologies' Yukon(R) software to determine where and when to apply capacitors to maintain stable system voltages. The design includes Cannon Technologies' communicating capacitor controllers enhanced with failsafe features such as site voltage override for voltage protection and backup modes in the event communications become temporarily unavailable. In addition to improved voltage regulation Voltage regulation The change in voltage magnitude that occurs when the load (at a specified power factor) is reduced from the rated or nominal value to zero, with no intentional manual readjustment of any voltage control, expressed in percent of nominal , the automation of the substation and distribution capacitors will also reduce system operation and maintenance costs while offering contingency operation A military operation that is either designated by the Secretary of Defense as a contingency operation or becomes a contingency operation as a matter of law (10 United States code (USC) 101[a][13]). It is a military operation that: a. modes to improve system reliability. About Cannon Technologies, Inc.
