What is a Smart Grid?

Really, What is a Smart Grid?

• Anything a vendor tells you that Smart Grid is
  (it also happens to be what the vendor is
  selling)
• Anything you want to call Smart Grid (well still
  sell it to you)
• Whatever Congress, the PUC, State Legislature, or
  DOE wants it to be
• Well call whatever were doing Smart Grid if you
  send us cash
• None of the above

Remember Software Projects?
Shh! Heres a secret Implementing Smart Grid
Projects require the same skill sets within the
organization!!!

2003 Northeast Blackout

• August 2003
• Lasted 3 days
• Affected 50 million
• 10 million Canada
• 40 million in U.S
• Eastern US and Canada
• Detroit to New York City and Toronto
• 10 billion (USD) in economic loses
• 3,000 fire calls in NYC alone
• 11 deaths
• 12 airports partially or completely closed

Legislation

• EPACT 2005
• Established a definition for Smart Metering \
  Advanced Metering that included hourly interval
  data
• EISA 2007
• Title XIII established Smart Grid concepts in law
  and first mentions matching grant money for Smart
  Grid investments
• Directs NIST to come up with Interoperability
  Standards
• ARRA 2009
• Provides funding for EPACT 2005 and EISA 2007
  provisions

Smart Grid Functions

• The term smart grid function denotes any of the
  following functions
• 1. The ability to develop, store, send and
  receive digital information concerning
  electricity use, costs, prices, time of use,
  nature of use, storage, or other information
  relevant to device, grid, or utility operations,
  to or from or by means of the electric utility
  system, through one or a combination of devices
  and technologies.
• 2. The ability to develop, store, send and
  receive digital information concerning
  electricity use, costs, prices, time of use,
  nature of use, storage, or other information
  relevant to device, grid, or utility operations
  to or from a computer or other control device.
• 3. The ability to measure or monitor electricity
  use as a function of time of day, power quality
  characteristics such as voltage level, current,
  cycles per second, or source or type of
  generation and to store, synthesize or report
  that information by digital means.
• 4. The ability to sense and localize disruptions
  or changes in power flows on the grid and
  communicate such information instantaneously and
  automatically for purposes of enabling automatic
  protective responses to sustain reliability and
  security of grid operations.

Smart Grid functions (contd)

• 5. The ability to detect, prevent, communicate
  with regard to, respond to, or recover from
  system security threats, including cyber-security
  threats and terrorism, using digital information,
  media, and devices.
• 6. The ability of any appliance or machine to
  respond to such signals, measurements, or
  communications automatically or in a manner
  programmed by its owner or operator without
  independent human intervention.
• 7. The ability to use digital information to
  operate functionalities on the electric utility
  grid that were previously electromechanical or
  manual.
• 8. The ability to use digital controls to manage
  and modify electricity demand, enable congestion
  management, assist in voltage control, provide
  operating reserves, and provide frequency
  regulation

Technology Comparisons

• No single technology or single vendors solution
  will be able to do everything
• no matter what the vendor says!

26
Do Your Homework

• Smart Grids will not give you a good return if
  you have Dumb Rates.
• Put together a cross-functional team to look at
  what you want out of a Smart Grid.
• Smart Grid projects require Executive
  sponsorship.
• Benefits accrue to all departments. Dont put
  costs in one department.

27
How do I know who to work with?

• TRUSTWORTHY!
• Character
• Competence
