Information & Communication Enabled Power Infrastructure

The use of advanced communication techniques to link all aspects of the electric grid together (from generator to consumer) with sensors and smart devices, in order to provide Acting on this Information Will: enhanced operational capabilities that:

1) Engage CONSUMERS with the ability to wisely use electricity, electric devices and new services (from smart thermostats to PHEV);
2) Ensure EFFICENT use of the electric grid (optimizing current assets while integrating emerging technologies such as renewables and storage devices); and 3) Enhance RELIABILITY (protecting the grid from cyber and natural attacks, increasing power quality and self-healing capabilities).Slide 4 Submission <Dr David Hart>, <Elster Electricity LLC>

View of the Smart Grid

There is no single definition of Smart Grid
Many define Smart Grid from 50,000 feet

Smart Grid
Includes aspects of transmission, distribution, generation, and inhome devices Includes many technologies such as SCADA, AMI, Demand Response, Distributed Generation, Smart Sensors, Distributed Intelligence

AMI is a key part of the Smart Grid but not the only part
Large effort on leveraging AMI for the Smart Grid

Partnering and Interoperability will be a must for the smart grid.

Partnering with utilities, standards groups, and key technology partners to realize components of the smart grid

Smart Grid Benefits Utilizing AMI

Outage/Restoration Detection & Fault Location
Opportunity - Improve outage notification, restoration indication and fault location

Loss Detection
Opportunity Losses are difficult to detect on the distribution network

Volt/VAR monitoring and control

Opportunity Provide communications out to feeders

Load Flow / State Estimation

Opportunity Distribution load flows are typically based on substation data and distribute loads based on transformer rating

Power Quality Monitoring

Opportunity Provide power quality and voltage monitoring at key points in the distribution network

Outage Indices monitoring and calculation

Opportunity Outage data may be manual, or estimated

Standards
Standards should enable future functionality of the Smart Grid - need to go beyond where we are today
Better, stronger, faster

Global standards are needed

Multinational issue

Need to be robust
Electric Meters field life of 15-20 years Water Meter Modules + battery field life of 15-20 years Gas Meter Modules + battery field life of 15-20 years
