4 AGENDA TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 27, :00 8:30 am Registration & Continental Breakfast 8:30 8:45 am Opening Remarks by Chairperson 8:45 9:30 am Keynote Speech California Public Utilities Commission Applying Safety Risk Assessment to Power System Operations The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) is a national leader in applying risk management analysis to utility operations, to improve safety for utility customers, employees and contractors, and to better inform decisions about utility spending priorities in rate cases. This presentation will describe how this new process is working to identify and mitigate electrical operations risks, using examples from recent rate cases. Arthur O Donnell, Program and Project Supervisor, Safety and Enforcement Division, California Public Utilities Commission 9:30 10:15 am Keynote Speech Pacific Gas & Electric The Ever-Changing World of Protection and Control The electric industry was built with cautious and deliberate steps over the past 100 plus years but now we find ourselves in a wild west where anything goes. We must understand what is driving the change and what this change will do to the wires and transformers, but also the core values of reliability, safety and affordability that were used to create the largest machine in history, the electric grid. We must understand what our customers want, but also provide what they need and therein lays the dilemma. Renewables are replacing large centralized rotating machines and we need new models that can predict how the inverter based power production will impact stability and challenge the traditional techniques we relied on to protect the grid. 10:15 10:45 am Networking Break PG&E in California is in the middle of this change and is seeing an impact to our field teams, engineering applications and business models. We are committed to the policies of the State of California and are finding ways to accommodate the change but we are not alone in this effort. I am confident that the same fortitude of the people that built the industry will once again step up and bridge the now to the end game of this change and technology will be our holy grail. It is venues like that are necessary to share ideas and build collaboration between our regulators, academia, utilities, manufactures, contractors and consultants to be successful for we all know, we succeed as a team. Jonathan Sykes, Sr. Manager, System Protection, Pacific Gas & Electric 10:45 11:30 am Pacific Gas & Electric Distributed Generation Protection Requirements Reflection on the protection requirements for connecting new Distributed Generation (DG) that have been modified to reduce the need for Direct Transfer Trip (DTT) schemes which are costly to employ and difficult to manage.

5 AGENDA TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 2018 (CONTINUED) 11:30 am 12:30 pm System Protection Leaders Panel Discussion What are the Real Concerns with Integrating Renewables? How to plan and operate transmission grid and other generation resources? How to manage additional systems costs with increased penetration? Do we have the adequate infrastructure capacity? Assessing technical concerns Non-wire alternatives Panelists: Arthur O Donnell, Program and Project Supervisor, Safety and Enforcement Division, California Public Utilities Commission Jonathan Sykes, Sr. Manager, System Protection, Pacific Gas & Electric Erfan Ibrahim, Center Director, Cyber-Physical Systems Security & Resilience, National Renewable Energy Laboratory Kirsten A. Petersen, System Protection & Control Engineer (SPACE) Engineer II, San Diego Gas & Electric Srijib Mukherjee, Principal Engineer Energy Industry, UC Synergetic 12:30 1:30 pm Group Luncheon 1:30 2:15 pm Improved System Integrity and Wide Area Protection Srijib Mukherjee, Principal Engineer Energy Industry, UC Synergetic 2:15 3:00 pm Salt River Project Consolidating, Simplifying, and Improving Upon Modern Traditional Distribution Protection, Automation, and Control Utilities are struggling to keep up with replacement programs for their aging infrastructure, especially at low voltages where the sheer volume of existing equipment, and the wide range of vintages that are still in-service, compounds the problem. This presentation describes the top-down redesign approach we have used, as a utility, to achieve improvements in our standard integrated protection, automation, and control package. The one-size-fits-all solution that is being implemented addresses design/construction duration, equipment costs, personnel safety, system redundancy, communications reliability/security, and engineering/maintenance time. Anthony Sivesind, Principal Engineer, System Protection, Salt River Project 3:00 3:30 pm Afternoon Break 3:30 4:15 pm A Layered Defense Approach to Securing Operational Technology Networks Insider and external cyber threats require a layered defense approach to cybersecurity in Operational Technology (OT) networks. This presentation will provide an overview of the National Renewable Energy Lab s 9-layer cybersecurity architecture that relies on sound network hygiene principles, context and signature based anomaly detection and in-line blocking tools for protecting OT networks against both insider and external cyber threats. The 9-layer cybersecurity architecture is truly unique and disruptive because it does not rely on protocol level security or end point security which allows legacy and modern systems to be protected systemically in the OT networks with a consistent level of security across the entire infrastructure. This approach saves millions of dollars in unnecessary upgrades of OT networks simply to improve the cybersecurity posture against fast emerging cyber threats.

Joelle Brown, Manager, TEC - System Control Engineering, Bonneville Power Administration 5:00 pm End Of Conference Day One WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 28, :00 8:30 am Continental Breakfast 8:30 8:45 am Summary of Day One by Chairperson 8:45 9:30 am San Diego Gas & Electric Catching Broken Conductors in Midair SDG&E s Falling Conductor Protection A fallen energized conductor is an inherent risk to public safety or even wildfire ignition. What if it was possible to detect and de-energize a broken conductor before it hits the ground and causes a fault? This scenario can be reality using Falling Conductor Protection, a technology that utilizes synchrophasors on the distribution system. Kirsten A. Petersen, System Protection & Control Engineer (SPACE) Engineer II, San Diego Gas & Electric 9:30 10:15 am Protection System Response to DER DER contribution to system faults and disturbances varies depending on the DER type. In case of an inverter based DER there is very little contribution to power system faults. This presentation will discuss the challenges presented to existing protection systems on the distribution and transmission system with the ever growing DER landscape.
