1 Road Map to Grid Modernization APIC, University of Alberta May 5 th, 2016 Presenter: Chris Chapelsky, MSc., P.Eng. Operations 1 Engineer

2 About EPCOR Water & Power Transmission & Distribution in Edmonton Edmonton Power Corporation -> EPCOR Regulated & Non-Regulated businesses 2

3 About Me MSc., University of Alberta P.Eng. Before EPCOR: Power Electronic Circuits, Circuit Design, Machine Drives, Energy Storage, EM Coupling, Grounding EPCOR: RFI, Distribution Automation, ADMS, Operations. 3

4 Electric Facilities 28 Substations 284 Feeders 370,000+ Customers Dist. Service Levels: 5kV, 15kV, 25kV 4

5 Today s Topic Grid Modernization EPCOR 10 Years Ago Paper & CAD everything Manual, as needed modeling Ops based on estimations from circuit head SCADA Fault Finding by surveying line / local indicators SCADA limited to substations / feeder heads Age or failure based Asset Management (lagging) Big Wires 5

6 Today s Topic Grid Modernization EPCOR 10 Years Ago Paper & CAD everything Manual, as needed modeling Ops based on estimations from circuit head SCADA Fault Finding by surveying line / local indicators SCADA limited to substations / feeder heads Age or failure based Asset Management (lagging) Big Wires The Path we are on Electrically connected GIS Automatic model export Electrically validated switching plans Optimized feeder configurations Wide deployment of SCADA Life-Story or conditional based asset management Efficient deployment of field resources and capital Big Data 6

7 What are we doing to get there? 7

8 Technologies - In the past 10 years SA & IEEE Start: 2009 Integration with SCADA 61850: 2012 (Station Bus) Common protocol for monitoring, control, and protection in Substations 12 Sites Groundwork for expansion into the grid 8

9 Technologies - In the past 10 years Distribution Automation (FLISR) Start: 2007 Peer-peer distributed intelligence Integrated with SCADA 1.5 / 2.5 switch / feeder scheme Ad-hoc build-out of RF comm. mesh 30 Feeders, 7 subs 11% 9

10 Technologies - In the past 10 years Remote Fault Indicators False Start: 2008 Restart in 2011 Self-contained unit which clamps to line, self-powered SIM remote reporting to server integrated with SCADA 600+ in deployment in over 200 locations 10

11 Technologies - In the past 10 years Electrically Connected GIS Launch: 2011 Fully connected asset record of electric system Access from the field Export to other systems 11

12 Technologies - Now ADMS DMS/OMS Operations Geographic + SLDs Simulation + Training SCADA Upgrade Advanced Apps 12

13 Technologies - Now AMI Smart Meters MDMS min / 1hr Load intervals City-wide RF Network 13

14 Technologies Some Things in the Plans Integrations Enterprise System with ADMS Condition Based Asset Management Huge Data Storage Requirements AMI with ADMS Last Gasp & Meter Ping Load Shaping in Model AMI RF with SCADA Wide Coverage & Common Infrastructure Easier to Expand Remotes Advanced Tech Energy Storage & Dist. Energy PV & Electric Vehicles Voltage Profile Optimization Advanced Medium V. Tech. Solid Dialectric & Vacuum Load Shaping in Model More Remotes Wide SA and DSCADA Process Bus in Progress Downtown Network Relays More Automated Control 14

15 Studying the Issue: Distributed Energy Systems Collaboration between EDTI and ECE Assessment and Mitigation of the Impacts of Distributed Generation on Urban Utilities Prof. Ing. Petr Musilek, Ph.D., PEng Prof. Hao Liang, Ph.D. Prof. John Salmon, Ph.D., PEng 15

16 What does this mean? Let s look at the old way of doing things 16

17 Faulted Circuit (10 years ago) Fuse Blow Calls from customers Line truck dispatched to mid-circuit area Internal memo / outage notification Patrol / check fault indicators to locate damage Switching to Isolate Restoration / Repair, backup feeder maybe overloaded Calls are still coming in Customer result: Lots out ~45min, a handful for repair (1-2 hrs). Paper record of repair -> drawing backlog Queue for outage report 17

18 Faulted Circuit (potential future) Fuse Blow AMI last gasp reports all outaged customers to OMS OMS issues alert to system operator and internal pool of recipients DA and RFI report passage of fault to DMS and operators through SCADA DMS pinpoints fault location to correct circuit branch, and within 200m DMS possibly uses DA devices for FLISR through SCADA, restoring 50-75% of circuit in less than 120 min. DMS issues recommended switching plan to further isolate damaged equipment Control sends trouble directly to site to confirm damage & begin local isolation Calls are starting to come in DMS suggests feeder re-organization to balance load on remaining feeders, executed through SCADA remote switching by operators Field Repair proceeds DMS suggests optimal switching for feeder return to normal Customer result: Some out for <60sec, some out for ~20min, and a some out for repair (1-2 hrs). Outage report, statistics, and logging all automatically captured. Fault scenario can be replayed for analysis, training, or audit. Stressed components are captured by asset management system integrated with ADMS, and follow action can be taken to mitigate future potential outages 18

19 But wait. Technology isn t everything. You have to build your organization to succeed. Technology changes go hand-inhand with business and organization changes. 19

20 Business Transformation You need different skills than 10 years ago. Ex: GIS modelers More than Civil / Electrical Engineers SCADA, Comms, and analyst skills can be a big gap. You need operational excellence. Silos don t work Define and follow our processes Skills and training Fully utilize the benefits of these technologies 20

21 Transformations at EPCOR Many business units have been rebuilt New leadership focused on Operations Skills assessment Procedures Some Challenges Knowledge transfer Training: new staff and transfer of existing staff Identifying and acquiring new skills Integrating processes and technologies for maximum benefit Keeping everything else rolling 21
