2 Electric Power Research Institute Together Shaping the Future of Electricity 2

3 - Born in a Blackout Founded in 1973 as an independent, non-profit center for public interest energy and environmental research New York City, The Great Northeast Blackout,

4 Dimensions of EPRI s Value Thought Leadership Industry Expertise Collaborative Model Independent Nonprofit Objective 4

5 Our Members 450+ participants in more than 30 countries EPRI members generate approximately 90% of the electricity in the United States International funding of 25% of EPRI s research, development and demonstrations 5

6 The Challenge Safe, Reliable, Affordable and Environmentally Responsible Integration of all Energy Resources 6

7 A Look Back: The Last 25 Years Electronics: Smaller with Increased Performance and Decreased Cost Communication: Increased Speed; Globally Connected Networks and Devices Information: Explosion of Digital Data and Searchable Smaller Faster Cheaper 7

8 Interconnected Startup Power Grid Supplied Power 24 by 7 Electricity Interconnected Value of Grid Connectivity 8

9 Interconnected but Not Integrated Interconnected Value of Grid Connectivity Integrated Value of DER and Grid Integration Enables Values of all Resources 9

10 Integrated Grid: The Vision Power System that is Highly Flexible, Resilient and Connected and Optimizes Energy Resources 10

11 A Look Ahead: The Power System Less Dispatchable, Less Forecastable, More Dynamic, More Interactive 11

12 Power System Transformation Flexibility Connectivity Resiliency 12

13 DER Penetration Feeder Hosting Capacity: A Brief Primer PV Systems Baseline No PV PV Penetration 1 PV Penetration 2 PV Penetration 3 Beyond Process is repeated 100 s of times to capture many possible scenarios Increase Penetration Levels Until Violations Occur voltage protection power quality thermal 13

14 Maximum Feeder Voltages (pu) DER Penetration Hosting Capacity: Sample Results Minimum Hosting Capacity Maximum Hosting Capacity Total PV: 1173 kw Voltage violation ANSI voltage limit 2500 cases shown Each point = highest primary voltage Increasing penetration (kw) No observable violations regardless of size/location Possible violations based upon size/location Observable violations occur regardless of size/location Total PV: 540 kw 14
