3 Introduction Paul Fuge, Customer Services Manager

4 Agenda Introduction / Housekeeping: Paul Fuge, Customer Services Manager The ICCP Application: Bart Teekman, MSTA Solution Designer Infrastructure Design Concept: Paul Dagger, Enterprise Systems Specialist & John Steiner, Dimension Data Project Structure: Graham Long, ICCP Application Project Manager Implementation: Russell Mildon, ICCP Infrastructure Project Manager Post Project - What next? Paul Fuge Q & A and Technical Discussion

5 Why change? What s driving the need? Deficiencies in the existing system Compliance RTU replacement Customer requests Enduring Grid

6 Transmission Tomorrow the Enduring Grid Our new vision requires new solutions. National Grid is required for the next 50 years + TP only one link in the chain. A robust end to end generation, transmission and distribution system required. Greater real-time information availability enables: Better systems operability Enables new technologies Strategic Projects (next 12 months). Variable line rating, Online plant monitoring, Asset management, Transgo ICCP 6

7 The ICCP Application Bart Teekman, MSTA Solution Designer

8 What is ICCP? Standards-based (IEC TASE.2) Used extensively in the T&D sector Allows bi-directional exchange of data & controls Has simple architecture and scalability Provides good native resilience Offers multi-vendor support Allows faster provisioning of new data points Can be efficiently and effectively secured

10 Security is Critical to all Parties All of us must: Validate connecting parties. Protect communications and ensure connections are between the right hosts. Ensure only right data exposed for consumption. Prevent connection hopping between 3 rd parties. Ensure appropriate service resilience. Validate quality of exchanged data. Protect our own environments.

11 Security Model

12 Data Security Servers are hardened and application uses OpenSSL certificates for authentication and encryption of data. Each customer connection is uniquely defined and can only be used by a matched remote counterpart. Quality flags and timestamps can be used to automatically identify anomalous data values in some cases data should be ignored!

21 Project Stages

22 Project Initiation {A previous pilot project set up the trial ICCP connection with Orion} This project commenced early in 2011 Project Mandate is to design the service and roll out to first 3 customers nominated by Grid Development First steps Requirements and learning from the pilot project Concept design very high level design Commercial and technical evaluation of vendor solution options Select preferred vendor solution Develop stage plans and detailed costings Project Brief signed off by Transpower management Finance signed off by CEO 29 July 2011

23 Current Stage - Design Vendors engaged Detailed requirements confirmed 3 Customers selected for Pilot Data exchange agreement being developed Includes Conditions Standards Service levels High Level Design well under way Russell will go into more detail

24 Implementation Russell Mildon, ICCP Infrastructure Project Manager

25 Implementation Who are the Phase 1 sites Method of engagement, Customer input and outcomes Timeline high level Detailed Design - 06 Dec 2011 Build Provision - 01 April 2012 Phase 1 Implementation 10 May 2012 Phase 1 testing completes 16 June 2012

26 Implementation Implementation ICCP with RTU connections Customer, TP, Dimension Data co-ordinate approach Approach Pre and post production testing Rollout schedule to phase 1 customers

27 ICCP Project Pipeline

28 Next steps Paul Fuge

29 ICCP Future Phases Dependant on outcomes. If proven, our intention is to progressively make available to all connected parties (who want it).
