9 Distribution & Sub-Transmission Legacy Communications National Grid has also remotely monitored and controlled thousands of reclosers utilizing cellular communications that were provided in a hosted, Software as a Service (SaaS), environment. Annual SaaS cost was ~ $400,000 for communication with 1732 reclosers at 70kb/device/month. Analog updates once a week. Binary updates twice a day statically, with unsolicited report-by-exception. SaaS offerings provided to National Grid: Cellular communications Web portal DNP Server AT&T 2G & 3G network, monitoring and maintenance Visibility to the recloser data, event based actions, group notifications and commissioning aid. SCADA interface. The AT&T 2G service was sunset at the end of To maintain communications beyond 2016, all 1732 recloser locations required a site visit to upgrade the hardware and also upgrade our SaaS environment. 9
10 New Hybrid Communication Network Architecture Due to end of 2G service, we had to make a choice: Upgrade existing SaaS environment Take it internal for more control and flexibility Our service territory already has: Existing pockets of private RF infrastructure. Remote locations where RF network buildout is not feasible. The concept of a hybrid connectivity model became critical for sustainability. 10
11 New Hybrid Communication Network Architecture Experience gained through our Smart Grid and Volt / VAr Optimization (VVO) pilots also illustrated the need for a flexible communications model. The model must support various types of communications technologies, as application requirements can vary greatly. Modern network architectures for system critical operations require: Low-latency High degree of availability, reliability, serviceability Security Redundancy These systems will vary in degrees of cost and complexity. 11
12 Private IP Network Overview Layer 3 MPLS virtual private network solution facilitates secure connectivity to multiple hub locations, enabling system redundancy, and failover capability. 12
13 High-Level MPLS VRF Topology This network architecture would allow data from field devices to integrate to both primary and secondary back-office systems (e.g., data concentrators, SCADA, management portal, etc.) Cyber security was a primary focus during the entire network design and was embedded from inception to implementation, complete with PEN testing and validation. New virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) solutions were identified to establish desired connectivity to all required facilities. 13
14 High-Level MPLS VRF Topology High Level MPLS VRF Topology National Grid CNI Site #1 Site #2 Site #3 Data Center Existing VRF New VRF for Access from VSTIGs to Site #1 and Site #2 for New York Reclosers Only New VRF for Access from VSTIGs to Site #2 and Site #3 for New England Reclosers Only Existing VRF Primary Path VSTIGS #1 VSTIGS #2 Secondary Path New VRF for New York VzW Access New VRF for New England VzW Access Each VzW VRF will have a Separate IP Address Pool 14
15 Device Connectivity Both legacy and modern control equipment deployed across the service territory, both Serial and Ethernet connectivity was required. Verizon 4G / LTE Cellular based multi-service connected routers were used to replace the legacy cellular based modems. The router s port forwarding functionality, on-board terminal server, and firewall, was leveraged to simultaneously accommodate both serial and Ethernet communications in a single, secure, package. This approach results in a truly plug and play, IP addressable, solution for any device on the network. These new edge routers communicate through the Verizon Cloud (routed via MPLS) to National Grid owned RTUs / data concentrators located at System Control Centers. The PI Data Historian system is being used to archive operational data for analytics. Currently have 700Mhz system integrated into MPLS/PIP network Currently integrating satellite links to the MPLS/ PIP network for additional flexibility. 15

19 Implementation Challenges Strict risk management policies resulted in extensive time required to implement and test individual network changes. 90+ required network changes Each network change was implemented individually and required a subsequent 48hr window for testing and validation. Limited Staffing level to build and maintain this new network. Training and Documentation New technology (i.e., hardware) required training for all impacted Engineering and Operations personnel. New processes rolled out to all impacted stakeholders. Engineering Protection and Telecom Operations Meter and Test O&M Overhead Operation Extensive reference documentation required for sustainability. 19
