1 Efficient Building Systems Utility Communications Internet Renewables PV Consumer Portal & Building EMS Advanced Distribution Dynamic Metering Control Operations Interface Systems Control Plug-In Hybrids Smart Distributed End-Use Data Generation Devices Management & Storage Consolidated Edison Smart Grid Demonstration Operational Functions Template March 4, 2010 Utility Representative Frank Doherty, Con Ed Gale Horst, EPRI Smart Grid Demonstration Project Manager Vendor Representative David Cohen, CEO Infotility, Inc. 1 Demonstration Focus Highlights Interaction with customers who own generation Examine system and processes to Dispatch building distributed generation as a demand response system Controlling overload conditions Reviewing potential for third party dispatch such as: ISO Utility network operations DR aggregators Integration of Renewable DER sites aggregated on feeder 2

2 Two Key Functional Components Demand Response Command Center (DRCC) Aggregation of resources, including customer-owned Inclusion of DR service providers Reliable aggregation of non-similar resources including buildings and distributed generation Distribution Control Center (DCC) Added visibility into distribution system Additional controls for distributed resources Ties early detection to ability for an early-response in distribution system 3 Envisioned Demand Response Command Center (DRCC) 1 Interoperable system of command centers (DRCCs) Interoperable open protocol Verification enabled Auditable Enable easy addition of devices / systems Provide a gateway between a group of resources (facilities) and the utility operator 4

3 Envisioned Demand Response Command Center (DRCC) 2 Targeted Functionality / Capability Allow utility operator to initiate program calls Optimization of program participation Attainable curtailment Communication with future Distribution Control Center Transmits instructions to each resource Receives feedback / verification 5 Block Diagram - Infotility Con Edison Project SERVICE PROVIDERS New York ISO (NYISO) 3 rd Party Network Wireless Wireless Network CONTROL/OPERATIONS DRCC Web Application GridAgents Web Application Regional Interconnect Infotility/Innoventive Demand Response Control Center (DRCC) Con Edison Control Operations Public Internet/Intranet Internet Service Provider GridAgents DER Backup Generator WAN Backhaul WAN Distribution Access Point Neighborhood Area Network (NAN) Smart Meter SmartSynch Wireless Opto-22 Building EMS Grid-Scale Distributed Energy Resources (DER) Networks Transmission Substation Network Hotspot Distribution Substation Network Hotspot Feeder DER Microgrid Network Transformer VDAMS Workforce Mobile Network CUSTOMER TRANSMISSION DISTRIBUTION Generic P2030 Actor Con Edison Project Overlay 6

4 Functional Technology for DRCC Distributed Intelligence Concept Moving intelligence toward the end nodes Utilizing grid agents such as Manager Agents Building Agents Load Control Agents Meter Agents Future agents utilized may include Generator Agents Transformer Agents Feeder Agents Network Protector Switch Agents 7 Benefits of Technology DRCC Reliable utilization of customer-owned resources Aggregation of resources Helps gather baseline data on customer facilities DCC Various technologies such as DG, fuel cell, wind Consider allowable hours of operation Environmental considerations Type of DG resources (gen vs. fuel cell) Chiller operations in buildings Utilization for providing capacity, ancillary services, and energy 8

5 Targeted Capabilities Access to resources on the distribution system Additional visibility into system resources Enabling distribution operators Tools for planning Tools for early detection of potential problems Tools for response Extending the life of distribution assets Detection of overload conditions Controlling overload conditions Moving toward the concept of a Virtual Power Plant 9 Demand Response System Architecture 10

6 Gaps / Challenges Consumer owned resources may bring along other opportunities or issues. Support for distribution system issues vs. support for ISO/RTO reliability program Green issues where DG is involved (type of DG) Grid agent interface technology tends to be decentralized Independent DR aggregators are enabled and need to interface in conjunction with other resources. Customer retention of decisions relative to use and support of equipment they own. 11 Questions? 12

7 GridAgents Story The GridAgents Story GridAgents started with seed capital from the U.S. DOE with the mission to increase grid reliability and efficiency by embedding localized intelligence in distributed energy systems and buildings designed to coordinate with the larger grid network. GridAgents build a foundation of distributed software capable of running within pervasive internet environments in contrast with hardwired and traditional enterprise software models. This has proven to be a significant competitive advantage in the new era of SmartGrid deployments 13 3-G System of the Future Advanced Distribution Operation with DER Integration 14
