1 EPRI Smart Grid R&D Overview September 5 th 2008 Erfan Ibrahim, Ph. D. Technical Executive CIO Initiative Lead Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI)

2 Electric Power Research Institute Collaboration..Technical Expertise.Thought Leader Not for profit, collaborative electricity research organization with more than 450 participants in over 40 countries U.S. utilities placed approximately 72% of their R&D investment with EPRI in Independent electricity research in: Generation Environment Power Delivery & Energy Utilization Nuclear R&D projects annually, ~$300M R&D funding, more than 400 engineers and scientists 2

3 IT R&D Activities at EPRI by Sector 1. Environment/Generation - Fossil O&M Excellence (OMX) Initiative 2. Nuclear - Plant Design & Maintenance 3. Power Delivery & Utilization Smart Grid Demo (EPRI Board Initiative) Advanced Metering Infrastructure Interoperability & Standards Development Smart Grid Systems Integration (Common Information Model) 3

4 EPRI s IntelliGrid R&D Program Largest Funded Collaborative R&D Program in Smart Grid U.S. Utilities 2008 Membership includes 37 utilities in North America International Utilities Electricite de France Polish Power Grid Company Korea Electric Power Manufacturers ABB Siemens Elster Public Agencies Association of State Energy Research and Technology Transfer Institutions International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners National Association of State Energy Officials National Conference of State Legislatures National Governors Association State Energy Offices and Research Programs Electricity Industry Technology Providers Public Sector/ Consumers 4

5 IntelliGrid: R&D to Develop the Foundation of Smart Grid Smart Grid Requirements gathering methodology Standards assessment and contribution Information model to facilitate systems integration Communication technology assessment Security Policy for smart grid applications 5

6 TM TM TM IntelliGrid: Key Focus in 2008 Helping Developing Security Policy Security Policies Wireless Brand X You Shall Protect Revenue Data U C A MeterInc.

Model 12b 2 Phase, 120VAC, 200A 6

7 Interoperability: Key to Exchanging Information Levels of Interoperability Interoperability is the ability of two devices or systems to come together and work 7

8 IntelliGrid Standards Landscape Assessment / Contributions Develop and implement consistent systems management and security policies Apply IEC and (CIM, GID) for Enterprise Data Sharing R&D: Integrate and Harmonize IEC IEC ANSI C12 Standards Apply IEC for Real-Time Controls Apply ANSI C12 for Revenue Metering Apply ASHRAE BACnet for Building Automation 8

9 Agenda. EPRI s Involvement in Smart Grid IntelliGrid Architecture Designing the Foundation of Smart Grid Smart Grid Demonstration Accelerating Standards through Field Demonstrations Accelerating the adoption of Demand Response (DR) Ready Appliances Establish stakeholder group, identify gaps, initiate activities to fill that gap 9

10 Smart Grid Demonstration Approach Integration Integrated deployment of distributed resource technologies leveraging the information and communication technology (ICT) that will be deployed by the host utility Integration of distributed resources with utility system operations Interoperability Accelerate standard development through demonstrating use of common language to exchange information with distributed resources from various manufacturers Multiple use of communication and metering infrastructure for control, measurement & verification of the dispatchable resource Shared Learning from Multiple Demonstrations and Use of EPRI s IntelliGrid Architecture will Lend to Expandability, Scalability, and Repeatability 10

11 Smart Grid Exchanging Information Seamlessly Across the Enterprise Transmission Substation Distribution Consumer Phasor Measurement Condition Monitoring Distribution Automation Prices to Devices (Demand Response) Communication Enabled Power Infrastructure 11

12 Smart Grid: Enabling Multiple Applications First Build the Right Foundation Energy Markets Outage Management Real-Time Contingency Build The Right Foundation Security Security Network Management Data Management Network Management Data Management Interoperability AMI SCADA Protection 12

13 Smart Grid Demonstration: Enabling Efficiency, PHEV, Distributed Renewable and Reducing Peak Demand Smart Grid Infrastructure Used to Build an Integrated Dispatchable Demand Side Resource Substation/Feeder DER Integration C&I Customer Demand Response & DER Integration Residential Customer Demand Response & DER Integration Integration of Distributed Power Generation, Storage and Demand Response Technology Using EPRI s IntelliGrid Architecture 13

14 Smart Grid Enabling Demand Response Through Demand Response (DR) Ready Appliances Media Agnostic Intelligent Communicating Appliances Utility Smart Grid Wireless Fiber Optic Copper Wire Powerline Carrier Designation & Certification to Encourage Manufacturers to Develop DR-Ready Products Barriers: Standards for DR Interface & Market Transformation to Embed DR Interface 14

15 Technical Challenge: Develop standards for exchanging information with smart appliances Media Agnostic Intelligent Communicating Appliances Utility Smart Grid Standard data packet for two-way communications and data exchange 15

16 It Takes Time to Develop and Adopt Standards.. Example of Utility Energy Management System (EMS) Standard Initial Design to IEC Initial Implementations UTILITIES & 1994 INDUSTRY ISSUES/NEEDS FORMED STANDARD RELEASED World Experts - Utilities Begin Design Review Revise by Standards Body Interoperability Test to Validate Design 8 Years for Original Formal Approval EPRI s IntelliGrid Research Results Can Significantly Accelerate the Development of Standards for Exchanging Information with DR Ready Appliances 16
