What is Smart Grid? Varies in definition and scope No one-size fits all definition Must be adapted and configured for all contributors to energy chain Vision for electricity delivery system of the future Convergence of Information and Telecommunications Across Energy Value Chain Generation Transmission Substation Distribution Consumer
New York s Smart Grid Resilient Flexible Efficient Affordable Investment results in substantial benefits and meets NY s energy challenges Reduces costs Spurs economic growth Promotes environmental goals Increases security
The Consortium is a gathering place for the leading ideas in grid technology as New York s grid is modernized. A unique public-private partnership comprised of major utilities, globalscale technology developers, research institutions, and government entities.
Collaborative Demonstration Project The Route 110 Smart Energy Corridor Diane Blankenhorn
Introduction / Overview Regional Initiative Focus Long Island's Key Energy Related Technology Resources into advancing the development and implementation of the Smart Grid LIPA, Stony Brook University w/ Advanced Energy and Research Center (AERTC) & Farmingdale State College DOE funding of $12.5 million Matched by SUNY Research Foundation and LIPA Create Long Island s 1st Integrated Smart Energy Corridor 5
Regional Context Route 110 Long Island s Central Business Corridor Route 110 6
Project Location Corridor along 110 from Route 109 in Babylon to the LIE in Huntington Expanded using wireless common carrier in 2013 SUNY Stony Brook AERTC Route 110 Corridor Route 110 Corridor State School Substation Ruland Road Substation Automated Distribution Smart Substation South Farmingdale Substation Smart Commercial Buildings SUNY Farmingdale Campus Smart Industrial Buildings Smart Residential Buildings 7

Goals of the Initiative Smart Grid Demonstration Deploy 2-way communications and automation technologies Enhance end to end operations and reliability of three circuits to benefit customers Develop a comprehensive assessment process Analyze the value of the data obtained in order to apply these findings to future applications of this technology Green Job Creation Utilize Long Island's Energy Technology Development Resources Create the technologies and new businesses necessary for a 21st century grid Green Skill Training Utilize Long Island's Energy Education capabilities Develop and train the Green Jobs necessary for a 21st century grid 10
Customer Benefits Improve Service Reliability Automatic outage detection and notification Customer specific restoration confirmation Enhanced circuit diagnostics and trouble-shooting Intelligent circuit switching and routing Reduce response and restoration times Receive tools showing timely and detailed information about their energy use through: Web Portal and/or Mobile App/In Home Display Receive upgrade of Direct Load Control Equipment 11
Customer Benefits (continued) Provide usage knowledge Allows customers to save money by switching to alternative time of use rate plans Convenience of meter reads Without a visit from the meter reader Allow customers to more easily integrate green technologies Solar Wind Electric Vehicles 12
Utility Benefits Improve service reliability Enhanced intelligence regarding circuit condition More timely and accurate Improve data/tools for planning studies Systems have the ability to provide enhanced data to planners Evaluating data and developing tools/processes to utilize this additional information in the future. Enhancement of the efficient use of energy in the corridor Tools/programs/processes developed that use the data in an effective manner Through the collaborative effort with the Universities Improve intelligence Regarding the value of deploying technology 13
Roles and Responsibilities ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES Long Island s Smart Energy Corridor LIPA Design and Operation of Smart Electric Grid Procurement and Ownership of the Assets designed to enable the Smart Grid Utilize existing programs, plus Smart Energy Corridor, to partner w/ SUNY StonyBrook and SUNY Farmingdale to enable the mission of Business Incubation and Green Job creation and training Stony Brook w/ AERTC Pre-application testing of Commercialized Smart Grid Technologies and Systems Sensor CAT and CEWIT to work with third parties for "New Smart Grid" Technologies and Systems Data visualization, data monitoring and analysis Remote Monitoring of Grid Cybersecurity and Power Flow Analysis Farmingdale Create Long Island's 1 st Smart Energy Campus Expand the Solar Center to become a Renewable and Sustainable Resource Center for demonstration of customer owned renewable resources (e.g. wind, solar, PHEV) Utilize the Renewable Energy Center to enable certificate training programs for renewable resources for Green Technology entrepreneurs and industry workforce 14
