1 Today s energy system challenges 2 Energy Transition and telecommunication 3 Solution approach for telecommunication 4 Conclusion
Today s challenges Mega trends in the energy system change our business fundamentally and irreversible Today Future Centralized structures Decentralized structures Low ICT usage High pervasion of ICT Low usage of measurement Detailed measurement required Proprietary solutions Open standards Standard IT security Very high level of ICT security Innogy SE Jürgen Tusch 29 September 2016
2 Energy transition and the role of telecommunication
Role of telecommunication Decentralization and digitization shape the energy system of the future Virtual power plant Distribution System Transport System ICT I ICT II Storage Transit innogy SE Jürgen Tusch 29 September 2016 5
Role of telecommunication The energy transition takes place in the distribution grid and requires additional telecommunication services Extra High Voltage Renewable Generation ~1 GW Available Telecommunication services High Voltage ~16 GW Additional Telecommunication services required Medium Voltage Low Voltage ~45 GW Quelle: BMWi Verteilernetzstudie 2014 innogy SE Jürgen Tusch 29 September 2016 6
Role of telecommunication The ICT environment of today s energy world is no longer a communications island: It is interconnected with external partners and processes Weather data Wind Solar radiation Temperature RES (Wind & PV) Control and cut off Generation data Communication with external parties TSO Municipal utilities Reporting requirements Transparency of information flow Recognition of possible intrusion patterns Advances in IT Security technology Intrusion Detection Analysis of application layer Next Generation ICT security solutions Increasing usage of IP technology in the process network Grid control center innogy SE Jürgen Tusch 29 September 2016 7 Backbone + distribution Likelihood of threats to energy systems is increasing Utilities increasingly get into the focus of attackers
3 A solution approach for the next decade
Solution approach Matching power distribution grid and the utility telecommunication network reveals missing links Utility dedicated radio Mobile radio M2M S- S- GCC Grid control center GCC grid control center GCC grid control center GCC grid control center Firewall Firewall DSL DSL S- PLC Legend: GCC: Grid Control Center : station S-: Secondary station Existing fiber infrastructure innogy SE Jürgen Tusch 29 September 2016 Existing copper infrastructure 9
Solution approach Each communication technology option for the medium and low voltage levels has specific challenges Grid topology Germany Medium voltage grid ~ 500,000 km Low voltage grid ~ 1,000,000 km Technology options Fiber Power line Radio based innogy SE Jürgen Tusch 29 September 2016 10
Solution approach Development of the telecommunication technology mix for the medium and low voltage levels of the smart distribution grid Utility dedicated radio LTE Quality of Service Blackout resilience 5G radio services Public mobile 4G LTE 800 o Quality of Service o Narrowband LTE Internet fixed lines DSL Renewable Energy growth Blackout resilience required Today 2020+ 2050 innogy SE Jürgen Tusch 29 September 2016 11
Solution approach The use of a combination of standard telecommunication services improves service availability at reasonable cost LTE 800 Mobile Operator Grid Control Center WAN VPN VPN termination innogy PDN RTU LAN VPN M2M Router DSL Fixed Network Operator WAN VPN APN Virtual Power Plant Customer Innogy-TC External Provider Innogy-TC Internal Customer End-to-end solution: M2M Secure Access innogy SE Jürgen Tusch 29 September 2016 12
Yearly additional cost Solution approach The financial perspective: Future distribution grids require ICT and financial backing by regulation schemes (Example Germany),,,,, Value added via ICT 2025 ca. 150 Mio p.a. for ICT Grid ICT Cost for RES cut off Conventional grid enhancement Source: Moderne Verteilernetze für Deutschland, Abb. 55: Jährliche Zusatzkosten durch Erzeugungsmanagement in der Netzplanung (Szenario EEG 2014), Verteilernetzstudie im Auftrag des BMWi, Berlin, September 2014 innogy SE Jürgen Tusch 29 September 2016 13
