2 The Smart Grid vision Efficient- Supports increased demand without additional infrastructure Accommodating-Open to energy from virtually any source including renewablesas easily, transparently, and reliably as traditional generation technologies; capable of integrating new technologies such as energy storage as they become available & proven Intelligent-Capable of sensing system problems and intelligently rerouting power or altering loads to prevent or minimize impact Barrier reducing-enabling real time communication between the consumer and utility allowing consumers to tailor their energy consumption based on individual preferences, like price and/or environmental concerns Quality focused-capable of delivering the power quality necessary-free of sags, spikes, disturbances, and interruptions, to power the increasingly digital economy, and the data centers, computers and electronics necessary to make it run Resilient-increasingly resistant to attack and natural disasters as it becomes more decentralized and reinforced with smart grid security protocols Green-slowing the advance of global climate change and offering a real path toward significant environmental improvement 2

3 Alternatives & Renewables Demand Response Grid Modernization What embodies the Smart Grid? Climate Change Distributed Energy Resources Energy Efficiency

4 Smart Grid - Energy Efficiency Why Energy Efficiency? Large untapped resource-national Energy Efficiency Plan believes 50% of load growth can be met with energy efficiency programs Utilities are well positioned to deliver Multiple states have mandates How? Recognize it as a high-priority resource Make long term commitment to implement cost-effective programs Align utility incentives & ratemaking Educate & engage consumers Provide a feedback loop Segment Efficiency Potential Residential Median 26% Commercial Median 22% Industrial Median 14% Studies show a consumption reduction of 4 to 15% when consumers were given real-time feedback 4

5 Smart Grid - Modernization Existing Substation protection Feeder automation Distribution automation Volt-VAR optimization New Home area networking Distributed monitoring & control Distributed energy resources Micro-grids Goal Integrate existing grid monitoring & control to new distributed & consumer focused resources Requires new generation of distribution management systems Pervasive communications Advanced analytics Dynamic control 5

6 Smart Grid -Demand Response A key element of the smart grid is dynamic energy pricing Dynamic pricing and smart grid technologies will enable consumers to see and react to pricing before they use energy, a powerful motivator for conservation Studies and pilots have shown a mass market elasticity of response Customers are more interested in programs if they realize a significant bill savings (10% or more) Demand response uses: Critical Peak Pricing Economic dispatch to reduce generation costs Socioeconomic dispatch where consumers respond for the benefit of society as whole Reliability dispatch to reduce/eliminate service interruptions Environmental sustainability dispatch when renewables such as wind or solar aren t readily available Non Critical Peak Pricing Source: EEI Quantifying the Benefits of Dynamic Pricing In the Mass Market, Jan 2008 Ahmad Faruqui & Lisa Wood, The Brattle Group Key Success Factor -Consumers will want something simple and accessible to interact with the grid. Set it and forget it. *Source: EEI Quantifying the Benefits of Dynamic Pricing In the Mass Market, The Brattle Group 6

7 Smart Grid - Renewable Generation Renewable energy roadmap Renewable portfolio standards exist in 33 states Major sources Source: EPA Wind : 2008 US overtook Germany as world s leading source (25 of 121 total GW) Solar: US expected to take world lead this year Grid parity estimates between based on Decreasing cost of Solar & Wind technologies Solar: Thin film, Building integrated PV Wind: Superconducting turbines Increasing costs of current generation Issues Distributed nature of supply Intermittency of supply Forecasting supply (availability, adequacy) Potential for decreased reliability Source: WWEA Source: IEA 7

8 Smart Grid - Distributed Energy Resources Micro-generation Recuperative micro-turbines Combined heat & power Fuel cells Energy storage Ice energy storage for AC Rechargeable batteries Plug in Electric Hybrids (PHEVs) As a distributed energy resource e.g. better place battery exchanges & charge spots powered via renewable energy Vehicle-to-grid = source for on-peak supply & energy storage (potentially selective) Goal of all distributed energy resources is efficiency, demand distribution / peak shaving, environmental impact reduction & other ancillary services 8

9 Smart Grid - Climate Change Target reduction of GHG emissions 19 States have established targets EPRI estimates the Source: US EPA Electric sector can by 2030 achieve a reduction to below 1990 levels through: Energy efficiency Renewables Nuclear & advanced coal generation CO2 capture & storage Distributed energy resources Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles Demand Response Engaging consumers is key Alliance for Climate Protection: 9% Activists 35% Engaged 38% State of Fear 18% Ignorant of Issues EIA Base Case
