Abstract: Much in the way that a “smart” phone these days means a phone with a computer in it, smart grid

means “computerizing” the electric utility grid. Smart grid deployment has been accelerated by

the U.S. Department of Energy’s Smart Grid Investment Grants for the past five years. As

advanced computer algorithms and emerging communication technologies converge with power

system developments, smart grid is poised to attract IEEE's multidisciplinary talents

to modernize the grid and create a more vibrant economy.

Biography: An IEEE Fellow, Wanda Reder is the Chief Strategy Officer at S&C Electric Company in

Chicago, Illinois. She is also a dedicated volunteer leader and power engineering expert whose

initiatives as president of the IEEE Power and Energy Society helped grow membership,

established a successful scholarship fund and positioned IEEE as the source for

expert information on smart grid technology. In 2014, she was honored by IEEE

with the 2014 IEEE Richard M. Emberson Award. Wanda has been serving on

the IEEE Board and on the IEEE Foundation Board since January, 2014 and now

aims to apply her experience, vision and leadership to IEEE by petitioning to run

for the office of 2016 IEEE President-Elect.

EPB of Chattanooga estimated that outages cost of $100 million Saved with 1200 IntelliRupters® with IntelliTeam® SG

2011 Labor Day Storm (20% technology configured):• 63,000 homes interrupted; however, 16,000 (25%) experienced no outage and 9,000 (7%) experienced a 2-second interruption

• Utility avoided 1,917,000 customer minutes of interruption

July 2012 wind storm:• EPB estimates they avoided 500 truck rolls and reduce total restoration time by 1.5 days with automated feeder switching Represents $1.4 million in operational savings

Storage with

Renewables can:

• Smooth

intermittency

• Minimize reverse

power flow, keeps

voltage within limits

• Store output and

release coincidental

with local load

• Control ramp rate

It is expensive.

How is it justified?

Storage is Key for Operations, But…

13

Key for Operations to manage:

• Variability and uncertainty

• Bidirectional power flows

• Outages

• Increased complexity

• Interoperability

• Enabling customer

participation

Energy Storage Beneficiaries are Varied

• Benefits flow to differently depending on application,

utility structure and regulatory rules.

• Consider benefits holistically, including society impacts

• Tools, market development, controls are needed
