Smart Grid is Impossible to Cover Fully in a Half-hour!

Meaning, you’ll have homework!

Are We Fighting!For Freedom?!

Page 8: What's REALLY Happening with the Smart Grid

Actually, We Are!

Are We Fighting!For Freedom?!

Page 9: What's REALLY Happening with the Smart Grid

Freedom From Foreign Oil!•  The goal of 2007’s Energy Independence and

Security Act (EISA 2007) is “to move the United States toward greater energy independence and security, to increase the production of clean renewable fuels, to protect consumers, to increase the efficiency of products, buildings, and vehicles, to promote research on and deploy greenhouse gas capture and storage options, and to improve the energy performance of the Federal Government, and for other purposes”!

Page 10: What's REALLY Happening with the Smart Grid

EISA 2007!•  Main goal is to eliminate dependence on foreign oil!•  Provides significant incentives for plug-in and hybrid

electric vehicles!•  Increases Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE)

standards—35 mpg fleet-wide by 2020!•  Requires 25% better efficiency for light bulbs by

2012 (effectively eliminating incandescent bulbs) and 200% better efficiency by 2020!

•  And pork…gotta have pork!•  All of which means SMART GRID!!

Page 11: What's REALLY Happening with the Smart Grid

What the Smart Grid is NOT!•  NOT a smart meter!

–  NOT Automated Meter Reading (AMR)!–  NOT Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI)!

•  NOT the Home Area Network!–  NOT ZigBee, Z-Wave, Wi-Fi, 900 MHz, Bluetooth, or WiMAX!–  NOT Ethernet, HomePlug, HomeGrid, MoCA, or HomePNA!

•  NOT a bunch of other technologies and capabilities, all of which are are components of the Smart Grid!

•  Tonight, I’m focusing from inside the meter!

Page 12: What's REALLY Happening with the Smart Grid

What the Smart Grid IS!•  Provides quality power meeting 21st century needs!•  Accommodates all generation and storage options!•  Enables new products, services, and markets!•  Provides operational resilience against physical and

cyber attacks!•  Optimizes asset utilization and operating efficiency!•  Enables active participation by consumers in

demand response!

Adapted from IEEE P2030!

A digitized and intelligent version of the current power grid!

Page 13: What's REALLY Happening with the Smart Grid

Key Smart Grid Drivers!•  Utilities want more information from customers to

better forecast how generation will meet actual demand!

•  Consumers need real-time, appliance-level pricing and demand response information, from utilities and from third parties, in order to alter behavior, save money, and go green!

•  Governments want to encourage realization of environmental benefits by reducing noxious emissions (and votes…definitely votes)!

•  One key capability—Demand Response (DR)!

Page 14: What's REALLY Happening with the Smart Grid

Demand Response!•  “Reduction in the consumption of electric energy by customers

from their expected consumption in response to an increase in the price of electric energy or to incentive payments designed to induce lower consumption of electric energy”!

•  Dispatchable!–  Customer alters consumption due to direction from someone else!–  Includes rebates, compensation, and direct load control of

appliances!•  Non-dispatchable!

–  Customer alters consumption based on retail rate design that changes over time!

–  Includes time-of-use (TOU) pricing!

From FERC Order 719!

Page 15: What's REALLY Happening with the Smart Grid

How Will We Get There?!•  Government and regulatory!–  NIST, FERC, NARUC, DoE, States!

•  Standards Development Organizations!–  IEEE, ITU, ISO, IEC!

•  Industry!–  OpenSG, SAE, AHAM!

•  Many, many other standards, regulatory, policy, and grass roots efforts—including the Smart Grid Council of Silicon Valley!

Page 16: What's REALLY Happening with the Smart Grid

Government & Regulatory!•  National Institute of Standards & Technology!•  Federal Energy Regulatory Commission!•  National Association of Regulatory Utility

Commissioners!•  Department of Energy!•  Individual States!

Page 17: What's REALLY Happening with the Smart Grid

NIST!•  According to EISA 2007, NIST has "primary responsibility to coordinate

development of a framework that includes protocols and model standards for information management to achieve interoperability of smart grid devices and systems…”!

•  Smart Grid Interoperability Panel & Governing Board (SGIP/GB)!–  514 Participating & 62 Observing Member Organizations!–  25 member governance committee !

•  Domain Expert Working Groups (DEWGs)!–  Provide analysis in particular application domains; longer-term horizon!–  Identify gaps and overlaps!–  Develop use cases and white papers!

•  Priority Action Plans (PAPs)!–  Address gaps where standards (or extensions) are needed; shorter-term

horizon (think tiger team)!–  Try to disambiguate when multiple standards overlap!
