  1. FCC Field Hearing on Energy and the Environment Monday November 30, 2009 MIT Stratton Student Center, Twenty Chimneys Peter Brandien, Vice President System Operations

  2. Introduction – ISO New England Inc. • Regional Transmission Organization • Independent of companies doingbusiness in the market • Responsible for: • Real-time bulk power system reliability • Administration and oversight of wholesale electricity markets • Regional system planning • Not-for-profit corporation • Regulated by Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)

  3. ISO/RTOs 3

  4. Smart Grid Defined Smart Grid is the integration of different infrastructures: • Traditional Power System technologies • New Power System technologies • Communications • Information Technology All together implementing a new paradigm of power system design and control

  5. Smart Grid Objectives • For Reliability • More capacity from transmission and distribution resources • Intelligent devices that automate monitoring and respond to emergency situations • Efficient production, movement and consumption of electricity • Tools and training to support control room • For the Environment • Reduction in Greenhouse Gases • Greater penetration of renewables, energy storage and demand resources • For Consumer Control • Transparency into electricity usage and prices • Opportunities for consumers to supply energy, capacity and ancillary services

  6. DATA Communications – Overview 6 6

  7. Integration with Other Infrastructures @ 2008 Electric Power Research Institute.

  8. Communication Requirements • Region wide Operations and Planning become more complicated under the Smart Grid • Requires frequent interaction among system control entities • More Choices and Uncertainty - Less time to react • Reliability of Communication Paths • Standardization • Need standardized control functions and communication protocols for use among power system control entities • Cyber Security • Security (physical and cyber) is a key requirement and should be designed upfront as part of the Smart Grid • NERC Critical Infrastructure Protection standards require compliance by all grid operators, transmission and generation owners
