  1. The Energy Policy Act of 2005:WORKSHOP SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING ELECTRIC TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION FUTURE R&D NEEDS Organized by Florida State University (FSU) Center for Advanced Power Systems (CAPS), with the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability (OE) Berdell Knowles, Regulatory Specialist, JEA

  2. Workshop Summary and Recommendations: Summary • Transmission-related R&D support needed • To improve reliability • To relieve congestion • To increase through-put over existing facilities • To facilitate infrastructure siting • Transmission technology needs (or in need of improvement) • Robust monitoring • Interoperability • Security • High capacity conductance • Storage

  3. Workshop Summary and Recommendations: Summary(cont.) • Distribution-related R&D support needed • To accommodate distributed generation resources • To encourage development of micro-grids • To support demand respondent end uses • Distribution technology needs (or in need of improvement) • “Smart” grids (2-way communications) • Real grid operation simulation • Affordable, reliable reactive power • Storage

  4. Workshop Summary and Recommendations: Summary(cont.) • General areas of consensus: • The critical transmission issue is to mitigate chance of the cascading, catastrophic outage • Most historic cascading outages could have been prevented by more prompt intervention and response • Transmission systems are becoming increasingly more complicated because of public policy and market forces • Transmission systems could benefit from more use of digital technologies

  5. Workshop Summary and Recommendations: Recommendations • Priority funding for technologies that improve the man/data interface • e.g. state estimation; communications; alarming; visualization • Stratify R&D opportunities to better delineate opportunities that should be funded by DOE vs. industry or a specific entity • e.g. is applicability utility specific or RTO-wide; is technology nascent or nearly commercial; does it address reliability, congestion or increasing thru-put

  6. Workshop Summary and Recommendations: R&D Needs Not Presented • Identify current barriers to technology adaptation by utility industry • e.g. Risk/reward, performance uncertainty, etc. • Support projects to demonstrate distribution system “hardening” to increase storm resistance • e.g. effective vegetation mgt., pole spacing, stronger conductor • Support broadband over powerline projects • To “accommodate” smart grids and demand response
