  1. What is Smart Grid?A Utility Perspective

  2. Progress Energy Progress Energy Florida • 1.6 million customers • 20,033 Square Miles • 35 Counties • 18,400 miles of overhead primary • 12,800 miles of underground primary • 277 T/D substations • 1,248 feeders • 1.035 million poles • 216,000 overhead transformers • 124,300 padmounted transformers

  3. Typical Utility System

  4. How did we get started on Smart Grid? Energy Policy Act of 2005 • Requires the U.S. Department of Energy to study and report on national benefits of demand response and make a recommendation on achieving specific levels of benefits and encourages time-based pricing and other forms of demand response as a policy decision; • Requires all public electric utilities to offer net metering on request to their customers; Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 • Smart grid - modernization of the electricity grid to improve reliability and efficiency.

  6. Current Rate and Grid Status Flat Rate—no customer price signals • 1,400,000 residential customers • 50 residential customers on Time of Use (TOU) • 7,500 WMW & 6,000 SMW of demand Grid Status • Minimal grid automation • Beyond feeder level no positive outage notification • Limited fault identification • Manual control of distribution feeders • Reactive system maintenance • Mobile Meter Reading (MMR) provides only one way communication • Demand Response (DR) has limited monitoring and verification

  7. Benefits of a Smart Grid • Grid Efficiency • Grid Optimization • Distributed Generation • Technical & Non-Technical Losses • Resource Economy • Demand Management • Renewable Integration • Direct Load Control (DLC) • Reliability • Positive outage notification • Fault location, Isolation & Restoration (FLIR) • Substation Automation (Intelligent Buss Tie) • Condition-based Maintenance • Customer Involvement in Energy Management • Knowledge of usage • Incentives for using power at different times • More control

  8. Compare & Contrast Today vs. Future Today Future • Manual fault location & isolation • Partial var management • Independent voltage regulation • No optimization of power flow • Real time fault values & remote control of switches • Real time volt/var management • Simulation models & dynamic reconfiguration to minimize losses

  9. Restoration Process Today Subsation A Recloser Subsation B Feeder level outage, breaker locks out

  10. Restoration Process Today Subsation A Recloser Subsation B Crew manually locates fault and radios back to Dispatch for isolation process

  11. Restoration Process Today Subsation A Recloser Subsation B Crew manually opens switch, radios back to Dispatch to reclose breaker

  12. Fault Location, Isolation & Restoration (FLIR) Subsation A Recloser Subsation B Feeder level outage, breaker locks out

  13. Fault Location, Isolation & Restoration (FLIR) Subsation A Indicates fault Indicates no fault Recloser Subsation B

  14. Fault Location, Isolation & Restoration (FLIR) Subsation A Recloser Subsation B Signal to switch to open

  15. Fault Location, Isolation & Restoration (FLIR) Subsation A Breaker remotely closed Recloser Subsation B

  16. Fault Location, Isolation & Restoration (FLIR) Subsation A Recloser Subsation B Signal to switch to close Signal to switch to open

  17. Fault Location, Isolation & Restoration (FLIR) Fault Location Isolation and Restoration (FLIR) Subsation A Recloser Subsation B

  29. Annual Load Curve

  30. Impact of Load Shaping on Generation

  31. Stimulus Package • $787 billion total package • $179 billion in engineering related areas • $20 billion Renewable Energy tax incentives • $30 billion in “Smart Grid” • $11 billion for “reliable, efficient electricity grid” • $ 6 billion for renewable energy projects • $ 4.5 billion in energy efficiency of federal buildings • $ 6.3 billion in local government grants for energy efficiency • $ 4 billion green-retrofitting of low-income housing • $ 2.5 billion for “energy efficiency and renewable energy research, development, demonstration and deployment activities to foster energy independence, reduce carbon emissions and cut utility bills.” • Source: The Florida Engineer, Spring 2009

  32. Challenges of Implementation • Cyber/Telecommunication Security • Partner with telecommunication companies? • System operations potentially exposed • No longer “security by obscurity” • IT Requirements/Systems Integration • Integration of legacy systems into new technology • Volume of data increasing 1000 fold • Complexity of field equipment & personnel training • Is the more complex field equipment worth it? • Current Lineman classification not exposed to telecommunication issues • Plug-in Hybrids • V2G (Vehicle to Grid): Benefit or liability?

  33. Smart Grid Brings Strategic Benefits Customer • Ability to offer value added service options • Controls energy management • Mass customization of customer experience • Flexible billing dates • Provides savings opportunity • Operational Efficiency • More effective use of base load generation (PHEV) • Reduced peaker fuel & O&M • Remote connect/disconnect • T&D benefits of lower peaks • Improved Theft detection Balanced Solution • Energy Efficiency • Alternative Energy • State-of-the-Art Plants • Regulatory • O&M Savings • Reduced carbon intensity • Reduced overall generation • GHG levels • Reliability improvements • Transition to 2-way energy mgmt. • Enables Measurement and • Verification • Revenue • Revenue protection • Provision for Distributed Generation • Pricing signal rates shift sales • that lower peaks • PHEV energy sales & management • Renewable, and energy storage options 32
