  1. SmartGridIreland (SGI) • Paddy Turnbull • Chairman of Smart Grid Ireland • Growth Strategy Leader GE Energy - Digital Energy

  2. SmartGridIreland (SGI) SmartGridIreland (SGI) - is a network of organisations based in or operating out of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland seeking to jointly exploit the benefits and new opportunities in the smart grid sector regionally, nationally and internationally. Member organisations are drawn from industry, research bodies, universities and government

  3. SGI Strategic Themes

  4. Shaping a Low Carbon Future- A set of Complex Challenges Paddy Turnbull GE Energy

Smart Grid Ireland Smart Grid GB GE role: Founding member GE role: Chair Mission: To help develop and leverage off the opportunities emerging from the global Smart Grids Mission: to provide an open forum to , share ideas & information and develop thinking on how smart grid can be achieved

  6. Market and Technology Drivers Regulatory incentives and energy policy are impacting distribution networks which require investment to meet the challenges

  7. The Energy Challenge Security of supply Affordability Decarbonisation Optimising Network Utilisation Distributed Generation Sustainable Jobs & Growth

  8. The Leadership Challenge Strong domestic marketplace Technology & Innovation Scalable & competitive supply chain Supportive energy policy and certainty Source: Pew Environment Group 2011 Creating and maintaining a sustainable market for investment is vital

  9. The Investment Challenge – Key Issues Affecting Low Carbon Investors Finance Infrastructure Regulation • Size of capital expenditure • Rate of return • Local grid capacity constraints • Planning of transmission and distribution investments • Cost recovery regulations for low carbon investments • Clarity

  10. The Regulatory Challenges across the EU • Current focus of regional regulation is cost efficiency. • Prices are set partially according to projections of infrastructure maintenance cost – not Smart Grid implementation costs. • Cost reduction can lead to better margins but does not incentivize investment in infrastructure. • New business cases will change the relationship between DSO and suppliers • “Regulators should stick to regulating the functions of the smart grid, not the technological solutions to achieve the function” (UKERC ) • Business cases will be enabled by a two-way, reconfigurable grid, allowing a higher degree of multi-dimensional opportunity for new sources of revenues.

  11. Low carbon end game – the Journey Smart Grid Journey Build Foundations Understand current network status Network model Switching plan Improve Performance Improve customer service (SAIDI) Outage management Full Network Visibility Understand network power flows / voltages Distributed power flow Outage avoidance Proactively avoid network outages GIS, M&D, SS Au Smart Meters Control Power Flows Control local power flows (EVs, PV…) DG control Integrated DSM Optimise Network Achieve max return on network assets Active Network / Asset Mgmt Business objective Main functionality * DMS (SAIDI/SAIFI/OPEX reduction) ` ANM DSM T&C VPP * GE Value Propositions DMS (SAIDI/SAIFI/OPEX reduction) Constraint Management Low Carbon Economy * Improve Customer Service Empowering Prosumers Power Quality Increase Energy Efficiency Asset Management

  12. How Complex Can We Be in an Uncertain Investment Marketplace?

  13. Energy Complex Solutions Matrix

  14. Complex problems, deliverable solutions • Two imminent challenges for energy sector participants include: • Despatch of large scales distributed generation as Virtual Power Plants • Voltage control and quality on low voltage network

  15. Virtual Power Plant – foundation functions • Energy Aggregation • Local and Network level aggregation • Independent of energy type or operator • Allows smaller players to enter ancillary service market • Energy Resources Management • Active despatch of distributed energy resources • Economic energy balancing • Storage as alternative to asset replacement • Ancillary Services Market • Distributed energy systems despatch • Visibility of technical and commercial parameters • Despatch cognisant of system constraints
