ON THE CUTTING EDGE OF TECHNOLOGY Bob Goodson Chief Operating Officer TSE/ EMC Technologies
Overview • “Utility Of the Future” (UOF) • Where is technology heading • Cooperatives have a role • New technology trends • Consumer expectations of their service providers
“Utility of the Future” (UOF) • Integration of energy supply chain • Power Resources • Transmission and distribution • Consumer • Intelligent grid in the UOF • Role of the intelligent grid (distribution infrastructure) • Utility of the Future business model • Integrating utility business operations & strategies through the intelligent grid
Utility of the Future (UOF): Role of the Intelligent Grid Generation & Transmission: UOF Infrastructure& Energy Ops: Intelligent Grid(Integrated Market Hub) • AMR/AMI (customer interface) • Utility customer systems • Utility operating & delivery systems • Regional market interface & system(RTO/ISOs, power pool, etc.) • Market-side monitoring/verification • Affiliated services (gas/water) Distribution Entity: Integrated Energy Supply Portfolio Operations • Time-based data analysis/comm/control functionality (MDM) • System reliability & planning (ancillary, OMS, SCADA/GIS) • Balanced portfolio management (supply/demand/usage) • Energy efficiency, DR/DSM, TOU/CPP, etc. • Renewables & environmental (carbon) • Distributed energy resources (DER) • Dmd response infrastructure (DRI) & “intelligent” dispatch • Customer satisfaction & segment service/value benefit “Intelligent” T&D Infrastructure SupportsIntegratedEnergy Operations & Resource Portfolios Source: “New Smart Grid Technology is Anti-gridlock”, Energy Central, March 2007

Legislative and Environmental Impacts • Senate Bill 3 mandates cooperatives generate 10 percent of their energy from renewable energy sources or through energy efficiency programs. • Climate change impacts • Carbon wildcard
UOF Example: Potential Electric Sector Carbon Reduction (EPRI’s PRISM technology capability assessment) “5th Fuel” DR/efficiency are key resources for “Bridging the Gap” • Key Assumptions: • Specific sequence of RD&D activities identifiable • RD&D supports wide-scale deployment by 2030 • No economic or political constraints • Aggressive but feasible reduction targets EIA 2007 Reference Case (Annual Energy Outlook ’07) Source: EPRI, The Power to Reduce CO2 Emissions: The Full Portfolio, 2007 Summer Seminar DER = Distributed energy resources (including solar)
Where is Technology Heading • Technology integration of supply chain • Currently, some technology integration exist between G&T - Power Supplier(s) and G&T- Distribution Cooperatives. • Seamless technology integration is needed between G&T, Cooperative, and end consumers for efficiency and reliability. • Intelligent or smart grid technology similar to computer network is needed to maintain the future power requirements. • More Intelligent devices on the power network to monitor and maintain the reliability.
Cooperatives Have a Key Role • Assist with technology integration (up and down stream) • Provide more products/services to cooperative members • Play a key role in CO2 emission, energy efficiency and other green energy programs to help meet REPS requirements
New Technology Trends • Renewable energy resources e.g. solar, wind, other • Fuel cell technology (Microcell alternatives) • Home automation to allow better energy conservation and control of appliances e.g. Zigbee, WiMax, others. • New intelligent devices on power line and substations to provide better information during outages and increase reliability. • More intelligent devices means more data to store (mine) and analyze. • Radio Frequency ID (RFID) Technology – Microcell Assembly Unicell Module
New Technology Trends • Zigbee Enabled Devices for home use • Monitor and manage energy usage and conservation using Zigbee enabled devices. • All Zigbee enabled devices provide information to a central control panel. • Allows central management of lighting, heating, cooling, and other systems to improve efficiency and conserve energy.
Other Technology Integration • Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) – integration of different disjointed systems and data exchange • Multiprotocol Layer Switching (MPLS) – next generation intelligent network • Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) – Utilizing IP network for voice, data, video, and other services • Network monitoring tools like Orion -automated notification of events e.g. interruption in network, power, computer equipment, and other services
Consumer Expectations of Their Service Providers • Affordable electric rates • Using energy more efficiently • Using technology to manage energy costs and better use of existing resources
