Managing Our Energy Future
Technologies
Uses
Scalability
Future
What is the Smart Grid?
“…a web-enabled digitally controlled, intelligent delivery system”
Grid decisions are…
Too MANY
Too QUICK
…for human management
The Internet is Our Friend
Ability to Go Green
Real time and bidirectional
Quick and efficient response to disturbances
Being Green
Smart Grid – Increases efficiency
Saving up to 46-117 billion dollarsReduces electricity lost from 9% to 2%
– Rewards individuals for conservation
– Ability to integrate: small scale generation intermittent renewables
It’s not so hard after all!
Real Time Monitoring
Ability to assess power line volume
Information and power exchange between customer and supply
Reduced vulnerability to problems/threats – Data acquisition and transfer for self healing
Self-Healing
Digital Engineering Design That Enables:– Isolation/restoration of problems– Virtually no human involvement– Continuous assessment of problems
Predict, Detect, Respond, Resolve
Regulation
Net metering
Smart metering
Price Signaling
Curtailment
Net Metering
Receiving credit for surplus energy fed back into the grid.
Plugs in small scale energy generation into the grid.
Pre-cursor to the SmartGrid
Smart Metering
Digital records of power usage.
Automated heating/cooling/lighting.
Demand response programs.
Annual power demand reduction by…– 52-106 billion kWh – saving $3-7 billion / yr.
Meter prices will drop 50% in the next 3 years.
Price Signaling
Permits consumers to take overall grid demand (reflected in fluctuating prices) into consideration before and during energy usage.

Curtailment
The utility company will temporarily adjust your energy use to reduce demands on the grid.
GoodWatts Energy Management System
Allows both the homeowner and the utility to send commands to the home.
Benefits:– Remote management– Homeowners manage their own
energy consumption.– Continuous feedback to the
homeowner.
The Smart Grid and the West Coast
Bonneville Power Administration’s Wide Area Measurement System.
California’s Dynamic Power Pricing.
Ashland municipal utility’s Power Shift program.
Personal Energy Monitors
Smart energy industry: – $15 billion annually– Pacific NW: $2 billion share
Smart energy: application of digital information technology to optimize power:
– Generation– Delivery– End use
Rewards: – Energy conservation during peak demand– Purchasing “smart” technology appliances
Microgrids
Separate from larger grid
Reduced line losses (smaller area)
AC v. DC power
Wide Area Management Systems (WAMS)
Enabling Technology - advanced sensors
New tech. breakthroughs
2001-present : Consortium for Electric Infrastructure to Support a Digital Society – “Self-Healing Grid”
Challenges
BAU
No stable business climate
Performance-based ratemaking
Limited presence of smart technologies in public facilities
2010
Customer gateway for next generation smart meter – 2-way communication
Intelligent homes and appliances
Advanced conductors
Regional plans for modernization
Present 2010 2020 2030 The Future
2020
Improved energy management
Automatic corrections
High-Tech generators, transformers, cables
Long distance superconducting transmission cables
Present 2010 2020 2030 The Future
2030
Reliable, secure, digital-grade power for anyone
Affordable, pollution-free, low-carbon producing
Completion/continuation of superconducting framework
Present 2010 2020 2030 The Future
How we are making the future possible!
