Smart Grid: Power Delivery System of the Future
Uses communications, computing and power electronics to create a system that’s:
• Self-Healing and Adaptive• Interactive with consumers and markets• Optimized to make best use of resources and equipment• Predictive rather than reactive, to prevent emergencies• Distributed across geographical and organizational boundaries• Integrated, merging monitoring, control, protection, maintenance, EMS,
DMS, marketing and information technology• More secure from attack

The Smart Grid Move
20th Century Grid 21st Century Smart Grid
Electromechanical Digital
Very limited or one-way communications Two-way communications every where
Few, if any, sensors – “Blind” Operation Monitors and sensors throughout – usage, system status, equipment condition
Limited control over power flows Pervasive control systems - substation, distribution & feeder automation
Reliability concerns – Manual restoration Adaptive protection, Semi-automated restoration and, eventually, self-healing
Sub-optimal asset utilization Asset life and system capacity extensions through condition monitoring and dynamic limits
Stand-alone information systems and applications
Enterprise Level Information Integration, inter-operability and coordinated automation
Very limited, if any, distributed resources Large penetrations of distributed, Intermittent and demand-side resources
Carbon based generation Carbon Limits and Green Power Credits
Emergency decisions by committee and phone
Decision support systems, predictive reliability
Limited price information, static tariff Full price information, dynamic tariff, demand response
Few customer choices Many customer choices, value adder services, integrated demand-side automation

A KEMA working description Smart Grid is the networked application of digital technology to the
energy delivery and consumption segments of the utility industry. More specifically, it incorporates advanced applications and use of distributed energy resources, communications, information management, and automated control technologies to modernize, optimize, and transform electric power infrastructure.
The Smart Grid vision seeks to bring together these technologies to make the grid self-healing, more reliable, safer, and more efficient, as well as empower customers to use electricity more efficiently.
It also seeks to contribute to a sustainable future with improvements to national security, economic growth, and climate change.

System Reliability & Customer Expectations Improving grid reliability has been a major concern
• Recent power outages
Limited automation and inability to “see the whole grid” Improved Monitoring, Controls and Integrated Information Systems and
Operations

Enterprise Level Information Integration “Operational” Data
Data that represents the real-time status, performance, and loading of power system equipment
This is the fundamental information used by system operators to monitor and control the power system
Examples:• Circuit breaker open/closed status
• Line current (amperes)
• Bus voltages
• Transformer loading (real and reactive power)
• Substation alarms (high temperature, low pressure, intrusion)
Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI)Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI)
Enterprise Level Information Integration “Non-Operational” Data
Data items for which the primary user is someone other than the system operators (engineering, maintenance, etc.)
Note that operators are usually interested in some data that is classified as non-operational
Examples of “Non-Operational” data:• Digital fault recorder records (waveforms) (protection engineer)
• Circuit breaker contact wear indicator (maintenance)
• Dissolved gas/moisture content in oil (maintenance)
Information for which the primary user is group that maintains the substation monitoring and control equipment:
• Protective relay technicians/relay engineers
• SCADA/RTU/ personnel
• IT/Security personnel
Examples:• Protective relay settings
• SCADA data point mapping
• IED Passwords

A number of collaborations are seeking to bridge the gap in identifying and/or
specifying broad-based, common communications protocols.
Consortium Objectives/Focus Principle Supporters
• Interoperable devices at all levels within the grid – from utility to consumer
• Advanced sensor, communication, control, & IT systems for real-time operation/response
• Govt - Dept of Energy, Pacific NW Labs
• Utilities – AEP, BPA, ConEd
• Vendors – GE, IBM
• Facilitate broad adoption of AMI & demand response
• Recommend “open standards” for AMI through info/data models, reference designs, and guidelines
• Diminish stakeholder risk concerns & foster innovation
• Vendors – Cellnet, Comverge
• Utilities – PSE&G, SCE, SDG&E
• Consultants – KEMA, SAIC
www.gridwise.org
www.openami.org
• Create a "self healing" power system capable of handling emergency and disaster situations
• Develop open, standards-based set of blueprints for integrating power and communications systems to improve grid reliability, quality, and security
• GE and EPRI (founders)• Vendors –Lucent,
Systems Integration Specialists, Electrotek Concepts, & Hypertekwww.intelligrid.info
Selected Broad-Based Consortia
These organizations are loosely intertwined, leaving the key question of a clear roadmap for the AMI industry overall.
