Key Drivers – Regulatory Mandate

• In the US, The Federal Energy Act of 2007 has language that fosters the advancement of Smart Grid but leaves it to the states to define its requirements

• Three states have issued directives for the implementation of Smart Grid technology and many others are exploring options

11

Page 12: Silver Spring Networks

Copyright © 2011 Accenture All Rights Reserved.

Key Drivers – Aging Grid and Reliability

12

• Massive investment will be needed to upgrade the transmission and distribution grid over the next 10 years; 60% of the existing equipment will need to be replaced

• It is estimated that the cost of power outages and quality disturbances to the U.S. economy is over $100 billion

• Need for automation is also generated by the estimate that 50% of the North American technical workforce is expected to reach retirement age in 5 to 10 years

Page 13: Silver Spring Networks

Copyright © 2011 Accenture All Rights Reserved.

Key Drivers – Future Generation Need/Network Management

13

• Plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHV) are likely to increase the stress on the distribution network

• Future development in distributed generation will also affect the design and operation of the distribution network

• The grid will need to be able to handle intermittency and peak shaving technologies like battery banks

Page 14: Silver Spring Networks

Copyright © 2011 Accenture All Rights Reserved.

Key Drivers – Customer Needs and Requirements

• Under rising costs of energy, customers are likely to demand a more granular level of information to reduce their bills and contribute to the conservation of the environment

• The use of more flexible pricing mechanisms, such as Time of Usage and Critical Peak Pricing, will require implementation of automation

14

Page 15: Silver Spring Networks

Copyright © 2011 Accenture All Rights Reserved.

Key Drivers – Impact on the Environment

• Peak shaving and load shifting reduce reserve requirements which reduce total energy required

• Energy efficiency can reduce energy usage thus reducing carbon emissions

• Capital deferment and distributed generation reduces the need for additional future generation or power plants

15

Page 16: Silver Spring Networks

Copyright © 2011 Accenture All Rights Reserved.

Key Drivers – Technology Evolution

• Automated Meter Reading is quickly becoming obsolete, and vendor support costs for old systems are likely to increase exponentially

• In the face of new capital investment, new technology, such as Advanced Metering Infrastructure may be the cheaper solution

Smart Grid: A Definition

A Smart Grid is an intelligent network that uses sensing, embedded processing,

digital communications, and software to manage network-derived information, thus

making itself:

Observable

Measure the

states of all grid

elements

Integrated

Connected to

utility processes

and systems

Automated

Adapt and self-

heal

Controllable

Affect the state

of any grid

element

AMR Solution Project scope

AMR Solution is the combination of:

• A metering infrastructure

• An Information System

Initial scope of the Information System:

• Acquisition : Front end of communication, to receive and process the data from the metering

infrastructure, before transmitting to Meter Data Management IT system

• Supervisory control : system transforming the events received from the metering infrastructure

into alarms for the Functional Supervisory Control IT system

• Remote Management System : system giving the ability to remotely configure the components of

the radio network

The metering infrastructure meets the set of needs expressed by the customer:

L’exploitation du réseau radio : 3 activités liées …

33

La supervision a objectif de détecter et localiser les incidents qui peuvent provenir aussi bien de la chaîne communicante ou du système d’information. La supervision permet d’une part de déterminer l’opération corrective à apporter (la maintenance planifie et réalise cette opération) et d’autre part, d’anticiper les incidents en suivant l’évolution des indicateurs clés (la maintenance met à jour la gamme de maintenance).

La maintenance a pour mission d’établir la politique de maintenance (gamme de maintenance, modes opératoires) de la solution. Elle planifie les opérations de maintenance et réalise les interventions. Une partie de la maintenance peut être réalisée à distance sur la chaîne communicante depuis le SI AMR.

Planification radio : La planification radio consiste à déterminer la localisation idéale des concentrateurs (20 000 au plus) sur l’ensemble du territoire, de sorte de couvrir de manière optimale l’ensemble des compteurs communicants.

33

Page 34: Silver Spring Networks

Pourquoi une planification radio ?

34

• La planification radio consiste à déterminer la localisation idéale des concentrateurs (20 000 au

plus) sur l’ensemble du territoire, de sorte de couvrir de manière optimale l’ensemble des

compteurs communicants :

– La planification radio vise une couverture radio de l’ensemble des compteurs tous segments confondus

(résidentiels et industriels)

– La planification radio ne garantit pas la couverture radio des postes qui seraient potentiellement télé-

exploités

• Des outils spécifiques (cf. IHM) permettent de

déterminer de manière théorique la couverture

des concentrateurs en fonction de l’environnement

• Permet de localiser les zones non couvertes par

comparaison des mesures remontées par la Chaîne

communicante (relation avec la supervision) et lors

des changements de points hauts (perte d’un hébergeur,

extension du réseau, etc.)

• Enjeux :

– Optimiser la couverture radio et donc maximiser la transmission des données de comptage

– Minimiser le nombre de concentrateurs à déployer, et donc le nombre d’équipements à installer et de

conventions d’hébergement à négocier

– Vérifier l’éligibilité des bailleurs selon la couverture théorique attendue
