TM Forum- Management World Americas - Smart Grid Summary
- 1. Smart Grid Communication Strategy ShekharGupta Manager Network Planning Ops Century Link December 8th, 2009
- 2. What is theGrid? Generation Transmission Distribution 10,000 Power Plants 157,000 miles of high voltage transmission lines Substations step down voltages and distribute to hundreds of thousands of miles of lower voltage lines. Customers’ electric systems Customer The grid is the integrated network incorporating the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity

- 4. Today’s Grid •Generation ofpower is mostly centralized and large scale. •Electricity travels the path of least resistance hence it is not easy to control its path through the network. •Customers do not choose their source of electricity as service provision is territorially based •Energy prices are mandated with little consumer choice Over 3100 Electric Utilities Large stock-holder owned utilities handle majority of customers Public Utilities Public Utilities Stock-holder Owned Utilities Stock-holder Owned Utilities Electric Cooperatives Elec. Coops
- 5. Today’s Grid isUnder Stress The US energy grid is antiquated – Much of the power delivery infrastructure was designed before 1960 – The Near-term retirement of many aging plants is projected Inefficiency and failures are costly – Power interruptions and disturbances cost the U.S. electricity consumer at least $79 billion per year1 – A recent rolling blackout caused an estimated $75 million in losses in Silicon Valley alone. 2 – When the Chicago Board of Trade lost power for an hour during the summer of 2000, trades worth $20 trillion could not be executed. – Congestion in distribution and bottlenecks affect many parts of the grid. Today‟s grid is increasingly operating at its limits – facing shortcomings in capacity, reliability, security and power quality – 30% increase in demand expected by 2030 America faces a significant need for new electric power generation “Today’s power grid is wasteful, costly, inefficient and dumb…” 1 1. Lux’s Research, “Alternative Power and Energy Storage State of the Market Q4 2008: Weaving the $65 Billion Power Web,”
- 6. What Utilities Need Largeutilities may own & operate all domains Some major utility needs are: Revenue Impacting • Near real time usage status delivered in regular intervals; on-demand response • Service integration with billing systems • New products and services such as time-based rates, pre-payment, etc • Eliminate mechanical meter billing loss • Improve response to power outage / restoration Expense Impacting • Integrate utility network management systems • Manage peak load; – reduce peak rate – better control localized generation • Reduce meter reader costs • Reduce service disconnects / reconnect costs • Reduce outage support calls • Improve technician dispatch accuracy
- 7. Smart Grid Drivers ElectricUtilities: Current Situation / Challenges – Today‟s power grid is aging, inefficient and under stress – Power demand expected to increase by 30%-50% over next 10-20 years; prices are expected to increase to help manage demand – Grid cannot easily integrate alternative power generation and storage Environment – Economic: prolonged recession, business & consumer managing spend – Social: green movement, carbon footprint, hybrid/electric vehicles, recycling, etc. – Market: dynamic, emerging marketplace, new players in energy sector (eg, wireless, Google, Cisco, start-ups) – Political/Regulatory: energy is top priority for current administration; mandates for electric utilities; job creation • Building a smart grid is a priority with many stakeholders • Rural America may have different Smart Grid challenges

- 18. Smart Meter Smart Metersusually involve a different technology mix, such as real-time or near real-time sensors, power outage notification, and power quality monitoring. The system provides a wide range of advanced features, including the ability to remotely turn power on or off to a customer, read usage information from a meter, detect a service outage, detect the unauthorized use of electricity, change the maximum amount of electricity that a customer can demand at any time; and remotely change the meters billing plan from credit to prepay as well as from flat-rate to multi-tariff. These meters are fully electronic and smart, with integrated bi-directional communications, advanced power measurement and management capabilities, an integrated, software-controllable disconnect switch, and an all solid-state design. Smart Meter Features & Benefits • Automated Meter Reading ⇒ Saves labor • Real-Time Consumption ⇒ Modifies user behavior • Demand Response ⇒ Manage peak demand

- 23. Time Horizon “Large scalesmart grid integrated solutions will be partially underway in places such as Texas within five years. It will be obvious to everyone within a decade. It will be mainstream within two decades.” “The winners will be those who start planning today for that brave new world. Those who understand that to prosper in that world, you will need new, smarter business models.”* Why Now? – The Stimulus bill and other factors are bringing key conversations to a head. Telecom Industry shouldn‟t want standards laid down by others before adding its voice; Telecoms should seek to be courted as partners and avoid being locked out of value; – Pivotal choices will be made for the Smart Grid in 2009 and Telecoms need to claim a place at the table. * Berst, Jesse, smartgridnews.com Smart Grid Millionaires http://www.smartgridnews.com/artman/publish/industry/Smart_Grid_Millionaires_199_printer.html

Portal On-PremiseOff-Premise The communications portal serves as the on- premise clearinghouse and data processor for all energy related appliances and devices. It relies on a customer’s communications line. Internet
- 26. A Specific Examplefor Service provider to consider - Smart Grid’s Communication Portal A Communications portal could sit between consumers‟ home network and the wide area network. The portal could enable two-way, secure, and managed communications between consumers‟ equipment and energy providers‟ equipment. Performing the work closely related to routers and gateways, the portal could add management features (e.g., expanded choice, real-time pricing, detailed billing, consumption information, and distributed computing) to enable fully networked applications. A user interface available both at home & remotely places control and management of home energy devices as well as distributed energy resources at the end user‟s disposal.
