  1. Smart Grid Wyatt Kroemer

  2. What is a Smart Grid? “A smart grid is an electrical grid which includes a variety of operational and energy measures including smart meters, smart appliances, renewable energy resources, and energy efficient resources.” - Wikipedia

  3. First Official Definition: EISA-2007 • Increased digital information and controls • Dynamic optimization of grid operations and resources • Deployment and Integration of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) • Development of Demand Response and energy efficiency resources • Deployment of “smart” tech (real-time, automated, interactive) • Integration of “smart” appliances and consumer devices • Deployment of advanced electricity storage, peak-shaving, electric vehicles • Provision to consumers time information and controls options • Development of standards for communication and interoperability of grid • Lowering unnecessary barriers to adoption of “smart grid” tech. and services

  4. Importance of a Smart Grid Makes a clean energy future possible

  5. Core Elements of a Smart Grid Digital processing Communications Enable Information management

  6. Benefits of a Smart Grid • Reliability • Flexibility • Efficiency • Sustainability • Market-Enabling

  7. Most Prevalent Applications of a Smart Grid • Demand Response (and peak shaving) • Precise forecasting • Real-time load balancing • Microgrids • Virtual Power Plants • Real-time and Market-based pricing

  8. Smart Grid Technologies • SCADA • “Smart” meters • Phasor measurement units (PMUs) • Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) • Smart thermostats (virtual DERs)

  9. Microgrids

  10. Smart Grid Research Programs • GridWise • GridWise Architecture Council (GWAC) • IntelliGrid • Grid 2030 • Modern Grid Initiative (MGI) • GridWorks • Pacific Northwest Smart Grid Demonstration Project

  11. Smart Grid State Programs

  12. NY REV (Reforming the Energy Vision) Goals • Make energy affordable for all New Yorkers • Empower New Yorkers to make more informed energy choices • Improve New York’s existing energy infrastructure • Create new jobs and business opportunities • Support the growth of clean energy innovation • Build a more resilient energy system • Protect New York’s natural resources • By 2030: 40% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from 1990 levels • By 2030: 50% of New York’s electricity generated by renewable sources • By 2030: 23% reduction in energy consumption of buildings (from 2012 levels)

  13. Problems: Aimless Future No precise definite vision Few concrete plans exist Plans are disjoint Plans are haphazardly incentivized and implemented

  14. Problems: No Action Little urgency (changing rapidly) Little & inappropriate incentives Rate structures and tariffs are inefficient and inaccurate Few & disjoint standards Too much ambiguity

  15. Question How do we make this into a reality?
