  1. International Collaboration of Smart Grid Demonstration Projects Integrating Distributed Energy Resources Matt Wakefield EPRI John J. Simmins, Ph.D. EPRI Gale Horst EPRI CIRED June 6-9, 2011, Frankfurt, Germany

  2. EPRI Smart Grid Demonstration InitiativeLeveraging Today’s Technology to Advance the Industry • Deploying the Virtual Power Plant • Demonstrate Integration and Interoperability • Leverage information & Communication Technologies • Integration of Multiple Types of Distributed Energy Resources (DER): • Distributed Generation  • Renewable Generation  • Storage  • Demand Response  • Multiple Levels of Integration - Interoperability Wakefield, Simmins, Horst – USA – Session 4 – 0530

  3. EPRI Smart Grid Demonstration Initiative Members Wisconsin Public Service Exelon (ComEd/PECO) Ameren KCP&L Southwest Power Pool SMUD Salt River Project Southern California Edison PNM Resources CenterPoint Energy Entergy • Research Funded by 21 Electric Utilities • Knowledge Transfer to Advance Industry Hydro-Québec Central Hudson Gas & Electric Con Edison FirstEnergy/JCP&L ESB Networks Electricité de France American Electric Power Duke Energy Tennessee Valley Authority Southern Company Collaborator Collaborator & Host Site

  4. EPRI Smart Grid Demo Critical Elements (Host Site Criteria) • Integration of Multiple Distributed Resource Types • Connect retail customers to wholesale conditions • Integration with System Planning & Operations • Critical Integration Technologies and Standards • Compatibility with EPRI’s Initiative and Approach • Funding requirements and leverage of other funding

  5. Collaborative Demonstrations – Increases Value Strategic Topic Collaboration – Prioritized Annually Energy Storage Monetization CVR & VVO Analysis & Monetization Consumer Behavior & Engagement Distribution Management System Integration & Visualization No Single Project Can Evaluate Every Integration Scenario Multiple Host-Sites Provide a Platform to Advance the Industry

  6. Cost-Benefit Analysis Guiding Documents • “Methodological Approach” (ID 1020342) • Jointly funded by DOE and EPRI • Provides framework for estimating benefits & costs • Estimating Costs & Benefits of the Smart Grid: (ID 1022519) • 20 Year Estimate of Investment & Benefit of Smart grid • CBA Guidebook Vol. 1, Measuring Impacts (ID 1021423) • Manual for practical application with step by step instruction • Guidance for documenting the project & approach to perform a CBA

  7. Dual Purpose of Demonstration Research • Demonstratephysicalimpacts of technologies in specificapplications. Does it work? • Estimateeconomicviability of the demonstrated applications. Is it worth doing? • The physical question is separable from the economic question. • We can test and observe the physical performance. • Economic performance is often not directly observable,but is estimable through analysis of the physical performance.

  8. Demonstrating Physical Impacts Hypotheses: Linking Cause and Effect A hypothesis makes a statement that links cause and effect. A causal chain can be expressed as a testable hypothesis: “If _____ occurs, the system acts to cause _____.”condition outcome

  9. Next Steps • Results Beginning to Come out • Emphasis on Case Studies in 2012 • Contributions to CBA Guidebook • Call to Action – Proactively Share Results • EPRI Results @ www.smartgrid.epri.com • Signup for Newsletter • Send request to mwakefield@epri.com Wakefield, Simmins, Horst – USA – Session 4 – 0530
