  1. Power Systems Engineering Research Center Planning Workshop South Lake Tahoe, CAAugust 4-7, 2008 An Overview of PSERC’sSmart Grid Related Activities

  2. Goal of this Overview • Document track record of completed and on-going PSERC Research Projects that contribute to Smart Grid objectives. • Highlight range of expertise and nature of student training in PSERC that provides a foundation for future Smart Grid collaborations and advances.

  3. Defining Smart Grid Objectives • MANY interested parties have a role in defining the “Smart Grid,” and indeed, many other names have emerged for similar set of objectives (e.g., in PSERC we have coined “EmPowered Grid.” • Among the many groups, DOE has sought to facilitate communication and coordiantion, so with deference to all, we will start from DOE’s definition of objectives. (in particular, we draw from recent DOE workshop presentation: http://www.oe.energy.gov/DocumentsandMedia/Smart_Grid_Eric_Lightner_Presentation_05072008.pdf

  4. DOE’s List of S.G. Objectives • Enabling active participation by consumers • Accommodating all generation and storage options • Enabling new products, services, and markets • Optimizing assets and operating efficiently • Anticipating and responding to system disturbances in a self-healing manner • Operating resiliently against physical and cyber attack and natural disasters • Providing the power quality for the range of needs in a digital economy

  5. From Broad Objectives to Categories of Research • “Drilling down” from DOE’s higher level objectives, PSERC’s efforts under what we term the “EmPowered Grid” heading establish specific categories of research that contribute to Smart Grid objectives. • Must emphasize that categories to follow are evolving classifications, to help group and explain the nature of PSERC’s research contributions. NOT SET IN STONE!!!

  6. From Objectives to Categories of Research • Distribution automation implementation • Transmission automation implementation • Efficiency enhancement • Asset management • Situational awareness implementation • Distributed generation planning • Central generation resource utilization • Data management • Weather and environmental impact mitigation • Market design and oversight

  17. Summary: PSERC Research and the Smart Grid Take-Away Points • PSERC has 10+ year history of Industry/University Collaboration in Power Systems Research • Of course a large percentage of this research addresses Smart Grid goals (how could we be Smart Researchers™ and not contribute to a Smart Grid!!) • Evidence of PSERC Smart Grid contributions cataloged and available in our research project reports at www.pserc.org
