  3. Smart Grid Vision “. . . a power system that can incorporate millions of sensors all connected through an advanced communication and data acquisition system. This system will provide real-time analysis by a distributed computing system that will enable predictive rather than reactive responses to blink-of-the-eye disruptions.” (EPRI, emphasis added) CURRENT’s Area of Focus Today: High degree of automation, optimization and control Limited automation, optimization and control (picture courtesy of Xcel Energy)

  4. CURRENT Value Model: >U.S.$1,000 NPV Benefits per Customer Up to 5% reduction in electric demand with no impact on customer “Without a radically expanded and smarter electric grid, wind and solar will remain niche power sources” (MIT, similarly European SG Platform, Ontario Smart Grid Forum) Estimated 87% reduction in cost of outages $0.50 for every $1 spent on electricity (EPRI) Enables better utility and end user energy usage Integrate Intermittent Renewables Reduce Outages Enable End User Energy Management Improve Grid Operations Smart Grid Platform (communications, sensing, software)
