NYISO U.S. Department of Energy Smart Grid Investment Grant Project Michael Swider Manager – Research & Development New York Independent System Operator Advanced Energy Conference 2013 New York City, NY April 30, 2013
Topics • Introduction to the NYISO • Project Overview • Project Participants • Accomplishments • Project Schedule • Challenges & Lessons Learned • Road Map
NYISO Roles • Reliable operation of the bulk electricity grid • Managing the flow of power on 11,000 circuit-miles of transmission lines from more than 300 generating units • Administration of open and competitive wholesale electricity markets • Bringing together buyers and sellers of energy and related products and services • Planning for New York’s energy future • Assessing needs over a 10-year horizon and evaluating projects proposed to meet those needs • Advancing the technological infrastructure of the electric system • Developing and deploying information technology and tools to make the grid smarter
SGIG Project Summary • Budget: $75,710,733 • Timeline: July 1, 2010 – June 30, 2013 • Equipment: Phasor Measurement Units, Phasor Data Concentrators, Phasor Measurement Network, Capacitors • Applications: Enhanced State Estimator, Voltage Stability Monitoring, Situational Awareness (Visualization), Post-Mortem Analysis • Benefits: Improved Grid Reliability & Power Flow Efficiency, Reduced Costs, Reduced Likelihood of Disturbances
Project Participants • NYISO as the Primary Awardee for the Grant • New York Transmission Owners as SubAwardees • Quanta Technology as the primary consultant, providing Engineering and Technical expertise • Crowe Horwath LLP as a subcontractor to provide Grant Administration and Compliance expertise • PMOLink, LLC as a subcontractor to provide Project Planning and Management services • Utilicast, EPG, & ABB for Application Development, Integration, Testing & Deployment • EPRI & EnerNex to conduct Controlled System Separation Feasibility Study and Dynamic Model Calibration Study
Accomplishments • PMU Design & Build-Out • 40 (of 41) Substations Covered • 47 (of 48) PMUs Installed • PDC Design & Build-Out • 8 (of 8) TO Control Center PDCs Installed • Capacitor Installations • 458.2 (of 938.2) MVAr of Capacitors Installed • Phasor Measurement Network • Wide Area Network Build-Out Complete for 10 (of 10) Sites • 6 (of 8) Transmission Owner Control Center PDCs Networked Photos courtesy of Central Hudson Gas & Electric and New York Power Authority
Accomplishments • Situational Awareness (Visualization) Applications • Began testing EPG base product in early 2012 • Development continued to meet NYISO requirements • Currently Executing Site Acceptance Testing • Enhanced State Estimator Applications • Development / Testing in 2012 • Q1 2013 Deployment • Voltage Stability Monitoring Applications • Development began in late 2012 • Currently Executing Site Acceptance Testing • Q2 2013 Deployment
Accomplishments • System Studies: Controlled System Separation • Conducted by EnerNex • All deliverables received in 2012 • Final approval by NYISO in Q1 2013 • System Studies: Dynamic System Model Calibration • Conducted by EPRI • All deliverables received in 2012 • Additional scope added to be complete by June 2013
Anticipated Benefits • Situational Awareness • Enhance NYISO’s ability to detect system vulnerabilities and disturbances in real time and to potentially mitigate their impact • Phasor Enhanced State Estimation • Addition of time-synchronized data will improve the existing state estimation function • Reduction in Transmission Losses • Capacity and energy savings as capacitors reduce losses by improving power factors and voltage profiles
Challenges & Lessons Learned • Project Execution Challenges • External Dependencies • Coordination Among Multiple Entities • Schedule Delays • Business Owner Acceptance • Technical Challenges • Knowledge / Experience • Performance / Support • Cyber Security • Data Retention • Lessons Learned • Shared Requirements/Goals • Expansion
Road Map • People • Post-Project Support from IT & Operations • Show Benefits to Stakeholders • Process • Ongoing Planning for NYS and Beyond • Data Analysis & Technology Growth • Technology • Ongoing Equipment Installations • Redundancy • Advanced Applications
The New York Independent System Operator (NYISO) is a not-for-profit corporation responsible for operating the state’s bulk electricity grid, administering New York’s competitive wholesale electricity markets, conducting comprehensive long-term planning for the state’s electric power system, and advancing the technological infrastructure of the electric system serving the Empire State. www.nyiso.com
