Smart Integrated InfrastructureThe Progression of Smart Grid Presentation to National League of Cities Martin G. Travers – President, Telecommunications
At the core, being “Smart” is understanding how to plan, integrate and operate technologies holistically BOD(71) - 2 Financial, social and political pressures drive infrastructure owners to improve end user service in more cost- and resource-efficient ways Added infrastructure intelligence enables increased reliability, efficiency and security while enhancing the end user experience and creating a sustainable future
Evolving Infrastructure Landscape BOD(71) - 3 • IV. Smart Infrastructure • Multi-Utility Integration • Physical – Cyber Integration high • III. Smart Utility • Multi-System – Multi-Facility Aggregation Market Today Strategic Impact • II. Smart Information • Data Aggregation and Analysis • Smart Single-Use Infrastructure Industry Defining Industry Best • Smart Network • Device Connectivity • Smart Grid Industry Average low low high Integration Progression Data Information Knowledge Wisdom The convergence of energy, heating/cooling, water, waste management, communications, security, and transport will drive increased efficiencies and reliability
BOD(71) - 4 Smart Network - Defined • Key elements • Installation of network/connectivity • Installation of additional sensors/linkages and intelligent devices • Specialized tools and processes to collect, and transmit the data securely • Technology that provides monitoring and control data for infrastructure operations.
BOD(71) - 5 Smart Information - Defined • Key Elements • Aggregationor ability to see multiple assets as a collection, allowing large number of distributed assets to be grouped for control, planning, and other needs. • Apply knowledge of present/past in concert with view of the near-term future (with consideration of price signals, market, weather, or other factors that shape demand) to FORECAST requirements. Tools to organize data to support multiple business decisions/ objectives
BOD(71) - 6 Smart Information - Benefits • Identification of impending failures awareness of magnitude of losses and inefficiencies within a physical system (water, energy, or otherwise), or performance bottlenecks) • Allows needs to be compared to overall capabilities – this is key for demand response techniques.
BOD(71) - 7 Smart Utility - Defined • Point of coordination and planning address how both existing and new assets will play together. • Key Elements • New-build design, integration of new/existing assets, extended opportunity for knowledge management. • Develop understanding and implications or action required at both the aggregate as well as at the asset level • Knowledge of and ability to model complex assets • Leverage of high-level statistical math or AI tools in concert with tools/capabilities to assess/model what individuals asset can/will do.
BOD(71) - 8 Smart Utility - Benefits • Application of knowledge to how the actual pooled assets perform, implicit constraints/options • Understanding of how off-line assets (like energy storage) can be best combined to meet overall requirements. • A move towards optimization as forecasting improves to address longer period of time with good predictability • Improved ability to efficiently plan/commit various resources into the pool
BOD(71) - 9 Smart Infrastructure - Defined • Consumption shaping through data aggregation, demand/supply matching, demand response, (within various plants, systems, homes, etc.) is “controlled” (like air conditioning, recharging of vehicles, etc.) across all utilities • Key Elements • Systems engineering principles applied to help design integrated use/multi-utility systems required for smart cities. • Market based principles driving economic behaviours / actions
BOD(71) - 10 Smart Infrastructure - Benefits • Better multi-utility coordination of the industrial customer with the regional utility (water, electricity, steam, waste product reuse, etc.). • OSI has noted that their analysis shows that managing interactions of top 30% of industry will allow for 80% of load management to addressed An exciting component of this model is that this cycle is repetitive… Smart Infrastructure leads back to Smart Networks.
BOD(71) - 11 Smart Integrated Infrastructure Benefit Statements • Utility • Cost Savings – OpEx and CapEx • Reduced Labor Force • Consumers • Reliability • Price Savings • Community • Resource Efficiency • Environmental Efficiency
SII Platform is the way to keep pace with the societal and industry imperatives Winners understand: Customer circumstances How to successfully leverage technologies How to adapt solutions BOD(71) - 12 SII Technology is a dynamic component of Building A World of Difference The Smart Integrated Infrastructure is a natural progression of today’s Smart Gird initiatives
