  1. APS and Its Smart Grid Initiatives September 26, 2012 Tony J. Tewelis Director, Technology Innovation

  2. Agenda • APS Overview • Smart Grid Objectives • AMI Activity • Utility Technologies • Customer Programs • Questions

  3. APS Overview • Key Statistics • Serve over 1.1 million customers • Largest IOU in Arizona • Serving ½ of Arizona’s population in 11 of 15 Arizona counties • Peak demand ~7,100 MW • Owns and operates about 6,000 miles of transmission lines and 28,000 miles of distribution lines • Over 36,000 square miles of territory • 2012 Energy Innovation Recognition • #4 Most Intelligent Utility • Top 10 in Smart Grid • #3 in Solar Deployed

  4. Smart Grid – Why? The primary objectives of deploying a smarter grid are to: • Optimize System Reliability & Performance • Empower Customers • Enable Alternative Energy APS is piloting and/or implementing a number of advanced technologies in order to meet these key objectives Image Source: Climateinc.org

  5. The APS Smart Grid Timeline-to-Date 2009 1970s 2006 2007 2008 2010 2011 2012 AMI TOAN Electric Vehicle Pilot Program Flagstaff Pioneer Battery Storage TOU Rates DOMS Peak Solutions Home Energy Information Pilot The major launch of APS’s Smart Grid strategy occurred in 2006 with AMI … followed by Flagstaff

  6. AMI / Smart Meters • Deployment of nearly 1,000,000 “Smart Meters” by end of 2013 • Over 85% way completed with meters in Phoenix, Prescott, Yuma, and Flagstaff • More than 890,000 meters deployed • Remote meter reading, connect/disconnect, and rate change • Over 1,000,000 field orders avoided to date • Receiving more than 23,000,000 intervals per day • Greater customer information and flexibility • Operational and planning benefits

  19. Renewable Energy Standard (RES) • 15% of Retail Sales by 2025 • < 70% from Utility Scale • > 30% from Distributed Energy • 50% from Residential • 50% from Non-Residential • Within the year, > 250 MWs of DE • Utility Scale PV • 200 MWs Approved • Schools & Governmental Program • ~15 MWs Approved • 280 MWs of Concentrating Solar • ~ 1,000 MWs Owned or In Development

  20. Utility Technologies APS is piloting and/or implementing a number of advanced technologies in order to improve overall system performance • Predictive/Preventative: • Transformer Oil Analysis Notification (TOAN) • Substation Health Equipment Monitoring • Distribution Asset Monitoring • Distribution Fault Anticipation • Phasor Measurement Units

  21. Utility Technologies • Restorative/Post-Event: • Self-Isolating / Self-Healing Feeders • Distribution Automation (remote supervisory control) • Outage Notification • Performance Optimization: • Battery Storage • Integrated Volt/Var Control • Conservation Voltage Reduction

  22. Flagstaff Area Pilots • Community Power Project: • 125 Residential Installations (438 kW) • Cromer Elementary School (400 kW) • 325 kW Ground Mount • 75 kW Rooftop • Doney Park Renewable Energy Site (500kW) • Battery Energy Storage (500 kW – 1.5MWh) • Elden Sub (bulk storage, peak shaving, operational control) • Doney Park (renewable variability, capacity firming)

  23. Flagstaff Area Pilots • Department of Energy Grant: • High Penetration Study (Beginning of Phase 3) • Smart Circuit Technologies: • Distribution Fault Anticipation • Four Feeders and Two Subs (CQ12&14, PR2&6) • Fault Location Isolation Service Restoration (FLISR) • Ten Automated Feeders • Peer-to-Peer Communication & Logic • S&C’s “IntelliTeam” IT2 / SG

  24. Metro Area Pilots • Pioneer (Objectives): • Test a second FLISR control strategy • Demonstrate Volt/Var Optimization • Position SC technologies as a qualified measure towards meeting EE Standard (22% by 2020) • Scope: • Integrated Volt Var Control (IVVC) • Pioneer 17, 20, 21, & 22 • Mazatzal 2 & 6 • Conservation Volt Reduction (CVR) • FLISR Technology (Self-Isolating) • Pioneer 12, 20 and Gavilan Peak 41 • Cooper’s Yukon Centralized Logic • 3rd Party Testing & Validation

  25. Home Energy Information Pilot • Home Area Network (Residential EE & DR): • Five Program Types being tested: • Peak Event Pricing with Enabling Technology • In-Home Displays • Direct Load Control • Smart Phone & PC App • Pre-Pay Energy Service • Leveraging AMI & broadband communications • Targeting both consumption and demand reduction • Rigorous assessment of technology & consumer behavior • Up to 2,800 customers • Pre-Pay launched in July 2012 • Full Deployment in Q2 of 2013

  26. Summary • Combination of utility technologies & customer facing programs • Preventative/Predictive, Restoration/Post-event, & Performance Optimization • Utilize pilots and small scale deployments • Leverage existing systems and investments • Cross collaboration and support are essential!!!
