AMI, a Key to Achieve Smart Grid • DoE’s “Smart Grid System Report” published in Jul 09. • Report specifies 6 main characteristics and 20 main metrics/activities to measure smart grid approaches/ achievement • At least 5 metrics relate to advanced metering: advanced meters • dynamic pricing • data sharing • demand response • power quality
Smart Grid Metrics Ref: DoE Smart Grid System Report Note: “Emphasis” and “Mention” are determined based on interviews with major utilities around the country .
Smart Grid Demonstration32 projects nationwide, announced 25 Nov 09 “These demo projects will further our knowledge and understanding of what works best and delivers the best results for the smart grid, setting the course for a modern grid…”
Smart Grid Demonstration32 projects nationwide, announced 25 Nov 09 • $1.65 B (ARRA covers $620 M) • First phase to involve 50 utilities, effecting 100 million customers • Smart metering, energy storage, T&D monitoring, renewable energy, etc. examples: • SCE: $40.13M, focused on interoperability, technologies interactions in metering • SCE: $25M, wind power, storage • NYSE&G: $29.56M, 150MW energy storage demo • Beacon Power Corp: $24M, 20MW frequency regulator (power quality)
Latest AMI Activities SCE: 5.3 M, ConEd: 4.3 M, Centerpoint Energy: 2 M San Francisco Public Utilities Commission: 170,000 water meters, major goal: detecting water leaks UK energy providers focus on in-home display, with customer’s choice of data to be displayed EPB Energy, 170,000 meters: reducing outage minutes (outages reduced by 750,000 minutes in 2009) KCP&L and ConEd: use of PowerWatch (color-coded maps), and CenterPoint Energy with Energy-InSightSM to determine outage areas Duke Energy: 3.9M meters, renewable energy, automating the grid by using meter data
Voluntary time-based-tariff programs in: CT, CA, NY,… PG&E: 4 million solid state meters thus far (remote communication not in place yet) Only ~ 5% of electric meters in the US, ~ 7M are “smart” (up from 1% in 2006) Largest increase of advanced meters: Florida Various MDM and network companies are joining forces to offer one stop shop to utilities Latest AMI Activities
