It needs to be modernized. As we go into an exciting new period of American history, we want the most modern electricity grid for our people… we need more investment; we need research and development…” President Bush September 2003 “When the lights go out, modern life as we know it grinds to a sudden halt. Transportation is interrupted, communications fail, water systems shut down, factory work is disrupted, food spoils, businesses lose money, and people are inconvenienced and even endangered. ” Secretary Abraham April 2004

Eastern Interconnection Phasor Project Plan Phase I (Completed 12/04) • 20 Instruments installed • Resolve major communications issues • Transfer software tools to users • Establish relationships EIPP Phase II (2007- ) • More than 350 Instruments • Situational awareness and state estimator app’s realized, automatic control app’s beginning • Vendors participating at all levels • Inexpensive instruments and communications available Phase II (2006) • ~50 Instruments • Situational awareness and state estimator app’s demonstrated • All major corridors covered • Data available to research community to begin work on projected benefits
Expected Benefits from EIPP Project • Improved wide area visibility • Improved real time monitoring tools for reliability coordinators and system operators • Improved ability to monitor grid dynamics and stability for reliability management • Time-synchronized data for system assessments and post disturbance analysis • Improvements in state estimation • Dynamic system ratings for improved reliability and market performance • Public-private industry collaboration to develop new technologies and systems for modernizing the electric grid
Entergy owns and operates 30,000 MW of capacity 2nd largest nuclear generator in the US Entergy has 2.6 million customers Entergy has annual revenues of over $10 Billion and approximately 14,000 employees
Entergy PMU Locations 10 Sites are operational 4 sites coming on-line May 2005
Analysis Tool Development: • Currently Exploring Options for Use of Phasor Data Including: • Dynamic Line Loading • Real-Time Visualization of System Stability • Optimal PMU Placement • State Estimator Integration • Designing with Eye to Integration of Industry Recommendations • Open Architecture is Key
