Why A Smart Grid

  • Current power grid grew in patches from its early days

– Generations and distribution added as needed

  • Large scale power outages in last decade demonstrated vulnerability

– Cascading failures (domino effect) – Lack of communications between sub stations and utilities

  • Increasing threats to national security

– Physical damage & cyber attacks can cause massive outages

  • Changing nature of power sources

– Wind, solar represent a variable power source – uncertain supply

  • Changing nature of power loads

– PCs, LEDs, PV inverters, etc. introduce harmonics into the grid – Harmonics increases the stress on grid components and affect accuracy of meters

Low Demand Energy Emergency

Blue = Regular Demand Red = High Demand Usage (‘000s MWhr) Price ($/MW)

Utilities’ Problem:

  • Variable Demand
  • Variable Cost

Hour of the Day

slide-11
SLIDE 11

Renewables Make It Worse

From: California Energy Commission

With more renewables deployed, demand on grid decreases during the day and increases off hours

Increase variations in demand during a single day, between seasons and geographic regions

Impact on Managers/Owners

  • Variable pricing: TOU, ADR, Peak Demand, etc.
  • More complex rates
  • Emission reduction requirements
  • Demand response requirements
  • Need for price management
  • Need for carbon management

Bottom Line: Need New Energy Management Practices to Avoid Increased Energy Costs

slide-16
SLIDE 16

Resulting Uncertainties & Complexities

  • Time variable pricing
  • Complex rate structures
  • Variations in energy demand
  • Emission reduction requirements
  • Demand response requirements
  • Weather uncertainty
  • Variations in building activity
  • Multiple improvement options
  • Supply uncertainties: renewables
