Driving Grid Resilience Office of Electricity - Advanced Grid R&D Gil Bindewald Director, Advanced Grid R&D October 3, 2018
Office of Electricity The Office of Electricity (OE) provides national leadership to ensure that the Nation’s energy delivery system is secure, resilient and reliable. OE works to develop new technologies to improve the infrastructure that brings electricity into our homes, offices, and factories, and the federal and state electricity policies and programs that shape electricity system planning and market operations. energy.gov/oe 10
Electricity’s Role in Society Electricity plays a vital role to our economy and national security. Most Americans can not describe what it is or where it comes from. Yet, we know the impact that electricity plays on nearly all aspects of our lives: national security; health and welfare; communications; finance; transportation; food and water supply; heating, cooling, and lighting; computers and electronics; commercial enterprise; and even entertainment and leisure. 11
Key Elements of the Electric Power System The traditional electric power system was based on large-scale generation; centralized, one-way control; and passive loads. Four major components: • Load : Consumes electric power. • Generation : Produces electric power. • Transmission (and Distribution) : Transmits electric power from generation to load. • Control Centers : Coordinate generation and transmission assets for economy and reliability. 12
System Operations Focused on Reliability • Adequacy – Ensuring that there is enough generation and transmission capacity to meet current demand and projected future load • Stability – Maintaining the quality of supply by avoiding dynamic disturbances (e.g., voltage fluctuations) • Security – Meeting demand and covering contingencies (e.g., reserve margin for capacity) 13
Key Trends Driving Grid Transformation • Changing mix and characteristics of electricity generation sources that are shifting electricity generation from relatively few large central station plants to many smaller and sometimes variable generators • Changing demand loads in retail electricity markets resulting from demographic and economic shifts; the adoption of more energy-efficient, end-use technologies; growing consumer participation; broader electrification; and use of electronic converters (rather than induction motors and other types of loads with favorable inertia and droop curves) • Integration of smart grid technologies for managing complex power systems, driven by the availability of advanced technologies that can better manage progressively challenging loads • Growing expectations for a resilient and responsive power grid in the face of more frequent and intense weather events, cyber and physical attacks, and interdependencies with natural gas and water systems • Aging electricity infrastructure that requires new technologies to enable better failure detection, upgrade capabilities, and improve cybersecurity https://www.energy.gov/sites/prod/files/2017/03/f34/qtr-2015-chapter3.pdf 14
