A KEMA working description has also been offered
Smart Grid is the networked application of digital technology to the energy delivery and consumption segments of the utility industry. More specifically, it incorporates advanced applications and use of distributed energy resources, communications, information management, and automated control technologies to modernize, optimize, and transform electric power infrastructure.
The Smart Grid vision seeks to bring together these technologies to make the grid self-healing, more reliable, safer, and more efficient, as well as empower customers to use electricity more efficiently.
It also seeks to contribute to a sustainable future with improvements to national security, economic growth, and climate change.

Why does our grid need to become “smart” or “intelligent”?• Our electric generation, transmission, and distribution infrastructure is
rapidly aging and out of synch with new digital technology• Core utility workers needed to operate and maintain the grid are also
aging and getting more difficult to replace• Central generation energy production is becoming more capital
intensive, leading to an increase in distributed generation resources• While T&D spending is increasing, the allowed rate of return will require
greater focus on longer-term horizons and greater project benefits• Carbon legislation is on the horizon and new technologies and practices
are needed to meet our sustainable needs
Running today's digital society through yesterday's grid is like running the Internet through an old telephone switchboard Reid Detchon, Energy Future Coalition
12
Our electric power infrastructure is rapidly aging and in need of replacement and increased maintenance
• Average transformer age is 30+ years
• Average circuit breaker age is 35+ years
• New equipment installations peaked in
early 70’s
Source: KEMA research and analysis; “Implementing New Technology in an Aged Infrastructure: Case Study of Incremental Automation”, Willard, S., Transmission & Distribution Construction, Operation and Live-Line Maintenance, 2006. ESMO 2006. IEEE 11th International Conference
Like many power system devices, studies have shown that a 1% failure rate associated with newer transformers increases to 3% and much higher when they reach decades of use
13
Our grids are also out of synch with new digital technology and advances in computing architecture
• Improving grid reliability has become a major concern – particularly with the prolonged nature of recent, large-scale power outages
• Control systems are antiquated, providing limited automation and ability to “see the whole grid”• Minimal system condition information is available to provide greater preventative maintenance

Core utility workers needed to operate and maintain the grid are also aging and getting more difficult to replace
Trends• There is an increasing gap in supply and
demand for skilled craft positions –especially line workers, engineers, pipe fitters, and plant operators
• As many as 60% of select positions are retirement eligible over the next 5 years
• As the workforce ages, the ability to source, recruit, and retain replacement talent is becoming more difficult – only 1250 hired last year in key positions
• Even if workers stayed in their positions past retirement age (due to economic impacts), hiring rates would still need to increase by 30% or more

New, electric power plant construction is under pressure due to rapid rises in near-term construction costs
Source: Associated General Contractors of America
Trends• Many raw materials (e.g., steel,
copper, cement) and other inputs into utility construction projects are rapidly increasing lately due to:
– High global demand (e.g., China)
– Lower U.S. dollar valuation– Increased labor costs
• Prices for other finished components – switchgear, heat exchangers, pumps, drives – are also increasing at 10 to 30% annually since 2003
• Manufacturing constraints are leading to increased lead times on numerous components, particularly large turbines
16
As a result, overall central station power generation is becoming less prevalent, even with growth in renewables

Observations
• Consistent declines in new capacity and increased cancellations have helped absorb early 2000s overbuild
• Wind energy now represents the most dominant type of plant being brought online
• With uncertainty over emerging renewable policy mandates, many coal and gas plants are being cancelled (especially near cities) and replaced with plans for nuclear, wind, and other renewables
• However, the intermittency of solar and wind will require greater ancillary services to offset lower capacity and availability factors

Consumer sentiment and fuel prices will dictate how rapidly PHEVs will be adopted as a viable
supply/ demand option for the smart grid
Anticipated PHEV Impacts• Potential impacts to the U.S. grid are significant:
– 1.5 kW (avg.) X 256M vehicles = 384 GWs– Power generation today = 986 GWs
• Vehicle can potentially provide energy storage in response to appropriate pricing plans
• Intelligent plugs would communicate with the electric utility to automate nationwide billing and control
• Battery storage also can provide spinning reserves and ancillary services
• New business models may exist for utilities and others to provide secondary battery markets/swaps
• External firms such as Google are investing in PHEV demonstration projects

When does the “Smart” grid become truly intelligent?
Intelligent Grid Characteristics
• Sensors and controls become truly autonomous, driven by self-correcting, intelligent algorithms, operationally embedded
• Utilities and energy providers are making the investment decision a priority, with intelligent controls a design standard for asset management
• New stakeholders and market participants offer a larger array of new products and services
• Regulators and policy makers enable effective cost recovery schemes, not tied to the current regimes
• Consumers demand the flexibility and fully engage as active participants

However, implementation will be fraught with a number of key barriers
Interoperability and standards will be vital to full systems integration for smart grid components
There is a strong interest in enhanced levels of quality assurance for smart grid devices
With this increased connectivity, a number of security concerns are emerging
Regulatory acceptance and validation of the business case value
Consumer acceptance of the value proposition
Barrier to Smart Grid Acceptance
Barrier Description Stakeholder Activity
• Numerous industry working groups (e.g., GridWise, OpenAMI, OpenHAN)
• Federal focus – DOE, NIST, and FERC
• Several utilities performing deeper financial analysis and risk management
• Includes on-site audits and supplier assessments
• Need to avoid media over-generalization• funding criteria suggestions to DOE• AMI-SEC System Security Requirements
• Proceedings underway in numerous states, including IN, NY, and OH
• FERC-NARUC Smart Grid Collaborative
• Various consumer advocacy groups• National chains and large customer involvement

KEMA’s experience has shown that select factors will enable greater Demand Response program effectiveness• Strong policymaker priority placed on demand response• Sufficient coordination between energy efficiency and
demand response program design and implementation• Simplified pricing options for policymakers and consumers
to compare/evaluate• Avoidance of default service rates that limit customer
exposure to time-differentiated rates and price transparency• Rates based on actual, rather than average, load profiles• Elimination or absence of retail/wholesale price caps• Appropriate incentives for emergency DR participation • Clarity and certainty around utility cost recovery and rate of
return incentives for DR investments• Consistency of interoperability and interconnection
requirements• Rules that facilitate access to meter data for non-utility DR
market participants
Demand Response is a
primary benefit for recovery of the Smart Grid/ AMI
investment
32
Regulators, in some cases, are also showing resistance to accept the benefits of smart grid or AMI
For some regulators, a compelling business case includes a greater
focus on societal benefits:
• Decreased customer costs due to improved outage management
• Improved environmental and health conditions• Better timed and better managed T&D system
upgrades• Lower overall wholesale market prices due to
increased load management efforts• Improved safety and reduced accidents due to
improvements in outage management/ response
The Energy Policy Act of 20051 established that: “Each State regulatory authority shall conduct an investigation and issue a decision on whether or not it is appropriate for electric utilities to provide and install time-based meters and communications devices for each of their customers”

Today vs. Tomorrow• Current utility-driven total solution and
systems integration will morph into a more complex integration of multiple technologies
• Utility-provided, long-term financing for capital intensive transmission and distribution (T&D) infrastructure remains the same, but the utility will also have to manage technology obsolescence for the customer
• The utility manages the supply chain for customer value, but customer value is defined more broadly than before
• The utility “obligation to serve”becomes an obligation to offer solutions to all classes of customers
34
Key success factors for the Utility of the Future• Manage the process of organization change: align leadership and employees• Product Management requires implementing “game changing” products and business models
– Seeking increased market share via identification of, and exceeding, unserved customer needs
– Anticipating, driving, and exploiting technology change• Time to Market – Minimize the product development cycle• Exploit the Internet and Disintermediation – Leveling the playing field from new entrants and lower-capitalized start-ups with new technology offerings
• Democratic Innovation – Seeking greater customer-driven advances• Niches of One – Customization of products and service offerings• Operational Excellence – Defined by customer expectations, rather than regulatory requirements
• Right Business Model - Effective supply chain management and perhaps outsourcing non-critical everything
• Brand Management and Positioning – Knowing how well the brand stands up against incumbents from other industries, such as Google, Cisco, Home Depot and Sears

Phasor Measurement Units offer greater visibility into grid system operations and assessment
• Traditional SCADA has provided sufficient operational data (e.g., bus voltages; line, generator, and transformer flows) every 2 to 4 seconds, offering a steady state view into the power system behavior
• With Phasor technology and Phasor Measurement Units (PMU), we now have additional information on:
– voltage & current phase angles (monitor angle-of-separation)
– frequency rate-of-change (identify generation loss)
• PMU data are time-synchronized and taken many times a second (e.g., 30 samples/second) offering a dynamic visibility into the power system behavior, as well as fine-tuning dynamic models
Vision...The vision of the North American
SynchroPhasor Initiative is to improve power system reliability through wide-area measurement, monitoring and
control.

U.S. Renewable Energy Nameplate Capacity Additions(excluding hydropower or capacity reductions)
Market Trends
• Renewables represent nearly 11% of the total U.S. generating summer capacity
• Growth is primarily driven by wind and solar – 2001 to 2007 CAGRs include:
– Wind = 30.7%– Solar/PV = 29.5%– Concentrating Solar = 2.4%– Biomass = 1.4% – Geothermal = 0.7%
• In 2007, renewable energy accounted for over 35% of all new capacity installations in the U.S.
61
Renewable Portfolio Standards will also have a profound impact to overall grid planning and smart grid investments
RPS Challenges to the Grid
• Timeliness of transmission siting and permitting requirements, relative to energy supply deployment
• Sufficient modeling of intermittent supply capability and reliability
• Equity treatment of line extension capital requirements between transmission owner vs. energy suppliers

Key Issues
• President Obama favors GHG legislation
• Cap-and-trade has majority support over tax-based plans
• Bill strength hinges on U.S. Senate Democrats, who favor stronger measures
• Will require equitable treatment on initial cap allocations and “grandfathering” of controls
• Also need sufficient market controls for cap trading
63
Why Renewable Generation (Wind, etc.)?• Fastest growing source of power generation• Widely supported as a means to reduce the
dependency on petroleum• Accepted and subsidized by state and national
governments• Exhibits different characteristics than traditional
power stations
64
Wind Generation - different characteristics• Wind (fuel) is intermittent (availability component)• Wind generator are rarely a direct connected synchronous
generator (inertia component) • Wind generators – may not always be available to participate in
primary or secondary frequency control (marginal cost and wind speed components)
• Some wind generators (earlier versions):– Can not provide reactive power or static/dynamic voltage
control– Did not have the capability to remain on-line through a voltage
dip• Dynamic stability may deteriorate as the total percentage of power
from wind resources increase (wind generators may be able to respond quicker)
• Advances in power electronics (e.g., SVCs, STATCOMs) and storage helps to mitigate these differences
65
Why is Storage being made an integral issue for Smart Grids and Renewables?• Storage is now considered a tool and
component of Smart Grid— Chart shows where storage is being utilized in
smart grids
• What type of applications is storage being applied to?— Integration of Renewables into Grid can
help maintain grid operations with large percentages of wind on the grid
(ramping – diurnal problems)
— Ancillary Services Fast response capabilities allow devices to perform better than current devices
(Increased need for regulation)
— PHEVs – Convergence of Electric & Automotive Industries
(can aggregation solve problems)

Storage can provide the answer, but work still remains
• Storage is the answer for renewable integration...
...but questions do remain on whether it will be ready for the expected increases in renewable generation
• Why is Storage an answer?— Low emission technology that, with some technologies, can be sited quickly and in a
“distributed” fashion
— Alternative to traditional fossil generation plants thus preventing the renewable integration needs from increasing emissions
For regulation, this may be a significant issue
• Multiple MWs are going to be required to match the Renewable Policy Goals— Can the technologies be produced fast enough?

One of the areas of greatest focus will seek to further progress on interoperability standards & security measures
Selected Smart Grid Working Groups– Standards Development Organizations (e.g.,
ANSI)– GridWise Architecture Council– GridWise Alliance – Interoperability Work
Group– OpenAMI– OpenHAN– UtilityAMI– Open Smart Grid– Enterprise AMI– Edison Electric Institute– National Electrical Manufacturers Association– OpenDR– AMI-SEC– CIM Modeling group
“Well-designed standards and protocols are needed to make Smart Grid areality. DOE, NIST and FERC have been working with each other and with other Federal agencies to ensure progress, and those efforts will continue.”1
U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)
• Managing smart grid grants• Developing/operating smart grid
clearinghouse
• Coordinating framework development• Making recommendations to FERC
• Implementing smart grid interoperability standards
Note 1: Testimony of FERC Commissioner Suedeen G. Kelly, before the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources,United States Senate, March 3, 2009
70
One industry organization seeking to address security concerns is AMI-SEC
AMI-SEC Task Force– Composed of utility and vendor
participants
– Mission: Develop technical specifications for utilities and device manufacturers to address AMI security vulnerabilities
– AMI-SEC will produce the process by which a vendor can certify a device as a “UtilityAMICompliant Security Device”
AMI
ThirdParty
Customer Utility
Entities which interact with AMI meters: customers, utilities, and third parties such as contractors or other meters.
AMI-SEC’s mission is to determine how this interaction is managed securely
71
AMI-SEC’s process goals are already articulated• Protect all Smart Grid services from malicious attack and unintended adverse cyber and
physical events that threaten the mission of the service (i.e., security events)
• Ensure that sufficient information about a security event is available when and where it is needed to support the decision making necessary to protect the mission of the affected Smart Grid service
• Ensure the integrity, availability, and the confidentiality of the security and survivability services and mechanisms used to protect the Smart Grid services
• Prevent security events associated with a Smart Grid service from contributing to or complicating the safety and protection of personnel, stakeholders, and stakeholder services, and the electrical system
• Do not allow any Smart Grid service or its associated technology (e.g., communications networks and gateways) to be used as a stepping stone or conduit for attacks (or amplifying the effects of attacks) on other Smart Grid services, end users, external service providers (e.g., cell phone networks, ISPs), or any other interconnected entity
• Smart Grid services shall not amplify the adverse effects of any accident, natural disaster, or human error
• Provide sufficient evidence to support the assurance of justifiable confidence (i.e., trust) in the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of Smart Grid services
72
Let’s Not Forget About the NERC CIP Requirements
• Unlike the new standards that will be required to ensure the security of the electric grid as a
result of the implementation of the Smart Grid and smart devices, the NERC CIP standards,
and the NERC 1200 requirements before them, have been with us for over 5 years.
• The NERC CIP requirements are targeted at protecting cyber assets where the loss of those
assets has the potential to impact the Bulk Electric System (BES) as defined by NERC
• CIP-002 through CIP-009 provide a cyber security framework for the identification and
protection of critical cyber assets that are critical to the reliable operation of the BES.
• Based on previous security research from the National Institute of Standards and Technology
(NIST), which has been working closely with NSA and the Department of Defense for many
years in this area.
