Smart Grid Use Cases: Part 1

Conceptual Model

(i) the Power and Energy Layer, (ii) the Communication Layer and (iii) the

IT/Computer Layer. Layers (ii) and (iii) are enabling infrastructure platforms of

the Power and Energy Layer that makes the grid "smarter."

A next-generation electrical power system that is typified by the increased use of

communications and information technology in the generation, delivery and

consumption of electrical energy

Avista Utilities (Avista) Spokane Smart Circuit project aims:

to reduce energy losses and improve reliability and efficiency in the electricity distribution system while reducing the need for new generation facilities.

The project includes upgrading the distribution system by automating the management of the distribution grid and installing a rapid communications and

monitoring infrastructure.

New switches, capacitors, and sensors are being installed in substations and distribution circuits across the project area.

This equipment provides automated regulation of power quality, rapid response to grid disturbances, and improvements to distribution reliability.

A radio and fiber optic communications system integrates real-time data from grid sensors with the grid operators distribution management software platform.

The upgrades reduce the need for truck visits for system maintenance and operations and reduce costs and emissions.

Florida Power & Light Company, located in Miami, Florida, has been awarded $200 million in funding to develop a smarter, more efficient energy grid.

Installing over 2.6 million smart meters, 9,000 intelligent distribution devices, 45 phasors, and advanced monitoring equipment in over 270 substations.

By incorporating intelligence into the transmission, distribution and customer systems, the utility will be able to anticipate and respond to grid disturbances,

empower customers through alternative rate programs, and enable the integration

of renewable and on-site energy sources.

Project Summary:

ISO New England, Inc., located in Holyoke, Massachusetts, has been rewarded $3.7 million in federal funding to develop a smarter, more efficient

energy grid.

The U.S. Department of Energy chose ISO New England as one of 100 companies nationwide to receive federal stimulus funds as part of the American

Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.

The project started in 2010 and its focus is to install 30 synchrophasors and connect the independent systems operators in New England to increase

response time to real time system events and reduce congestion by being able

to collect and share synchrophasor and disturbance data with other regions for

wide area monitoring.

Equipment:

-Synchrophasor Communications Network-40 Phasor Measurement Units-Phasor Data Concentrators

Targeted Benefits:

-Reduced Wide-Scale Blackouts-Increased Electric Service Reliability
