5. 5 Sea Change in the Network Consumer engagement with resources to solve power issues locally Two-way power flow in Distribution As prices increase, local renewables will increase in residential, commercial, and industrial Imperative to transform from passive to active control in Distribution New ways for Distribution to become a Transmission resource

6. 6 Smart Grid Characteristics The Smart Grid is “transactive” and will: Enable active participation by consumers Accommodate all generation and storage options Enable new products, services and markets Provide power quality for the digital economy Optimize asset utilization and operate efficiently Anticipate & respond to system disturbances (self-heal) Operate resiliently against attack and natural disaster Updated 02/25/2008 …the enabler

7. 7 Interoperability Challenges Cyber and interoperability standards Merging of legacy and Smart Grid components Technology obsolescence Network congestion Integration of variety of technologies/vendors –Communications, sensors, data transmission Data management Privacy Two-way communications and power flow Updated 02/25/2008

8. West Virginia Smart Grid Implementation Plan (WV SGIP) If you come to a fork in the road, take it. - Yogi Berra

9. 9 West Virginia Smart Grid Implementation Plan Address the role of coal in Smart Grid Support economic development in State of West Virginia Only state-wide Smart Grid implementation plan completed Only second Smart Grid study to be published in the nation $540K project jointly funded by NETL, RDS, Allegheny Power, AEP, State of West Virginia, WVU, and DOE OE Results describe the approach and value proposition of implementing Smart Grid in West Virginia Cost & benefit analysis compare the state of current electricity grid and future Smart Grid in West Virginia

11. 11 Key Facts About West Virginia 991,000 electric customers (142,000 commercial and industrial) 16,500 MW of generation (90% coal-fired & 90MWh) Over 47,000 miles of distribution circuits 5,900 miles of transmission lines 58M MWh traded outside the state 32M MWh used inside the state AEP and Allegheny Energy serve 98% of the customers SAIDI (with storms) = 439 min/customer/yr National Avg SAIDI= 120 min/customer/yr SAIFI = 1.52 Storm SAIFI = 0.45 NOx = 157K T/yr SOx = 456K T/yr CO2 = 87M T/yr Updated 02/25/2008

14. Final Results

15. 15 Proposed West Virginia Smart Grid Solutions SolutionScope Advanced Meter Infrastructure (AMI) All residential, commercial and industrial Customers represented by 998,317 meters IT Integration (IT) A CIS Upgrade to accommodate AMI and DR functionality & Outage Management Demand Response (DR) The aggregated sum of 104 MW of DR from Residential, Commercial and Industrial Customers Distribution Management System (DMS) The automated fault clearing & restoration of service, circuit monitoring and control of the Distribution System to include 707 circuits of 1107 total circuits Distributed Energy Resources (DER) 100MW of Base Generation, 800 MW of Peak Generation, 250 MW of Advanced Storage and 100 MW of Wind Resources all capable of being dispatched on demand

16. 16 Important Distinctions for WV Reductions in WV consumption go to exporting more energy –104MW of DR, doesn’t necessarily mean a reduction of generation. It likely means 104MW of increased export. –More efficient delivery system (reduced line losses) means more export. Benefits from reduced WV outages is higher than most states –Higher outage parameters (number and duration) are the overriding benefit potential of a WV Smart Grid Updated 02/25/2008
