3. Synchrophasor Value Proposition NASPI technical report funded by DOE, due out in initial version in October 2015 Purpose – Help synchrophasor investors and managers justify projects by itemizing the benefits of synchrophasor technology and showing how to quantify and estimate these benefits Organized by categories of benefits, not by applications, to avoid double-counting – Reliability – Cost savings – Grid efficiency and throughput – Environmental Identifies relevant metrics and benefits estimation and calculation methods 3

4. Value Proposition examples Reliability benefit -- Preventing outages Metrics – Number of major and minor outages avoided – Reduced number of customers affected – Reduced unserved time due to outages Cost savings benefit – Labor cost reductions Metrics – $ value of worker hours saved – Calendar time saved from better use of labor Environmental benefits – Increased delivery and use of renewable generation Metrics – incremental renewable MWh – Net decrease in fossil generation – Net decrease in fossil fuel consumed 4

5. Synchrophasor Starter Kit Purpose – Collect key information and resources on synchrophasor system design and implementation into a single place Who does what – subject matter experts pulling together short descriptions that will be compiled, edited and packaged by NASPI Timing – roll-out of initial SSK at October NASPI meeting; future updates as additional material becomes available or improved 5

7. NASPInet 2.0 Study Purpose – identify basic architectures and use cases for current and future synchrophasor systems to serve future synchrophasor system needs. – Assess current network performance – Consider future performance requirements – Consider emerging network technologies and models Who does what – Work funded by DOE – Work performed by PNNL technical staff – Expert Technical Review Ctt advising on content and scope Timing – Tasks 1 & 2 work ready for public review in fall 2016 7

8. Cyber-security best practices for synchrophasor systems Purpose – create detailed guidelines that can be used to produce a cyber-secure synchrophasor system that can be used for mission-critical purposes. – Reflect best technical and institutional best practices – Build on existing guidance (NERC CIP, DOE C2M2, NISTIR 7628, IEEE-PES 240, and so on) Who does what – Work funded by DOE-OE – Work performed by PNNL technical staff – Expert Technical Review Ctt advising on content and scope Timing – work ready for public review in spring 2016 8

9. Phasor Applications Requirements Task Force NASPI Task Force set up to address impacts of PMU data and data quality on applications. PNNL and NIST have contributed experts to a focused project to develop standard metrics and methodology for how to measure and assess this. Data issues to be assessed from the application down (including skew and filters within PMU (and PT/CT) and errors and drop-outs introduced in data delivery Define metrics and measures for how to characterize data quality and availability and application performance Methodology -- given knowledge of which data matter for a specific application and what the application is supposed to do, determine a performance envelope beyond which performance is inadequate Test this on a specific application Share progress with PARTF members in telecon 10/9/15 Once standard approach figured out, PARTF members can apply it to different applications 9

10. Next Meetings NASPI Work Group – Chicago, Westin Michigan Avenue, October 14-15 (in conjunction with CIGRE Grid of the Future conference October 11-13) International Synchrophasor Symposium – Atlanta, March 2016 – Co-sponsors – NASPI, IEA ISGAN Annex 6, EPRI, CIGRE, IEEE-PES – Technical workshop on data quality 10
