Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) The Smart Grid Move

Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) A KEMA working description  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.

Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) System Reliability & Customer Expectations  Improving grid reliability has been a major concern Recent power outages  Limited automation and inability to “see the whole grid”  Improved Monitoring, Controls and Integrated Information Systems and Operations

Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) Intermittent and Distributed Resources Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS)  Significant increase in the penetration of intermittent (Wind, Solar) resources is expected  Intermittent resources are creating a major challenge for systems operators Forecasting, Scheduling, Trading, Balancing, Regulation, Settlement

Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) Enterprise Level Information Integration “Operational” Data  Data that represents the real-time status, performance, and loading of power system equipment  This is the fundamental information used by system operators to monitor and control the power system  Examples: Circuit breaker open/closed status Line current (amperes) Bus voltages Transformer loading (real and reactive power) Substation alarms (high temperature, low pressure, intrusion)

Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) Enterprise Level Information Integration “Non-Operational” Data  Data items for which the primary user is someone other than the system operators (engineering, maintenance, etc.)  Note that operators are usually interested in some data that is classified as non-operational  Examples of “Non-Operational” data: Digital fault recorder records (waveforms) (protection engineer) Circuit breaker contact wear indicator (maintenance) Dissolved gas/moisture content in oil (maintenance)  Information for which the primary user is group that maintains the substation monitoring and control equipment: Protective relay technicians/relay engineers SCADA/RTU/ personnel IT/Security personnel  Examples: Protective relay settings SCADA data point mapping IED Passwords

Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) A number of collaborations are seeking to bridge the gap in identifying and/or specifying broad- based, common communications protocols. ConsortiumObjectives/Focus Principle Supporters Interoperable devices at all levels within the grid – from utility to consumer Advanced sensor, communication, control, & IT systems for real-time operation/response Govt - Dept of Energy, Pacific NW Labs Utilities – AEP, BPA, ConEd Vendors – GE, IBM Facilitate broad adoption of AMI & demand response Recommend “open standards” for AMI through info/data models, reference designs, and guidelines Diminish stakeholder risk concerns & foster innovation Vendors – Cellnet, Comverge Utilities – PSE&G, SCE, SDG&E Consultants – KEMA, SAIC Create a "self healing" power system capable of handling emergency and disaster situations Develop open, standards-based set of blueprints for integrating power and communications systems to improve grid reliability, quality, and security GE and EPRI (founders) Vendors –Lucent, Systems Integration Specialists, Electrotek Concepts, & Hypertek Selected Broad-Based Consortia These organizations are loosely intertwined, leaving the key question of a clear roadmap for the AMI industry overall.
