  1. Remote System Architecture:Designs and Concepts Jito Coleman TDX Power

  2. Why Architecture Matters ? • It provides an overview • It describes the configuration • It allows for system differentiation • It is the image How are we doing?

  3. Why Architecture Matters ? It’s Image ! It Sells !

  4. Why Architecture/Image Matters ? • It communicates • Policy - Regulatory • Finance - Technical • Citizens • It defines • It visionary • It empowers

  5. And we start with Penetration Penetrating What? • Seriously PC Challenged High, Medium, Low Penetration - Of WHAT? • A technically driven term that no longer fits our needs.

  6. Terminology Suggestion • Renewable Contribution • % of Energy per Year • Focus on our primary value proposition • Simple to understand • Good for key constituents • Policy, Regulatory, Financial • Citizens

  7. Terminology Suggestion • Renewable Fraction • Renewable Capacity vs Average Load • Currently 1% to over 200% • Easy to understand • More meaningful, more definitive • Good for key constituents • Policy, Regulatory, Financial, Technical • Citizens

  8. SmartGrid • Has Big Buzz • Big Umbrella to cover Big Promises • Isn’t this what we are doing ?

  9. Here’s an Image that Sell ?

  10. SmartGrid Issues • Complex Generation Dispatch • Significant Renewable Contribution • Dispatchable Load Control • Energy Storage including EVs • Advanced Metering / Data Processing • Regulatory Revisioning • New Financial Mechanisms

  11. What are we doing ? Our Architectures are SmartGrids ONSTERIODS ! ! ! We Need To Own Their Image.

  12. SmartGrid could be a Key In our Major Battlegrounds Policy Regulatory Financial SmartGrid makes us mainstream

  13. Boulder: SmartGrid City • Solid American Example • Utility and Government Promotion • $100 million program • Good Image Big Hype • 4 Significant Initiatives

  14. Boulder: SmartGrid City • Transformation of existing metering infrastructure to a robust, dynamic electric system communications network, providing real-time, high-speed, two-way communication throughout the distribution grid; Added Fiber Optic network

  15. Boulder: SmartGrid City • Conversion of substations to "smart" substations capable of remote monitoring, near real-time data and optimized performance; Web based Metering at 3 Substations

  16. Boulder: SmartGrid City • At the customer's invitation, installation of programmable in-home control devices and the necessary systems to fully automate home energy use; 24,000 Smart Meters

  17. Boulder: SmartGrid City • Integration of infrastructure to support easily dispatched distributed generation technologies (such as plug-in hybrid electric vehicles with vehicle-to-grid technology; battery systems; wind turbines; and solar panels). Well nothing dramatic yet !

  18. Sand Point, AK • 700 kW average electrical load • 1 MW of wind turbines: 2 - V39’s • 750 kW of dispatchable heat load • Automated diesel controls • Web based data and control

  19. Sand Point, AK: SmartGrid City • Significant Renewable Contribution • 40% of Electrical Load • 200,000 gal reduction • 15,000 gal of heating fuel reduction • Renewable Fraction: 140% • Dispatchable Loads • Automated Generation Dispatch • SCADA and Web Based Controls

  20. Sand Point: SmartGrid City • Complex Generation Dispatch • Significant Renewable Contribution • Dispatchable Load Control • Energy Storage including EVs • Advanced Metering / Data Processing • Regulatory Revisioning • New Financial Mechanisms

  21. Who’s building the next SmartGrid City?
