  2. Agenda Smart Grid Initiatives – Tsunami of DataSmart Grid landscape from IT perspective Spatial Information – as a enabler Recommended Approach Case Studies Author Santosh Reddy P Assistant General Manager Infotech Enterprises Limited Santosh.Patlolla@infotech-enterprises.com Co-Author Sunil Kotagiri Consultant Infotech Enterprises Limited Sunil.Kotagiri@infotech-enterprises.com

  3. Smart Grid • Saves energy, reduces cost, and increases reliability • Minimizes carbon footprint and reduces emissions • Increasing focus on renewables • Peak load management • Reduces outages, improving efficiency • Reduction of aggregate technical and commercial (AT&C) losses • Consumerizing energy technology

  4. Spatial Information – Smart Grid Enabler Smart Grid Market Growth 2009-2015 Capital Expenditure: Smart-grid spending to hit about $200 billion by 2015 Source: Zpryme, GIA The potential of spatial information is unleashed How do we leverage existing investments and reduce expenditures?

  5. Smart Grid – Tsunami of Data • Tsunami of data from various systems (smart meters, sensors…) • Multiple independent systems • Need to convert data into valuable information • Establish single source of truth

  6. Spatial Information Foundation for Smart Grid Operations Information • Complete, positionally accurate, connected, consistent, up-to-date geospatial information • Traditional way of looking at spatial information needs to change

  7. Example – Completeness Issue Incomplete information – assets, planimetric base, etc. Inefficient capacity and network planning Delay in response to evolving business needs Street Network A European utility paid a penalty of over $3 million for failing to provide service connections within a stipulated period of time Service Network

  8. Example – Positional Accuracy Issue Accurate placement of asset features with respect to their field position Unmet statutory safety regulations Operational delays increase costs Restoration delays impact customer satisfaction Between 1986 and 2001, there were 2,159 incidents, which caused 256 billion dollars in property damage - United States Office of Pipeline Safety Cable Inside ROW Cable Outside ROW

  9. Example – Consistency Issue Correct information across multiple systems – street address Reduces operational efficiencies Erroneous analysis and reports A leading Australian utility estimated that the benefits of a one-off spend of $1 million to standardize street addresses across its various core business systems would exceed $8 million per annum

  10. Example – Connectivity Issue Topological property referring to the inter-relationships between geographical assets – graphical, logical Incorrect fault prediction leading to unlocated calls Performance levels impact duration and frequency of interruptions (CAIFI/SAIFI/CAIDI/SAIDI) An electric utility was fined $4.6 million for its poor response to the ice storm that left all of its 28,500 customers without power Wrong Connectivity - Industrial Consumers Connected to S/S no.1394 Instead of S/S no. 655

  11. Recommended Solution Assessment • Review ‘as-is’ State • Gap Analysis • Business Case • Road Map • Smart Data (SD) rulebase • Measurement parameters • Assessment toolkit Transformation • Workshops • Source Data Acquisition • Tools Configuration • Data Consolidation • Transformation Toolkit-iGEMsTM, TruShiftTM& Knowledge Management System

  12. Case Study – Network Planning & Operations • An award winning EGIS project helped a utility to reduce design cycle times and improve meter-to-cash collections • Helped reduce aggregate technical and commercial losses from 48.1% to 18.5% • Direct savings derived out of this project: $323,000 in the first year

  13. Case Study – Asset Management • Spatial data consolidation helped improve the asset management of a US-based Fortune 500 energy services company • Centralized access to asset data resulting in increased productivity and reduced costs • Estimated savings on a one call ticket management of $1,000,000 per year

  14. Case Study – Outage Management • Integration of GIS with OMS, DMS and mobile applications enabled a major power utility to: • Deploy field crews faster • Reduce restoration after supply complaints

  15. Case Study – Demand Response • Developed a spatially enabled DR dashboard by integrating MDM, ERP and GIS systems for: • Demand response monitoring • Load relief signals

  16. Conclusion • Huge investments to realize Smart Grid • Explosion of information that is predominantly geospatial • GIS has evolved over the years • GIS system has the potential to be an enabler • Utilities need an interoperable, accurate and intelligent spatial database
