  1. High Priority R&D:Unleashing the Power of Distributed and Demand Response Resources EPACT T&D R&D Workshop Tallahassee February 2006 Rob Pratt Pacific NW National Laboratory 509 375-3648 robert.pratt@pnl.gov

  2. Value Proposition: Make Loads Full Partners in System Operations • Loads are no longer a Boundary Condition … • understanding • managing • leveraging can impact the power grid in profound ways … • asset utilization/peak loads • reliability in the near term because … • “prime mover” is already bought and paid for • communications and control are relatively inexpensive 2

  3. R&D Priority 1: Information Architectures to Enable Demand Response & Other DERs to Integrate with Traditional Assets Communications are the Underpinning of the Future Grid Revealing value Communicating opportunity Seamless control response GridWise Architecture Council

  4. Planning Maintenance HVACControl Operations Accounting Billing The Grand Challenge: Making Collaboration with the Grid Business as Usual for Everyone the Building+Grid Enterprise??? the Building Enterprise the Grid Enterprise are Tough enterprise integration problems by themselves OR ride the e-commerce wave with a minimal Transactive Interface Other Other Contract: commodity, price, data, terms and conditions… More More 4

  5. IBM Invensys Johnson Controls Celerity Olympic Peninsula GridWise Demonstration Internet broadband communications Market $ MW Mason 3 & Clallam PUDs n = 200, 0.8 MW DR Port Angeles Water Supply District, 0.9 MW DR 0.9 MW DG Sequim Marine Sciences Lab, 0.3 MW DR 0.5 MW DG 5

  6. R&D Priority #2: Grid Friendly™ Appliances – a Reliability Safety Net & Path to Demand Response Technical challenges: ● quantifying stability benefits of under- frequency & under-voltage load shed ● new source of regulation Regulatory challenge:appliance standards vs. grid-funded Why residential appliances? • Homes are more alike than any other customer segment • Ultra-low transaction cost: • mass production • mass marketing & deployment • PUCs won’t leave sector behind 6

  7. Priorities #3 & #4: Simulation Capabilityand Real Grid Operating Environments Quantify the point-of-departure and incremental benefits Develop, test and refine technology solutions Train operators how to take advantage of new opportunities Priority #5: Designing multiple, synergistic benefits from new distributed techs: • DG firming demand response • Demand response firming DG • offering different levels of reliability to customers with DA, DR, DG PNNL Integrated Energy Operations Center 7

  8. High Priority R&D # 1: Information architecturesto enable demand response & other DERs to collaborate in grid ops # 2:Grid Friendly Appliancesas an under-frequency & under-voltage safety net • quantifying stability benefits of u-f and u-v load shedding • understanding potential new source of regulation • building in a market transformation pathway to demand response • regulatory challenge:appliance standards vs. grid-funded # 3 & # 4:Simulation capability and real, data-driven grid operating environments to develop and refine technologies, train operators # 5: Designing multiple, synergistic benefits from new distributed technologies (DA+DR+DG) to make them more cost effective, sooner 8
