  2. Smart Grid R&D Topics • Vision and goals • Background • Research needs • Standards and best practices • Technology development • Modeling • Analysis • Evaluation and demonstration

  3. Vision and Goals

  4. DOE OE Mission Mission of Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability • Lead national efforts to modernize the electric grid; • Enhance security and reliability of the infrastructure; and • Facilitate recovery from disruptions to energy supply Accelerate the deployment and integration of advanced communication, control, and information technologies that are needed to modernize the nation‘s electric delivery network

  5. Vision of Smart Grid R&D Program • By 2030, the power grid has evolved into an intelligent energy delivery system that supports plug-and-play integration of dispatchable and intermittent low-carbon energy sources, and provides a platform for consumer engagement in load management, national energy independence, innovation, entrepreneurship, and economic security. This smart grid supports the best and most secure electric services available in the world and connects everyone to abundant, affordable, high quality, environmentally conscious, efficient, and reliable electric power

  6. Requirements to Achieve Vision • High-speed, secure, two-way communications • Standards for cyber security and interoperability • Automated distribution system • Modeling for wide area awareness • Visibility, outage prevention, outage management • Automated customer systems • Demand response, energy efficiency • Market mechanisms to deploy dynamic pricing • High penetration of distributed and renewable resources

  7. Smart Grid Principal Characteristics The Smart Grid will: Enable active participation by consumers Accommodate all generation and storage options Enable new products, services and markets Provide power quality for the digital economy Optimize asset utilization and operate efficiently Anticipate & respond to system disturbances Operate resiliently to attack and natural disaster 7 7

  8. Smart Grid Goals

  9. Smart Grid R&D Program Supports: • 2010 OE strategic plan • Develop advanced T&D technologies • Facilitate expansion of electric infrastructure capacity • Improve protection and restoration capability • Secretary of Energy’s goals • Build competitive, low carbon economy • Secure America’s energy future • President’s targets • 80% of electricity from clean energy sources by 2035 • 1 million electric vehicles by 2015
