  1. The Smart Grid and Optimizing Electricity Supply Atlantic Council Workshop Steve Bossart Director, Integrated Electric Power Systems October 26, 2009 Funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability
  2. What’s different with the Smart Grid? …for all stakeholders Decentralized supply and control Two way power flow Two way information flow Creating the intelligence and capability to optimize: Reliability Security Economics Efficiency Environment Safety Updated 02/25/2008
  3. The Smart Grid will Optimize Supply 25 M residential solar 1 M PHEV/PEV 10 M PHEV/PEV 50 M PHEV/PEV Demand Response Conservation 2 M architectural wind 5 M building solar 500 wind parks 50 solar parks 5,000 distributed wind 5,000 utility solar 100,000 Buildings as PP
  4. Smart Grid Characteristics …supporting the optimization of supply The Smart Grid is “transactive” and 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 (self-heal) Operate resiliently against attack and natural disaster Updated 02/25/2008
  5. Achieving Supply Optimization Goals The Smart Grid will support their achievement by: Energy independence Deep penetration of electric vehicles –Smart Grid enabled – couldreduce oil imports by 52% Smart Grid supports conservation, demand response, and reduces T&D losses further reducing peak loads and total US electricity consumption by 56 to 203B KWh’s by 2030  National security Smart Grid increases the decentralization of supply, greatly reducing its vulnerability to attack 2-way flow of power and information enables the grid to anticipate and respond to problems (self-heals) dramatically reducing the impact and duration of disturbances. Updated 02/25/2008
  6. Achieving Supply Optimization Goals The Smart Grid will support their achievement by: Low carbon supply Deep penetration of electric vehicles –Smart Grid enabled – couldreduce CO2 emissions by 60 to 211 Million metric tons in 2030 New storage technologies—including EV’s— will enable a much deeper penetration of  intermittent renewables.  Smart Grid will reduce T&D losses thereby reducing the amount of generation needed to serve a given load. Growing the US economy New jobs—280K new, 140K sustained— to support the planning, design, construction, operation and maintenance of the Smart Grid Economic development for new products and services demanded by Smart Grid consumers Updated 02/25/2008
  7. How do we get there?

  8. Some Challenges Technology Interoperability and cyber security standards Regulatory Policy Workforce training and education Consumer engagement (the market) Updated 02/25/2008
  9. Consumer Value Proposition Answers “What‘s in it for me?” Benefits More reliable service Reduced business losses and prices for goods & services Potential bill savings Transportation cost savings (PHEVs vs. conventional vehicles) Information, control, and options for managing electricity Option to sell consumer-owned generation and storage resources into the market Costs Passed on to the consumer Updated 02/25/2008
  10. Estimated residential bill/year $1200 Expected reduction from EE/DR 10% – 15% $180 $120 Potential savings/year – $120 Assumed bill increase to pay for smart grid/year $60 – Net consumer value/year – $0 $120 An Example Potential Bill Savings Positive value but not very compelling! Updated 02/25/2008
  11. Another Example Potential Fuel Cost Savings More compelling but is it enough? Updated 02/25/2008
  12. Societal Value Proposition Answers “What‘s in it for us?” – high value expected! Benefits Opportunity for energy independence through integration of electric vehicles as generation and storage devices Increased grid robustness improving grid security Reduced emissions through integration of renewable generation and reduced losses New jobs and growth in GDP Downward pressure on electricity prices through improved operating and market efficiencies, consumer involvement, deferral of capital projects Improved reliability leading to reduction in consumer losses (~$135B) Costs No incremental costs Updated 02/25/2008
  13. Impact of Smart Grid on Demand & Generation Reduce overall demand due to: Demand response, conservation and reduced T&D losses Reduce peak demand due to: Demand response, DER and storage Increase demand due to: Electric vehicles Smart Grid provides market access for all generation sources Centralized generation (coal, nuclear, hydro) Distributed generation (renewables) Updated 02/25/2008
  14. Summary Electric vehicles may drive consumer engagement in Smart Grid Help the consumer “get on board” Develop the complete story consumer benefits societal benefits costs of doing nothing address their concerns answer their questions Electric vehicles and free markets may be the catalyst for both the Smart Grid and the optimization of supply Updated 02/25/2008
