23

Load Forecast ing 90% of demand variation due to w eather

W ind Pow er Highly variable, dif f icult to predict. Causes increases in spinning reserve generation and risk of grid instability

W eather imposes the largest external impact on the Smart Grid Demand, renew able energy supply, and outages are heavily inf luenced by w eather Intelligent w eather integration is the key factor in ef f icient Smart Grid management

Transmission Temperature, humidity and w ind impact line capacity

Distribution W eather is largest cause of outages (lightning, high w inds, ice, transformer failures due to high load, etc.)

Distributed Generation Home solar contributions can cause system instability due to rapid cloud cover changes

Trading Improved prediction of load and renew able energy contribution improves trading decisions

Methods of Integration Manual

While not considered a high-tech option, manual integration can be best when decisions or interpretations are required

Point-to-Point Since data is duplicated between systems it is essential to determine the master system or “source of record”

Realtime Typically uses a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) Users of web services (consumers) make requests via structured .XML message Service providers reply in a structured and expected message format An Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) routes messages between applications and translates messages to suit the requirements of different applications (aka mediation) and handles error reporting A services registry keeps track of services and their locations on the network

Business Process Modeling

31

Integration Modeling

32

Integration Specifications For each interface point define:

When (in the workflow) is each interface triggered? What information is sent/requested? In what format? Where (exactly) should the information be sent? Are any transformations required? How should the other system respond/behave? What is the priority of this request as compared with others? How are errors handled and reported?

33

ESB Service Architectures

One-way Integrat ion

Bi-Direct ional Integrat ion

ArcFM Integration Framework

Framework utilizes a configurable .NET web service The web service uses COM Interop to call the various COM APIs in the core ArcFM Solution products The service receives XML over HTTP and supports SOAP or simple HTTP Post

Interoperability Standards MultiSpeak

Sponsored by NRECA Defines interfaces linking multiple business functions Used by ~600 utilities internationally and ~90 vendors

CIM (Common Information Model) Adopted by the IEC of the ISO In wide use in transmission, IEC 61968 extended to distribution User group has 205 corporate members Wide international adoption

Nat ional Rural Elect ric Cooperat ive Associat ion Int l Elect rotechnical Commission of the Int l Standards Organizat ion

Interoperability Standards MultiSpeak and CIM

Why one over the other? Value of any “standard” is in part based on the breadth of its adoption… … and in part based on utility – measured by completeness, correctness and extensibility MultiSpeak and IEC WG 14 working to “harmonize” the specs

“ Mult iSpeak and IEC 69968 CIM: Moving Toward Operability” McNaughton, Robinson and Gray, Grid –Interop Forum 2008

Cutover Establish a cutover plan All-in or Phased Approach Phased Approach:

Need to address relationship classes Need to address geometric network Need to address versioning

Summary There are many types of integration, all offering different benefits Goal of integration is to make the business more efficient via sharing of data in a timely manner

Cut costs by streamlining workflow Improve customer service Improve management of business functions Improve data integrity

Methods for integration depend on frequency of integration and defined to-be business processes Use of interoperability standards like MultiSpeak and CIM can make integrations easier
