Smart Grid ViewThe integration of electrical and information infrastructures, and the incorporation of

automation and information technologies with our existing electrical network.

Comprehensive solutions that:

� Improve the utility’s power reliability, operational performance and overall

productivity

� Deliver increases in energy efficiencies and decreases in carbon emissions

� Empower consumers to manage their energy usage and save money without

compromising their lifestyle

� Optimize renewable energy integration and enabling broader penetration

That deliver meaningful, measurable

and sustainable benefits to the utility,

the consumer, the economy and the

Environment.

Old Grid

Old Grid

• You call when the power goes out.

• Utility pays whatever it takes to meet peak demand.

• Difficult to manage high Wind and Solar penetration

• Cannot manage distributed generation safely.

• ~10% power loss in T&D

Smart Grid

• Utility knows power is out and usually restores it automatically.

• Utility suppresses demand at peak. Lowers cost. Reduces CAPEX.

• No problem with higher wind and solar penetration.

• Can manage distributed generation safely.

• Power Loss reduced by 2+%… lowers emissions & customer bills.

• $200M smart grid initiative

• ~800-1,000 “green collar” jobs

• Public/private alliance� GE� City of Miami� FPL� Cisco� Silver Spring Networks

• ~1MM customers involved� Smart Meters� Demand Management� Distribution Automation � Substation Intelligence� Distributed Generation� Enterprise Systems

“It’s time for action. With projects like Energy Smart Miami, we can stimulate the economy today and build a brighter, cleaner tomorrow. It’s truly a win-win.”

Carol BrownerAssistant to the President for Energy and Climate Change

Collaborations & alliances are critical

35

Miami proposes to lead the nation in energy efficiency with $200 million smart grid initiative

Scope and revenue

• Average city scope ~200k endpoints

• Revenue pool ~$500/endpoint

• ~20 cities in wave 1 …. New York, Chicago, Detroit, San Francisco, London, Lyons

• Implementation over 2-3 yrs

Global growth + city scale expansion … $1B/yr opportunity

Energy smart cities

Smart Grid Lessons LearnedTechnology:

• Challenge: “Hype” versus “Reality”• Utility expectations were that basic SG solutions were “shovel–ready”

• Reality - Component technology was not as mature as advertised when combined to create a Smart Grid Solution

• In many cases components were field re-engineered or upgraded to meet objectives and expectations

• Challenge: Integration / Interoperability• Integrating multiple supplier products to create a SG solution

• Lesson Learned: adopt and insist on standards and open architecture methodology – drive for plug and play solutions

• Test, Test, Test• Lesson Learned: Extensive lab testing for “SG Solutions” is mandatory

prior to implementation – understand the capabilities

• Re-do’s are expensive and time consuming!

37

Smart Grid Lessons LearnedImplementation & Deployment:

• Challenge: Coordinating multiple suppliers

• Managing equipment, shipments & delivery – pieces and parts along with assembly required for implementation (e.g., radio, controller, AMI network, substation equipment with software)

• Coordinating software functionality with multi-supplier hardware and AMI

• Lesson Learned: Minimize niche suppliers – prefer alliance suppliers with strong engineering and solution teams

• Challenge: Coordinating multiple internal departments

• Managing Substation and Distribution Engineering, Protection and Control, Communications and Construction

• Lesson Learned: Engage 1 Project Manager for each Smart Grid solution with multi-discipline authority

• Prefer packaged solutions from fewer suppliers – minimize the finger-pointing

38

Smart Grid Lessons LearnedProject Management:

• Establish Program Management Office• Multiple Project Managers reporting to the Program Manager

• Adhere to PM guidelines such as Communication, Status Reporting, Risk Management, etc.

• Build an “A” team with project and technical members – there will be challenges to collectively solve

• Establish Corporate Steering Committee• Key status meetings with Utility Executives and Alliance Suppliers

• Escalation and Risk Mitigation in timely manner is critical

• Build Strategic Alliances with Key Suppliers• Define, Engineer and Build the Smart Grid solutions collectively

• Alliance Supplier provides “On-site” management and technical support

39

Smart Grid Lessons LearnedChange Management:

• Smart Grid solutions involve multiple stakeholders (actors)• Residential / Commercial customers are now a “Major Stakeholder”

• For example: PCT’s, In-home devices, utility incentivized customer programs, 2-way communication with the Utility

• Define and develop “Use-Cases” for each component of Smart Grid• Use-Cases provide – a scenario description, defines the benefits,

actors, functional requirements, and business rules and assumptions

• Lesson Learned: Use-cases form the basis for the benefits achieved, functional requirements, development, and training

• Smart Grid actors require “Significant Training” on the operation and maintenance of the deployed system (i.e., Operations Center, Communications, Customer Call Center, Engineering, Field Crews, etc.)

Go West Young Man – My First Job

Don’t let a disappointing work situation affect your attitude and work, because it will change

No one is indispensable and continue to do more than expected and provide value to the company

Practice “precision without accuracy” in all engineering work

Get an MBA and know how to build the business case for a technical project

Get a PE license as soon as you have the required work experience (assuming you have passed the FE exam)

Serve as a mentor for young engineers

Get involved in outside activities (IEEE PES) giving talks, teaching courses and developing industry standards
