Training Manual - Smart Grid Study Tour to Spain, Italy and France

INTRODUCTION

The Indian power sector is on cusp of power sector transformation as it moves towards a sustainable, reliable, affordable, cleaner and a consumer centric electricity network. The targets to accomplish this have already been set, with the Government of India aiming to achieve 24x7 quality power supply for all, integration of 175 GW of renewables, reduction of AT&C losses below 15 percent and development of a transparent digital interface between utility and consumers.

To achieve this, automation of grid network through Smart Grid technologies has been identified as a critical backbone. The Government of India has taken several measures to support Smart Grid development in India. Various state-owned flagship programs including Ujwal Discom Assurance Yojana, 100 Smart Cities Mission, Power for All, and Digital India are some growth drivers. The scale for expansion is massive with overall target of 250 million smart meters and with majority of the 40+ state utilities in India exploring technology upgrades to meet its operational efficiency objectives under Ujwal DISCOM Assurance Yojana. However, even with significant policy, regulatory and institutional structures put in place for Smart Grid, India is facing some challenges that are impeding the mainstreaming of Smart Grid infrastructure in the power sector. As India endeavors to find the solutions for a nationwide Smart Grid infrastructure, it needs to imbibe relevant experiences, good practices, technologies and initiatives adopted internationally from nations which are at advanced stages of Smart Grid deployment. This study tour, as a part of the U.S.-India Partnership to Advance Clean Energy – Deployment Technical Assistance (PACE-D TA) Program, aims to facilitate such knowledge transfer and provide participants an opportunity to obtain first-hand experience of large-scale Smart Grid projects and initiatives in Spain, Italy and France, and also observe live demonstrations of Smart Grid practices through site visits to utilities and interactions with utility personnel.

The training manual includes the agenda and details of the sites that the participants will visit as part of the Smart Grid Study Tour to the U.S. It also includes a feedback survey form that should be completed after each site visit/meeting. We request you to kindly fill the form and hand it over to Saurabh Gupta or Vikas Gaba. Your feedback will help the PACE-D TA Program to better plan and design training and exchange programs in the future.

The study tour participants will learn about the large-scale deployment of Iberdrola as well as regulatory and policy measures adopted for Smart Grid adopted by Spain. The visit would include presentations covering:

1 Smart Meter Royal Decree 1110/2007 and Ministerial Order ITC/3860/2007: Royal Decree 1110/2007 established that all consumers with less than 15 kW shall have Smart Meters. The subsequent ministerial order provided a meter substitution plan for all consumers contracted with less than 15 kW by the end of 2018. This plan included:

• Between 1 January 2008 and 31 December 2010, 30 percent of the total number of meters of up to 15 kW contracted power of each distribution company should be replaced




2 Royal Decree on Smart Meter and Voluntary Price for Small Consumers: On 1 April,

2014, the new system, the ‘Voluntary Price for Small Consumer (PVPC)’, came into force for determining the cost of energy on the electricity bill for consumers whose contracted power capacity does not exceed 10 kW.

With the new PVPC system the only modification is the method of calculating the price of producing electricity. At around 8:15 pm each day, Red Eléctrica, the national power transmission system operator, publishes the electricity pricing schedule via its website which is applied in each of the 24 hours of the following day. Prices are displayed according to three types of tariffs:

https://www.esios.ree.es/en/pvpc

21Training Manual - Smart Grid Study Tour to Spain, Italy and France

A-General tariff. B-Nighttime tariff or hourly discrimination. C-Super-valley tariff (electric vehicle).

Those consumers who have a smart meter installed capable of hourly metering, will have these new prices applied to their bill in accordance with their hourly consumption throughout the day.

• STAR Project: Iberdrola’s STAR Project (Network Remote Management and AutomationSystems), launched in 2009, is an ambitious initiative with the objective of transformingtechnology in the field of Smart Grids. The STAR project, with an overall investment of over€2 billion, involves the installation of over 10.6 million Smart Meters and the adaptation ofsome 80,000 transformer stations with remote management and monitoring capabilities.

At Enel’s Smart Meter Lab, the participants will gain knowledge of Enel’s various initiatives in large-scale Smart Metering projects including:

Telegestore project:

Launched in 1999, the Telegestore Project (Italian Automated Meter Management (AMM) System), provided the replacement of more than 30 million smart meters over a five year period. The Telegestore is an innovative system designed to remotely read and manage the customers of electric energy on the low voltage network. It includes a remote meter reading system, a customer management system, and a potential ‘value added services’ delivery system. The project started in June 2000 with the development of a remote metering management system which used the low-voltage distribution grid as a data carrier, in combination with the public telecommunication network. The Telegestore project was undertaken at a capital cost of more

than Euro 2 billion. In 2003 Enel started to consolidate the project savings. By 2005, with full system deployment, Enel was saving more than 400 million Euro a year. Major components of the Telegestore system were the meter, the concentrator, the modem and the central system. Some key features include: • The electronic power meter integrates the metering system, a circuit breaker and

distribution line carrier (DLC) communication functions. The meter has been designed by Enel, with the help of a few external designers to ensure system integration. They were produced by international contract manufacturers that could ensure high volumes of production with low defect rates. The meters have been developed according to international standards (CEN 61036, CEN 61268). Enel opened a public worldwide tender procedure following European regulation EN 38/83 for the procurement of the meters.

• The concentrator, installed in almost every secondary substation, is able to manage the communication both towards the central system and towards the electronic meters. The concentrator questions the electronic meters in a master-slave manner. The communication between the concentrator and the meter is DLC network on CENELEC 82 kHz (primary carrier frequency) or 75 kHz (secondary carrier frequency) FSK, 2400 bps. This band has been reserved for electricity utilities for purposes related to their core business.

• The modems, installed in the secondary substations, transfer the data collected by the concentrator to a central system through the telecommunication network (GSM, ISDN, etc.) with TCP/IP protocol. The connection is mainly performed via GSM because of the immediate network coverage available.

• The central system (AMM) collected and sent data from/to the concentrators and manages the system. The central system was integrated with the legacy system; this meant that all the operations are made automatically.

Open Meter 2.0:

Enel launched the meter replacement plan of first generation electronic meters (installed in early 2000s) with the new Open Meter 2.0 (second generation electronic meter) in 2016. Open Meter involves an overall investment of 4.3 billion euros – which could reach around 6 billion with the support of municipally owned companies – and aims at installing around 41 million devices over the coming years. 32 million of these will be installed in Italian homes and companies by 2021 to replace current first-generation meters, while there will be a further 9 million new installations. As of September 2017, over a million electronic 2.0 Open Meters have already been installed in Italy by E-Distribuzione. This second-generation meter, created by architect Michele De Lucchi and exclusively designed and developed in Italy by E-Distribuzione, incorporates the leading technology in the field of metering and remote management. Open Meter conforms to the specifications for new meters laid down by AEEGSI Resolution 87/2016. With Resolution 222/2017 of April this year the authority approved the plan to install the new meters developed by E-Distribuzione.

By installing these new E-Distribuzione meters, Italian customers will, without any increase in charges, be able to gain a better awareness of their consumption, access new services and have the opportunity to take an active part in the new energy market. The innovative features of these new meters include faster changes of supply, the elimination of fixed time bands and the availability of data on electricity use for greater savings.

Enel, Rome – EV Infrastructure 7

Enel is one of the first-movers in E-Mobility solutions globally. In its recent Italian National Plan for the installation of electric vehicle charging infrastructures: the e-Mobility Revolution, Enel envisages the installation of around 7,000 charging stations by 2020 to reach a total of 14,000 by 2022. For this, Enel will invest between 100 and 300 million euros to develop a widespread charging infrastructure network including Quick (22 kW) charging stations in urban areas and Fast (50 kW) and Ultra Fast (150 kW) charging stations in extra-urban areas.

Enel already boasts an infrastructure of about 900 charging stations throughout Italy, which has been designed to meet the various charging needs of customers. Enel has created a state of the art recharge system based on the presence of four types of charging stations: Box station (for home charging), Pole station (pedestrian street mounted), Fast Recharge and Fast Recharge Plus. Further, Enel employ’s personalized card (RFID) that allows customer recognition and enables recharging in a personalized manner, based on the actual availability of the station, energy tariffs, and charging mode. These features are possible thanks to its Electro Mobility Management System (EMM) cloud platform, which allows for the remote monitoring and management of the entire network. The integration between Enel's charging stations and the EMM platform also enables smart charging services, which allow customers to manage their charging activities more effectively.

Unceasing technological evolution is driving change even in transportation. And innovation today allows Enel to transform electric cars into tools at the service of energy. Electric vehicles, are real storage systems distributed throughout the territory, which can support the electricity grid through technologies like Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G). For demonstration of V2G, world’s first fully commercial vehicle-to-grid hub has been launched in Denmark. This project is a collaboration between automotive manufacturer Nissan, Enel, and California-based company Nuvve. “Frederiksberg Forsyning” (the electric utility headquartered at Copenhagen) has installed ten Enel V2G units and purchased 10 zero emission, 100 percent electric Nissan e-NV200 vans under this project. Nuvve has provided the platform that controls the power flow to and from the cars. The Software

ensures that the driver’s mileage needs are always met and optimizes the power available to the grid.

In 2017, Enel also launched the Electric Car Sharing Pilot Project in Italy. This project, a collaboration between Enel Energia, Nissan and the Italian Institute of Technology, set up a vehicle to grid (V2G) infrastructure for an electric car sharing project in Genoa, Italy.

The V2G technology turns e-cars into large mobile batteries that interact smartly with the power grid, enabling, among other things, the stabilization of power flows to promote renewable generation. Cars can accumulate energy at lower fuel consumption times and return any excess quantities. In fact, the new technology is based on bidirectional charge management: it draws energy for example from home renewable systems, and feeds it into e-cars. If necessary, it transfers it from the car to another plug-in structure or simply to the network, guaranteeing a financial return for the EV owner. This V2G technology platform has enabled Enel to explore a new business model which replaces the traditional model of network development. Enel acts as an ‘energy manager’ by aggregating vehicles that it does not own and giving their owners the opportunity to sell services on the energy market. National regulations enabling this type of service are still under development and the reference framework still does not allow and remunerates e-car charging and discharging operations via V2G technology in a sustainable manner in all countries.

At, Vallelunga racetrack near Rome, Enel hosts the first technology centre for R&D on e-mobility solutions in Italy that will aggregate research and start-up institutes operating in the sector. The historic racetrack has already seen installation of 20 charging units with Enel technology. As of today, more than 20 charging infrastructures using Enel technology have been installed and are operational, which will enable:

• The development and testing of charging infrastructures in a real environment, involving the various automotive companies active at the racetrack;

• The creation of a motor sport specialised centre for the development and testing of new solutions for electric vehicles and charging stations;

• Testing of sustainable mobility services such as payment and access control systems for charging infrastructure, e-car sharing;

• Leveraging on ACI Vallelunga's competencies on road safety for safe driving courses specific for electric vehicle drivers.

The study tour to Vallelunga R&D center will provide an insight into the various regulatory and policy initiatives, implementation approach, technology considerations and business model for undertaking E-mobility based Smart Grid projects in India.

EDF Lab Les Renardières site in Seine-et-Mane, France 8 Électricité de France S.A. (EDF; Electricity of France) is a French electric utility company, largely owned by the French state. Headquartered in Paris, with €65.2 billion in revenues in 2010, EDF operates a diverse portfolio of 120+ gigawatts of generation capacity in Europe, South America, North America, Asia, the Middle East and Africa. In 2009, EDF was the world's largest producer of electricity. In 2011, it produced 22% of the European Union's electricity, primarily from nuclear power:

The EDF group is active in all major electricity businesses: generation, transmission, distribution, trading and sales of energy. Its ambition is to be the benchmark electricity provider in tomorrow’s world. The main missions of EDF Group’s Research and Development Division are to contribute to improving the performance of the operational units, to identify and to prepare growth drivers and to anticipate the challenges and major issues of the 21st century.

The visit to EDF will be conducted at the Concept Grid lab.

Concept Grid

Concept Grid is a genuine smart distribution network designed to anticipate and support the change of electrical systems to smart grids. Located at the EDF Lab Les Renardières site in Seine-et-Marne, Concept Grid makes it possible to safely conduct full-size test campaigns in very different domains, ranging from the primary substation to the customer. Over three hectares, Concept Grid has 10 km of overhead and subsurface networks, two distribution stations, test labs, fully-equipped houses, smart meters, photovoltaic panels, wind turbines, charging points, etc. Among its many benefits, Concept Grid makes it possible to run complex "stress tests" in degraded conditions that would be impossible to carry out in situ, with actual customers.

Concept Grid is an intelligent electrical system dedicated to experimentation and research. Unlike distribution networks supplying customers, it allows for complex test campaigns in disturbed conditions, without affecting users. Inaugurated by EDF on September 13, 2013, this test facility was designed to be representative of existing distribution networks so that the results of full-scale investigations conducted there are directly exploitable. The platform is intended to anticipate and accompany the evolution of networks towards smart electrical systems. In addition to meeting the R&D needs of EDF, it is open to manufacturers and equipment manufacturers to test technological innovations in the field of smart grids.

To make Concept Grid even more representative of real distribution networks, EDF has reproduced a residential neighborhood with 5 houses of 20m2, fitted with equipment that is up-to-date or anticipates future uses: smart meters, remote controlled household appliances, reversible heat pumps, micro-wind turbines, photovoltaic panels, terminals for charging electric vehicles, storage systems. This residential neighborhood of sample homes brings together new technologies in respect of renewable energies, storage and electric mobility.

Concept Grid is equipped with ultra-modern hardware such as: • A control system compliant with the new standards (IEC 61-850) • A flexible high power electronic source to inject or absorb disturbance, controlled by a

computer and linked to a digital simulation (HIL – Hardware In the Loop technology) • Three different neutral point treatments that can be selected according to needs: two

currently implemented on French networks and a very promising third, the active neutral.

Concept Grid brings together: • 3 km of medium voltage network ( 20 kV ) which feed a low voltage network of 7 km • Additional electrical hardware – such as RLC banks (resistors inductors capacitors), an

amplifier and a simulator – allow the characteristics of larger size distribution networks to be reproduced in a controlled environment.

• Smart Grid functions integrated by a telecommunications network (fiber optics, radio and power line) and an information system. The combination of the telecommunication network and the information system to the medium and low voltage network makes Concept Grid a true intelligent electricity network

• Various buildings and test laboratories at the Renardières site connected to Concept Grid, for example the battery and electric vehicle laboratory or the home automation laboratory

• A driving position with the latest standards to supervise and control the whole • Its unique design places it mid-way between laboratory tests and experiments in the

field. Concept Grid makes it possible to conduct, in complete safety, complex testing campaigns that would be impossible to perform on a real network

The visit to concept grid will help the study tour participants understand results of various Smart Grid technologies and communication options evaluated as part of Concept Grid and their results.

Enedis (Formerly ERDF), France 9

Enedis manages 95 percent of the electricity distribution network in continental France. This network belongs to local authorities (French municipalities or groups of municipalities), who subcontract to Enedis as an operator through a public service delegation. Enedis has 35 million consumers, 39,033 employees, 11 million operations per year.

The quality of Enedis’s electricity supply is among the highest in Europe. To preserve this level of service, Enedis maintains and develops the network. The company also innovates to meet the needs of customers, electricity producers and electricity suppliers, particularly in the areas of information systems and metering.

LINKY Project

Between now and 2021, French grid manager Enedis will oversee the deployment of 35 million of the uniquely French smart meter - the Linky. These meters (part of new initiative for smart grid implementation), installed in end- consumer’s properties and linked to a supervision centre, is in constant interaction with the network. Linky is based upon functionalities from the electronic meter, and equipped with 7 new major functions: a clock, a breaker, a software, a PLC modem, an encryption system, 8 managing contact-relays, and a slot for a radio module. These meters use a power line communications (PLC) technology called G3-PLC. The communication solution include PLC on LV networks and GPRS for WAN (from MV/LV substation to Centre).

The meter has a distinctive yellow casing which has two buttons visible and more technical controls sealed under the face plate for a more ergonomic design. In 2009, the meter won the Observeur du Design award (created in 1999 by the Agency for the promotion of industrial action) on the theme "the beautiful, the useful and design" for its aesthetic concept applied to a functional object.

Linky is expected to generate energy savings of 5 to 15% (according to Ademe, the French Environment and Energy Management Agency). In concrete terms, on an average annual bill of €400 per household, this could equate to savings of €50 per annum. For the DSO (Distribution System Operator), the main benefits are avoiding investment in installing existing meters (30% of total benefits), avoiding network losses (25%) and meter reading costs (5%).

France began the rollout in March 2010 with a trial of 300,000 Linky smart meters in the cities of Tours and Lyon. This experiment has achieved the set objectives: Enedis has proved its control of the deployment processes (efficiency, safety, customer satisfaction), developed the final information system and confirmed the economic assumptions.

Linky project also seeks to create a standard in the industry of smart metering. Enedis has defined a standard architecture that makes the system interoperable with products of different manufacturers, and stimulates competition on the metering market for the benefit of all those 9 Source:
