GIS as the Foundation for SmartGrid Andrew Bennett
Agenda The Buzz What is SG? Benefits Technology GIS Role in SG Connecting The Two
The Buzz Results 1-10 of about 673,000 for smart grid. (0.26 seconds) By Contrast.. Results 1-10 of about 203,000,000 for porn (0.06 seconds) Still pretty impressive
Point in Case The Buzz It turns out, my mom has her own Smart Grid Solution
The Buzz
The Smart Grid 1. Highly automated and interconnected intelligent electricity delivery system Through which energy suppliers and consumers are interconnected through a network 2. Implementing a bi-directional information network that parallels the electrical one Transitioning from a commodity broadcast delivery to a two way information highway 3. Leveraging information to support the delivery of electricity reliably and at the lowest possible cost With adequate (real or near-real time) response to add significant operational value
Two Parallel, Integrated Networks Substation Distribution Generation Transmission/ Subtransmission ITU AGC EMS Energy Trading SCADA OMS/DMS ` DA AMI Energy Control Center Distribution Operation Center Digital Network
Principal Characteristics of the Smart Grid 1. Optimizes asset performance 2. Operates efficiently 3. Self-healing and adaptive 4. Provides high quality power 5. Resists disturbances, natural and man-made 6. Interactive with consumers and markets
The Challenge To transform the current utility grid into one that distributes electricity more efficiently and securely, while meeting the demands of a changing society in a sustainable way Through logical, systematic steps Taking advantage of the best resources available Recognizing that time is not on our side
The Power of Integration AMI SCADA GIS Data Acquisition Systems OMS DMS Individually, each Smart Grid element provides competitive advantage But they don t answer some key questions: Can I make optimal asset and load management decisions in near-real time? Can I further improve customer service and reliability? Can I combine AMI, SCADA, OMS, DA, and enterprise data in a seamless way to provide operations personnel with a more comprehensive and secure view of my network?

GIS as the Foundation For SmartGrid The idea of GIS as an enterprise application that provides us with the operational view of the network is pretty well accepted. We use GIS to support Asset, Work, Outage GIS is evolving to support the smart grid By providing the real-time applications with a single representation of the network As GIS continues to make this transition it will evolve from an enterprise application to a mission critical one Business Benefit Enterprise Integration Spatial and Realtime
