2. Smarter Grids – Integration of OT and IT
New chart to emphasize the how ABB is leveraging OT and IT integration. Bought Ventyx and then merged in our operations software. OT is the control, operation, engineering of the grid and IT is the utility enterprise-level systems such as customer information system, geographic information system, mobile workforce management, work and asset management, meter data management, and business intelligence. The four corners represent core smart grid technology solutions that NAM utilities are implementing. ABB is strong across all four areas.

3. End-to-end communication infrastructure

Optional if you have time. The acquisition of Tropos enables ABB to offer the AMI-WAN and DA-WAN as an integrated communications solution that supports AMI data backhaul and distribution automation applications such as FDIR and VVO. We are seeing transition from siloed communications to a layered communications infrastructure. The layers are enterprise level applications bus, fiber or microwave to substations, local area networks in the substations, wide-area wireless broadband to backhaul AMI data and to support distribution automation, local radio-frequency mesh networks for AMI, and home automation networks.

IT/OT across operations layers. Top is business intelligence, next are enterprise IT applications. The DMS applications are in the middle, then the network model extracted from GIS, SCADA, communications, and the distribution automation field devices and controllers.

5. Integrated distribution operations platform
Business Intelligence
Switch orders, outages
Distribution grid management spans control room, enterprise-level system integration, communications, controllers, and smart devices in the field for FDIR and VVO. Includes management of distributed energy resources (DG, ES, EV, and DR).
AMI/MDM – Advanced metering infrastructure, meter data management system
MWM – Mobile workforce management
WMS – Work and asset management
GIS – Geographic information system
CIS – Customer information system
IVR – Integrated voice response system – automated phone system that customers use to report outages (less valuable at utilities that have deployed smart meters)

6. Levels of Distribution Automation
Efficiency – Volt/VAr Control
Manually or remotely control capacitors at the local level utilizing settings based on historic metrics of customer power usage
Adding two-way communications and Volt/VAr control software to coordinate and control capacitors, voltage regulators and load tap changers in real time
Utilizing network management software and an impedance model of the distribution system to optimize the reduction in energy losses and demand
Self Healing – FDIR
A group of reclosers, load break switches, and circuit breakers on a feeder operate together to restore power in the most optimal manner
Coordinated control between groups of reclosers, load break switches, and substation circuit breakers within a substation and possibly with adjacent substations
Coordinated control between groups of reclosers, load-break switches, and substation circuit breakers across the distribution grid

9. Integrating OT/IT with virtual power plants
Distribution Management
Energy Management / Generation Management
Energy Markets
Bids and Schedules
Demand response, Distributed generation,
Distributed energy storage, EV charging, Microgrids
We are now integrating demand response and distributed energy resource functionality into DMS. We can model, forecast, aggregate, and control distributed energy resources (DERs) shown at the bottom of the slide (DR, DG,ES, & EV). This capability allows us to manage grid impact from DERs such as feeder voltage management with high concentrations of PV solar connected to distribution feeders. We can also follow the money and monetize DERs by dispatching the virtual power plant created by the DER aggregation. VPPs can be incorporated into generation economic dispatch for vertically integrated utilities or bid into capacity and ancillary service markets in deregulated markets.
