The driving focus of EPRI’s five-year smart grid demonstration project is a result of the PRISM analysis and the smart grid demonstration projects are focused on Integration of distributed energy resources. One of the challenges with integration of distributed energy resources is management of those resources. How does a utility integrate tens of thousands or possibly millions of end points in the same manner as conventional generation. One goal is to manage these resources as a “Virtual Power Plant” so they can be managed by the utility system operations group in the same manner as a conventional power plant.
To achieve the goal of a virtual power plant, there are numerous challenges and the EPRI Smart Grid Demonstration project is focused on leveraging existing and emerging technologies and standards to advance the integration and interoperability of distributed energy resources and associated systems. One of the most significant enablers of a smart grid is advancements in communication technologies. This initiative will leverage information and both private and public communication technologies and infrastructures as part of this effort.
In order to identify challenging smart grid projects that will support our goals, we have several criteria that the smart grid projects must meet. One of the criteria is that a smart grid project must integrate of multiple types of distributed energy resources. When we talking about distributed energy resources, it includes four main areas:
Distributed Generation, Renewable Generation, Storage and Demand Response.
Another key criteria is that the projects must have multiple levels of integration from the customer, distribution system, transmission system, system operator, utility enterprise systems, market operator and so on. By deploying projects with multiple levels of system integration, we are challenged to integrate systems that historically have not been integrated and by doing so lends itself to create additional benefits to the electric power industry and key stakeholders. 

27. American Electric Power (AEP) Virtual Power Plant Simulator (VPPS)
American Electric Power’s smart grid project is a Virtual Power Plant Simulator. This project intends to address functionality and performance of a fully integrated and robust smart grid, from end-use to regional transmission operator (RTO). It leverages a foundational system, a South Bend, Indiana 10,000 customer pilot, that includes smart meters, communications, end-use tariffs and controls, and distribution automation and volt/var control with robust modeling and simulation platforms (e.g., GridLab-D and OpenDSS). Through these simulation platforms we are able to integrate other distributed and end-use technologies that are being evaluated by AEP, either in a real system environment or at American Electric Power’s Dolan Technology Center, including four MW scale sodium sulfur battery installations, two 70-kW roof-top photovoltaic systems, a new 5.7 kW concentrating solar technology (with 1.2 kW electrical and 4.5 kW thermal outputs), three 60 kW natural gas-fired reciprocating engines (with the potential for combined heat and power), two plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, one Ice Bear air conditioning system, two 10 kW wind turbines, and several 25 kW community energy storage systems (CES).
Each of these individual demonstrations will be evaluated and reported separately as part of this EPRI project; however, the simulation platforms will enable us to virtually “install” these same systems on the South Bend system, utilizing real performance and temporal data as input to the simulations and to develop and validate system and component models. From a temporal perspective, we can simulate system operation as though it was integrated into a PJM market. In this way AEP can create a very robust representation of a “virtual power plant”, leveraging real device and system information and data.
This project will be the site of our March 2010 Smart Grid Meeting.

28. Con Edison Interoperability of Demand Response Resources
Con Edison’s smart grid project is focused on Interoperability of Demand Response Resources. It targets development of interoperability techniques including the development of protocols and software to leverage multiple types of customer owned distributed generation (DG) along with the integration of intermittent renewable generation and commercial building demand response. In order to achieve the project objective, interoperability between the delivery company and the demand response resources is important because Con Edison does not own or actively control the demand response resources. This project will demonstrate methodologies to enhance the ability of customer owned demand response resources to more effectively interface with electric delivery companies and demonstrate simple, safe, cost-effective methods of interconnection.
The primary business case for integrating customer-owned distributed resources is related to a major reliability challenge of the Con Edison delivery system due to growth in demand, which has increased by 20% in the past decade and is projected to increase another 10% in the next decade. Given the large resident and working population and high infrastructure and load density, it is difficult to expand the delivery capacity. Therefore, increasing the ability to harness demand response resources is key to enabling Con Edison to maintain and enhance its high level of reliability. While enhanced use of demand response is critical, it is also a great challenge to harness such a resource, which is not typically under the complete control of the delivery company.
This project will be the site of our Fall 2010 Smart Grid Meeting

29. Electricité de France (EDF) PREMIO: Distributed Energy Resources Aggregation & Management
EDF’s project is based on the PREMIO project: “Distributed Energy Resource Aggregation and Management.” The project objective is to demonstrate an innovative, open and repeatable architecture aimed at optimizing the integration of distributed generation, storage, renewable energy resources, demand response and energy efficiency measures in order to provide load relief, local network support and reduce CO2 emissions in the PACA region (South East of France). The project includes deploying and integrating 9 types of distributed energy resources. This region of France is an electric peninsula supplied by a unique 400kV transmission line to fulfill most of the electricity needs of the customers. In addition, local electricity generation covers less than half of the needs and this peninsula effect is aggravated by the distance between generation and consumption sites. During peak periods, congestions occur and the demand supply balance of the system becomes difficult to guarantee especially in periods of extreme weather conditions (heat waves or thunderstorms).
This project is unique in that it is using Internet based protocols for communications and security, unlike many of the projects in North America.
This project will be the site of our June 2010 Smart Grid Meeting

30. FirstEnergy / Jersey Central Power & Light Integrated Distributed Energy Resources (IDER)
The FirstEnergy Smart Grid Project is deploying its smart grid project in the central region of its Jersey Central Power & Light operating company. It is an Integrated Distributed Energy Resource management smart grid project and will deliver operational and market program benefits by managing distributed energy resources (DER). Demand management with distributed resources is its focus and includes 23 MW of direct load control (DLC) equipment at 10,000 residential and approximately 100 commercial & industrial customer locations. The project will give the utility the ability to monitor and control non-critical customer electrical loads at a granular level via two-way communications architecture. The Integrated Distributed Energy Resource architecture provides monitoring and control through an Integrated Control Platform (ICP) which monitors the local distribution circuits for system reliability while also monitoring for wholesale energy market opportunities. The Integrated Control Platform can aggregate multiple Distributed Energy Resource for optimal wide area management. This smart grid project is designed to provide utility operations with real-time system status based on pre-defined utility operational rules with management through the Integrated Control Platform. Other Distributed Energy Resource technologies, including electricity storage, permanent peak load shift devices in the form of ice storage as well as distribution line sensors, substation meter/monitors and photovoltaics are being added to the system to maximize the lessons of this smart grid project.
This project was the site of our June 2009 Smart Grid Meeting

31. PNM High-Penetration PV thru Grid Automation and Demand Response
PNM’s project emphasizes high penetration Photovoltaics through grid automation and demand response. It will develop and deploy an advanced distributed control and communication infrastructure with the goal of optimizing renewable resource utilization and system benefits. The project will integrate high-penetration distributed Photovoltaic (PV) systems, local storage, and substation-sited PV and storage with both local distribution system management and overall load management at the system level. At the local level, the project will evaluate smart inverter interface technologies to enhance system benefits, applying previous work in the area of smart inverter interface software to residential and substation-based PV. This project aims to match local loads with rate structures to identify and resolve technical issues related to high penetration of renewable generation at the utility distribution level. The project will investigate and analyze additional consumer-based demand response opportunities using a modern communication infrastructure integrated with a Home Area Network (HAN), commercial building control systems and smart devices.
This project is the site of our October 2009 Smart Grid meeting

Southern California Edison (SCE) Project Overview
This project will deploy Smart Grid technologies to improve the operating performance of the local distribution systems and encourage customer participation in the control of electricity demand. The project will illustrate how aging infrastructure will function when combined with a diverse range of smart grid technologies; create a better understanding of issues related to integration among utilities and Independent System Operators; and provide a thorough analysis of associated benefits to customers and the environment. The integration efforts will span fundamental energy delivery segments such as system protection and automation, a centralized integrated control platform, distributed energy resources and an array of “edge of the network” devices. The Irvine Smart Grid Demonstration project is divided into four topic areas including: 1) Energy smart customer devices 2) Year 2020 distribution system 3) Secure energy network 4) Workforce of the future. Interacting components will create greater value by supplying additional information that is used to optimize the operation of the components, thus enhancing the reliability and efficiency of the entire system. The intent of the project is to produce an integrated system of protection, performance, efficiency, and economy that extends across the energy delivery system to provide multiple stakeholder benefits.
Duke Energy Project Overview
The objective of Duke Energy’s Smart Grid Demonstration Project is to optimize distributed energy resources especially as they relate to residential energy management and Plug-in Electric Vehicles. To achieve its goal, Duke Energy will install 40,000 advanced meters for customers, 8,000 communication nodes at transformers, and distribution automation including integrated voltage/VAR control, self healing, sectionalization, and line sensors. Five homes will be equipped with photovoltaic generation units, Lithium-ion batteries for storage, plug-in electric vehicles, and home energy management systems. The project will employ dynamic pricing for load control and intends for three to five hundred plug-in electric vehicles to be on the roads and charging by the end of A unique and valuable aspect of the project is the plan to evaluate commuter behavior and technical factors relating to charging and billing for charging PEVs in different utility service areas and measuring the impacts of multiple PEVs charging on the same transformer simultaneously.
Southern Company Project Overview
This project intends to approach the Smart Grid in a fully-integrated systems approach. Southern Company demonstrates a more complete model of a Smart Grid by incorporating an integrated distribution management system, renewable energy generation including PV, landfill gas, and wind, energy storage at transformer and substation level, an intelligent universal transformer, advanced distribution operational measures, customer response to dynamic pricing in two different demographic regions, and new communications applications. This enables Southern Company to create an overall aggregated virtual power plant, increase system reliability, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and lower system demand.
