The Future of Energy: Building a Smart System Mr. Roddy Diotalevi Senior Director, UI
What is the Smart Grid? EPRI’s definition to NIST: § The term ‘Smart Grid’ refers to a modernization of the electricity delivery system so it monitors, protects, and automatically optimizes the operation of its interconnected elements – from the central and distributed generator through the high voltage network and distribution system, to industrial users and building automation systems, to energy storage installations and to end-use consumers and their thermostats, electric vehicles, appliances, and other household devices.

Home Area Network (HAN) § Provides near real-time information for the customer to better manage their energy use § Creates opportunities for customers to save energy. – Dynamic Pricing – Residential Demand Response – Integration of distributed resources § Enables next generation energy efficiency applications – Electric Vehicles and Smart Appliances
UI’s HAN Pilot Objective – Evaluate HAN system solutions including devices, software, and implementation process in order to determine costs, benefits, and potential program offerings to the customer § Initial pilot to include approximately 925 households § HAN devices - Tendril & Energy Hub – In-home display, programmable t-stats, controllable plugs, EVSEs § Research study with UC Davis – Assess customer engagement & savings § Explore potential programs during pilot – Demand Response – Dynamic Pricing – Integration of Behavioral component § Assess applicability to other customer segments – Business customers are often more sensitive to price – Open to innovative product and service offerings that boost profitability.
HAN Challenges § Customer engagement and education § Benefit / Cost of investment § Rapid evolution of technology § National standards for data privacy, cybersecurity and interoperability § Bandwidth availability of AMI § Hype vs. reality around smart grid programs
Electric Vehicles UI’s EV Goals EVs are coming to CT § Goal of 25, 000 electric cars statewide by 2020 § Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Council – Strategize on preparing CT for rapid & seamless integration of EVs into the market – (http: //www. ct. gov/ecd/lib/ecd/ev_final_recommendation_9. 1. 10. pdf) § Key Recommendations – Gain early access to EVs – Enact Legislation to incent EV adoption – Support build-out of EV charging infrastructure – Develop policies for rates, pricing, and charging options – Collaborate to develop regional corridor for public charging
Preparing for EV Arrival UI’s EV Pilot UI Activities § Provide leadership and educate customers on EV technology § Stay engaged with stakeholders – EVIC, REVI, EDTA, EPRI, EEI, etc. § Build-out of EV charging infrastructure – EVSE pilot for 10 - 12 charging stations underway § Explore residential charging options – First Volt has arrived – 95% of EV charging will occur at home § Assess impact to distribution system – Impacts are most severe on transformers and low voltage wires § Assess future opportunities, such as “Smart Charging” and “Vehicle-2 -Grid”
