Electrification Changed The World In The 20th Century, But
Faces Significant Challenges In The 21st Century
The world’s population is expected to reach 9 billion by 2050; electricity’s global
impact must be even greater in the 21st century to meet the world’s growing
energy needs

Without greater investment, the existing U.S. system will not reliably support
the increasing demand for energy

And Infrastructure…

…Causing Outages That Cost Customers Billions Annually
U.S. economic cost of outages
$ billions/year
300
 Today, outage costs represent 1% of
GDP
 This loss represents a cost of $0.50
for every $1 spent on electricity
 Technology investments could
reduce outage costs by 50-80%

 If no investment is made to
transform the grid system, the
annual cost of outages could reach

A Slate Of Breakthrough Technologies Are On The
Horizon…
Stage 3:
Potential future

Stage 2:
Near-term technology
Stage 1:
Current technology
 Automated switching
 Smart appliances
 Digital fault analysis
 Power quality
monitoring services
 Broadband over Power
Line
 Customized power
service packages
 Advanced load
management with smart
appliances
 AC/DC microgrids
 Advanced distributed
energy solutions
TXU Electric Delivery is investing in today’s leading-edge technology, but more
will be required as new “game changers” become commercially available

…Requiring Significant Investment To Realize The Full
Benefits

investment would have to increase by 65% and the 20-year total is over $850

“Self-Healing” Technologies Will Change The Way We
Manage And Respond To Outages…
2
Customer calls outage in
and Operations Center
receives notification
3 Dispatcher notifies field
technician who inspects entire
feeder for outage source; average
restoration time of 40 mins.
1 Tree limb falls on
line causing a
feeder outage
2 Automated switches
reconfigure system to
restore service to majority
of customers within 1 min.
3 Disruption location pinpointed
and service restored to remaining
customers within 24 mins.
Where deployed, automation technology enhances customer service
by eliminating sustained interruptions for 2/3 of the customers and reducing restoration
time up to 40% for the remaining 1/3 of the customers
13
…And Digital Fault Analysis Could Prevent Disruptions…
 A tree limb was hanging
over a line, causing 17
poletop recloser operations
over 23 hours
 There were no substation
breaker trips, so Operations
did not recognize a problem
 The tree limb burned down
the line, locking out the
recloser and interrupting
140 customers for 62 mins.

Advancements And Investments In Technology Can
Provide The Solution To The World’s Energy Needs
 The world is facing bigger energy challenges than ever before
– Digital economy
– World population will increase more than 33% by 2050
– 25% of the world has little or no access to power (and
growing)
 Investments in technology and infrastructure can provide
universal electrification
– In the U.S. alone, GDP could increase by $3 trillion
– In the world, GDP could increase by $11 trillion
 Technology advances will drive benefits for society
– Better reliability and power quality
– Innovative products and services allowing customer choice
and control over energy usage
– Improved safety and security of the system
