UOF Infrastructure
& Energy Ops:
Intelligent Grid
(Integrated Market Hub)
► AMR/AMI (customer interface)
► Utility customer systems
► Utility operating & delivery systems
► Regional market interface & system
(RTO/ISOs, power pool, etc.)
► Market-side monitoring/verification

Resource Portfolios
Integrated Energy Supply Portfolio Operations
 Time-based data analysis/comm/control functionality (MDM)
 System reliability & planning (ancillary, OMS, SCADA/GIS)
 Balanced portfolio management (supply/demand/usage)
- Energy efficiency, DR/DSM, TOU/CPP, etc.
- Renewables & environmental (carbon)
- Distributed energy resources (DER)
 Dmd response infrastructure (DRI) & “intelligent” dispatch
 Customer satisfaction & segment service/value benefit

Legislative and Environmental Impacts



Senate Bill 3 mandates cooperatives
generate 10 percent of their energy from
renewable energy sources or through energy
efficiency programs.
Climate change impacts
Carbon wildcard

UOF Example: Potential Electric Sector Carbon Reduction (EPRI’s PRISM
technology capability assessment)
EIA 2007 Reference Case
(Annual Energy Outlook ’07)
DER = Distributed energy resources (including solar)
“5th Fuel”
DR/efficiency are
key resources for
“Bridging the Gap”
Source: EPRI, The Power to Reduce CO2 Emissions: The Full Portfolio, 2007 Summer Seminar
Key Assumptions:
• Specific sequence of RD&D activities identifiable
• RD&D supports wide-scale deployment by 2030
• No economic or political constraints
• Aggressive but feasible reduction targets

Where is Technology Heading

Technology integration of supply chain
 Currently, some technology integration exist between G&T Power Supplier(s) and G&T- Distribution Cooperatives.
 Seamless technology integration is needed between G&T,
Cooperative, and end consumers for efficiency and reliability.
 Intelligent or smart grid technology similar to computer network is
needed to maintain the future power requirements.
 More Intelligent devices on the power network to monitor and
maintain the reliability.
8
Cooperatives Have a Key Role



Assist with technology integration (up and
down stream)
Provide more products/services to
cooperative members
Play a key role in CO2 emission, energy
efficiency and other green energy programs
to help meet REPS requirements

New Technology Trends






Renewable energy resources e.g. solar, wind, other
Fuel cell technology (Microcell alternatives)
Home automation to allow better energy conservation and control of
appliances e.g. Zigbee, WiMax, others.
New intelligent devices on power line and substations to provide
better information during outages and increase reliability.
More intelligent devices means more data to store (mine) and
analyze.
Radio Frequency ID (RFID)
Technology – Microcell Assembly
Unicell
Module
10
New Technology Trends

Zigbee Enabled Devices for
home use



Monitor and manage energy
usage and conservation using
Zigbee enabled devices.
All Zigbee enabled devices
provide information to a central
control panel.
Allows central management of
lighting, heating, cooling, and
other systems to improve
efficiency and conserve
energy.
11
Other Technology Integration




Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) – integration of different
disjointed systems and data exchange
Multiprotocol Layer Switching (MPLS) – next generation
intelligent network
Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) – Utilizing IP network for
voice, data, video, and other services
Network monitoring tools like Orion -automated notification of
events e.g. interruption in network, power, computer equipment,
and other services
