Working Towards a Better Future

The Grid of the Future must be Integrated, Sustainable, and Smart

● Customers have choice, control, and flexibility in their energy usage

● Distributed resources (e.g. solar) can easily connect to the grid

Reliable/Smart● The grid can dynamically self

optimize with limited human interaction, anticipating and mitigating failures

● Customers very rarely experience an interruption

● Society is positively impacted through reduced waste, strengthened local economies, and safe work environments

Presentation Notes

Discuss how we see the Grid of the Future 1.a) Short Term for Customer Enabling: Offer flexible payment options to all customers (prepaid, etc.) Provide usage data and alerts to customers so they can make informed choices 2.b) Provide customers with choice and flexibility in their energy use, including enabling connecting DER to the grid Provide next generation of energy solutions to give customers choice and control 2.a)Short term for reliable /smart: Reduce momentaries, number/duration of sustained outages, and customers impacted Proactively share accurate/timely outage info to help customers plan Restore power faster with automation 2.b)Longer Term for reliable / smart Ensure faults very rarely impact customers Prevent animals/natural events from triggering interruptions Anticipate and mitigate outages without impacting the customer Self Healing teams play a key role in making the grid increasingly reliable and smart

Presentation Notes

Example: The work we are doing at McAlpine Microgrid Scope: Incorporate Distribution Standard recommended equipment to build a fully functional inverter based microgrid – provide resiliency to a critical facility. Allow the fire station to operate during prolonged grid outages. Equipment: Uses ‘off the shelf’ components so our line techs can support the project (allows more integrated support). All equipment is owned and operated by Duke Energy with no alterations behind the customer meter. Microgrid Controller – Schweitzer Engineering Viper reclosers – G&W Electric Recloser Controllers - Schweitzer Engineering Test Plan: Successful operation since July 2015 Efficiency and Duration Testing (throughout 2016) – understand with solar and battery how efficient the design is; what kind of support can we provide to the fire station if they experience an outage (how many days in a row can they operate) Provide input for simulation and design of future microgrid projects
