Presentation Notes

The IntelliGrid Consortium is a broad-based alliance of energy, high-tech, and government organizations working together to create the power system of the future. The Consortium leverages EPRI’s ability to bring together all stakeholders to pool their collective strengths and resources to define and execute the applied R&D necessary to realize the IntelliGrid vision. Participation in the consortium gives participants a leadership role in creating the future grid and a head start on adopting the IntelliGrid framework. Participation helps ensure that R&D projects address their company’s interests, and provides insights into new business opportunities that IntelliGrid will make possible. To transform the power delivery system, a collaborative effort among public and private stakeholders is needed. To achieve a transformation as expansive and as critical as this, all stakeholders must be engaged. Each stakeholder has a critical role, each role is interrelated.

Agenda….

• EPRI’s Involvement in Smart Grid– IntelliGrid Architecture

• Designing the Foundation of Smart Grid

– Smart Grid Demonstration• Accelerating Standards through Field Demonstrations

– Accelerating the adoption of Demand Response (DR) Ready Appliances• Establish stakeholder group, identify gaps, initiate activities

to fill that gap


Smart Grid Demonstration Approach

• Integration

– Integrated deployment of distributed resource technologies leveraging the information and communication technology (ICT) that will be deployed by the host utility

– Integration of distributed resources with utility system operations

• Interoperability

– Accelerate standard development through demonstrating use of common language to exchange information with distributed resources from various manufacturers

– Multiple use of communication and metering infrastructure for control, measurement & verification of the dispatchable resource

Shared Learning from Multiple Demonstrations and Use of EPRI’s IntelliGrid Architecture will Lend to Expandability, Scalability, and Repeatability
