Convergence of Information and Telecommunications Across Energy Value Chain

New York’s Smart Grid

Resilient

Flexible

Efficient

Affordable

• Reduces costs

• Spurs economic growth

• Promotes environmental goals

• Increases security

Investment results in substantial benefits and meets NY’s energy challenges

The Consortium is a gathering place for

the leading ideas in grid technology as

New York’s grid is modernized.

A unique public-private partnership comprised of major utilities, global-

scale technology developers, research institutions, and government

entities.

Introduction / Overview

Regional Initiative – Focus Long Island's Key Energy Related Technology Resources into

advancing the development and implementation of the Smart Grid

– LIPA, Stony Brook University w/ Advanced Energy and Research Center (AERTC) & Farmingdale State College

– DOE funding of $12.5 million

– Matched by SUNY Research Foundation and LIPA

Create Long Island’s 1st Integrated Smart Energy Corridor

Route 110 – Long Island’s Central Business Corridor

Goals of the Initiative

Smart Grid Demonstration – Deploy 2-way communications and automation technologies

Enhance end to end operations and reliability of three circuits to benefit customers

– Develop a comprehensive assessment process Analyze the value of the data obtained in order to apply these findings to future

applications of this technology

Green Job Creation – Utilize Long Island's Energy Technology Development Resources

Create the technologies and new businesses necessary for a 21st century grid

Green Skill Training – Utilize Long Island's Energy Education capabilities

Develop and train the Green Jobs necessary for a 21st century grid

Customer Benefits

Improve Service Reliability – Automatic outage detection and notification

– Customer specific restoration confirmation

– Enhanced circuit diagnostics and trouble-shooting

– Intelligent circuit switching and routing

– Reduce response and restoration times

Receive tools showing timely and detailed information about their energy use through: – Web Portal and/or

– Mobile App/In Home Display

Receive upgrade of Direct Load Control Equipment

12

Customer Benefits (continued) Provide usage knowledge

– Allows customers to save money by switching to alternative time of use rate plans

Convenience of meter reads – Without a visit from the meter reader

Allow customers to more easily integrate green technologies

• Solar

• Wind

• Electric Vehicles

13

Utility Benefits

Improve service reliability – Enhanced intelligence regarding circuit condition

– More timely and accurate

Improve data/tools for planning studies – Systems have the ability to provide enhanced data to planners

Evaluating data and developing tools/processes to utilize this additional information in the future.

– Enhancement of the efficient use of energy in the corridor

– Tools/programs/processes developed that use the data in an effective manner Through the collaborative effort with the Universities

Improve intelligence – Regarding the value of deploying technology
