The Integrated Grid:Achieving Sustainability Through Integration
• Perspective• The Grid Today• Vision of The Future Grid• Path to the Future Grid• Case Study• Closing Remarks
Perspective• A Russian astrophysicist, Nikolai Kardashev
established a measurement of evolution of a civilization based on its ability to harness energy. – Type I Civilization – Harness Power from the Planet (Solar, Wind, Water,
Mechanical Energy of Moving Parts, and Temperature Gradients)
– Type II Civilization – Harness Power of the Solar System
– Type III Civilization – Harness Power of the Galaxy
Perspective• Dr. Michio Kaku, a Theoretical Physicist uses Nikolai’s
classification scale to describe our current civilization in his book, Physics of the Impossible.
• What type did Dr Michio Kaku classify our current civilization? Type 0
Challenges With The Grid Today
Capacity & Supply
• Central supply costs increasing
• New generation challenges
• Distributed energy resource integration needed to reach environmental targets
Reliability & Ops● Assets are aging
● Technical losses are growing
● Faults are increasing due to increased stress and age
Demand Management● Demand increasing beyond supply
capacity
● Growth is where supply is not
● Existing meter infrastructure is inadequate
Information Technology● Systems are not prepared for
emerging applications
● Limited network management capability
● Inadequate communications
The Grid TodayOpportunities:• T&D losses – 6-8%, $20 billion/yr• Losses from outages $100-164 billion/yr• Power Quality Losses $15-24 billion/yr• Global Warming from 32 billion metric
tons of CO2 • 8.3 billion people on Earth in 2030
Vision of the Future Grid
Edge Intelligence
Monitoring & control interfaces to the edge of the distribution grid
Communications Infrastructure
Two-way, real-time communications
between operations and distributed devices
Analytics & Modeling
Solutions with the intelligence to analyze and model data are
value multipliers
Integrated Management
Energy delivery, consumption & storage
are managed in an integrated system
Path to the Future Grid

Path to the Future Grid
Utilize Energy StorageManage storage and use of energy from distributed energy storage assets, shifting when energy is produced and when energy is consumed.
Firm Distributed Renewables & GenerationIntegrate management of renewable generation with storage, load management and distributed generation.
Emergency Load ReductionIn an emergency, total non-critical load can be dispatched regardless of program rules to protect assets and assure reliable supply.
Market vs. Operational Load ReductionIncrease the value of load reduction by utilizing it for market and operational needs.
Fast 2-Way CommunicationsProvide real-time monitoring and control capabilities to both utility stakeholders and end-customer so that energy assets and loads are utilized in the most effective ways.
Integration FlexibilityProvide an easy and low cost way of integrating new generation, sensor, or metering technologies into a unified system.
Path to the Future Grid• Security• Intensive Processing Power (Central &
Distributed)• Fast Real-Time Communications• Integration of Renewables• Advanced Optimization Models• System Modularity• Innovation and Technology Advancement
Key Benefits of DER Grid Integration
Overall● Unify the benefits of renewable
and distributed generation, energy storage and load resources into a single controlled system
● Improve DER ROI and asset monetization
● Reduce Environmental Impact
● Facilitate Sustainability
Operational● Integrate & manage multiple classes of DER assets
● Optimized DER dispatch to support reliability, efficiency, economic, environmental and other operational goals
● Project expected load throughout the grid based on historical data and weather forecasts to identify and respond to critical situations
● Improve asset protection through better locational capacity & load control
● Enhance configuration and state estimation capability
Case StudyExample Deployment of Grid Integration
Opportunity
Relieve congestion and improved reliability of circuits with highest peak load relative to capacity to delay substation upgrades and meet environmental goals
DER Case Study – FirstEnergy/JCP&L
Results Initial project approved for inclusion in rate base
by NJBPU
Selected by the EPRI as one of three regional smart grid demonstration projects
Turn-key project manages 5 MW of load for 4,000 customers on 3 targeted circuits
Demonstrated significant yield per managed load with optimized algorithms based on specific, real-time customer load and premise temperature data.
Project approved for expansion by NJBPU and expansion is underway to mange 15 MW of load for 10,000 customers
iDER™ assets include load and storage
Solution
BPLG and FirstEnergy/JCP&L co-developed iDER™ – integrated Distributed Energy Resource Management – to coordinate use of load, storage & renewables as grid resources

Closing Remarks1. With true grid integration and fast moving innovation
we are on the verge of becoming a Type I Civilization which by definition is sustainable.
2. There are social, economic, cultural, political, technological drivers that shape the trajectory to sustainability.
3. We have to the power and the challenge to transform civilization to achieve energy sustainability.
4. Integration of the grid is the next step on our path to sustainability.
