1 The Smart Grid: Utility Master Energy & Sustainability Planning Gene Rodrigues Director, Customer Energy Efficiency & Solar Southern California Edison CMAA Long Beach, CA May 5, 2011

2 About Southern California Edison One of the nation s largest investorowned utilities with 125 years of service Service Area 50,000 square miles Over 430 cities and communities Nearly 14 million residents In last 5 years, EE programs saved more than 8 billion kwh Enough to power more than 1.1 million homes for an entire year Resultant greenhouse gas emission reduction = Equivalent of taking 700,000 cars off the road. Leading U.S.. Largest DR. Edison SmartConnect. Largest private purchaser of portfolio in wins industry EV fleet in the renewable energy California leadership award country 2

3 A Changing Paradigm In How We Serve Customers How people use energy is changing How people manage their usage is changing Where people get energy is changing The network is changing 3

4 CA Policies Require a Smarter, More Advanced Grid Most aggressive policies in the United States *This list is not comprehensive. Other energy policies or other drivers, e.g. R.A.M.F.I.T. or DG proposals, will also impact utility planning and operations

5 Solution: SCE s Smart Grid Vision A cleaner, more diverse generation supply. A smarter and more reliable electricity grid. Serving customers who are using electricity more wisely, and in more ways, than ever before. Hydro Edison SmartConnect meter Natural Gas Natural Gas Nuclear Renewables Plug-in hybrid vehicles Expanded, enhanced transmission Expanded, enhanced transmission Cleaner, more efficient distribution Cleaner, more efficient distribution 5 Copyright 2008, Southern California Edison Energy-storage Energy-storage possibilities for possibilities communities, for communities, homes, and homes, intermittent and intermittent resources resources

6 A Smarter Grid Will Provide Lasting Benefits Empower customers to become active participants in the energy supply chain Maximize workforce productivity, effectiveness, and safety by using enabling tools Integrate and manage new sources of renewable and distributed energy supply and storage Enable the grid to automatically adjust to changing loads and supply requirements Use better intelligence and technology for optimal system planning 6

7 The Smart Grid Is a Complex System of Systems MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS Monitoring & Control Work Mgmt Asset Mgmt Customer Information Enhanced Data Management Cyber Security System of Systems Integration Advanced Data Storage & Processing Human-System Interface & Visualization Situational Awareness COMMUNICATION NETWORKS INTELLIGENT FIELD DEVICES Monitoring Control Protection Adaptable Wireless Networks High Bandwidth Two-Way Communications Secure & Standardized Diverse Communications Advanced Technologies IP Interconnections Low Latency Renewable Integration Device Interoperability Distributed Generation Energy Storage Dynamic Pricing Electric Transportation Grid Automation & Intelligence Enhanced Energy Management SCE S ELECTRIC INFRASTRUCTURE GENERATION TRANSMISSION DISTRIBUTION CUSTOMER 7

8 Irvine Smart Grid Demonstration Project SCE, its partners and the DOE are conducting a demonstration to analyze smart grid technologies and impacts at scale Project seeks to verify, quantify, and validate the feasibility of integrating Smart Grid technologies. Demonstration will analyze multiple areas of smart grid technology, including: Distribution Automation HAN Efficacy PEV Energy Storage Solar PV Generation Cyber Security 8

9 Block 1: Control Group Block 1: Control Block Serves as baseline and will not include new technology 9

10 Block 2: Community Storage Block 2: Community Storage Smart appliances: Refrigerator Washer Dishwasher Demand Response equipment: Appliance communications module 3 kw Photovoltaic (PV) system In-home displays Programmable communicating thermostats 10

13 Smart Grid Will Enable The Smart Energy Home Residential Solar Panel Micro-wind Turbine Smart Energy Devices Daylighting Web Tools Smart Appliances Plug-in Electric Vehicle Smart Meter CFLs 13

14 California Policy: Build More Efficiently California Long Term Energy Efficiency Strategic Plan Statewide roadmap to achieve cost-effective energy efficiency. Establishes far-reaching aspirational goals for California s energy future: All new residential construction in California Zero net energy by 2020 All new commercial construction in California Zero net energy by 2030 Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) industry and market transformed to ensure that energy performance is optimal for California s climate All eligible low-income customers opportunity to participate in EE and will be provided all cost effective energy efficiency measures in their residences by

15 SCE is Promoting the Design & Construction of Energy Efficient Buildings Savings by Design Nonresidential Building Design & Construction New construction builders and buyers can receive design assistance, owner incentives, design team incentives, and energy design resources to incorporate energy efficiency into the construction plans. Incentives of up to $500,000 for Owner / Developer; Up to $50,000 for Design Team Leader. California Advanced Homes Residential New Construction Design assistance, technical education and services, and financial incentives to encourage home builders to build homes that exceed California s Title 24 code standards by at least 15%. Incentives increase incrementally as the performance of the structure increases. 15

16 SCE s New Construction Programs Are Complemented by a Portfolio of Over 100 Additional EE Programs Core Third Party Targeted Residential Lighting Multifamily Rebates Home Appliances Rebates Appliance Recycling Plug Load/Consumer Electronics Food & Kindred Products Industrial Gases Comprehensive Petroleum Refining Nonmetallic Minerals & Products Private College Campus Housing Commercial EE Small Business Direct Installation Agricultural EE Industrial EE Comprehensive HVAC Efficient Affordable Housing Entertainment Centers Primary & Fabricated Metals Comprehensive Chemical Products Comprehensive Manufactured Homes New Construction Education & Training Codes & Standards Marketing & Outreach Partnership Energy Leader Partnership Program Palm Desert City of Beaumont South Bay Ventura County Institutional & Government Partnerships UC/CSU CA Community Colleges CA Department of Corrections & Rehabilitation State of California Low Income Energy Savings Assistance California Alternate Rates for Energy Family Electric Rate Assistance Emerging Technology Technology Assessments Scaled Field Placements Demonstration Showcases Market and Behavioral Studies Technology Development Support Business Incubation Support Technology Test Centers *Not a comprehensive list 16
