3 Current State of the U.S. Distribution System EEI Webinar July 11, :00 3:30 p.m. EDT Alexandra von Meier Co-Director, Electric Grid Research Barbara Tyran Director, Washington & State Relations Jared Green Project Manager, Smart Grid 5 Transmission vs Distribution 6 3
4 Distribution System Overview US Electric Distribution system has about 60,000 substations and roughly 500,000 circuits with 6 million miles of wire and cable serving 144 million customers 7 Diversity of US distribution circuits: 500,000 circuits, but no two are exactly alike Differences within and among utilities are historical geographic climate topography population density socio economics Differences drive load characteristics, system design and operation many local idiosyncracies... Distribution systems are extremely data rich 8 4
5 Distribution System Overview 9 Central Generation Distribution substation Transmission substation Distribution transformer
6 Transmission System Redundant Design 11 Distribution System Radial Design radial vs. transmission s redundant network designed for one way power flow
7 Distribution System Design Old design paradigm: If it works at peak load, it always works. Not. 13 Distribution Systems: Protection Key Attributes: Mainly radial lines; network systems in urban centers Location of fault determine # of customers interrupted Limited number of sensors restricts ability to determine location of fault 14 7
8 Distribution Protection A Key aspect of radial architecture: Coordination of circuit protection C 15 Distribution Protection Zone A 16 8
9 Distribution Protection Zone A Zone B 17 Distribution Protection Zone A Zone B Zone C 18 9
10 Distribution Protection Zone A Zone B Zone C Zone D 19 Distribution Protection with DER 20 10
11 Distribution Protection with DER SUBSTATION FEEDER Breaker Increased Fault Current May Cause Fuse-Breaker Coordination Problems Fuse Lateral Fault DG 21 Distribution Protection with DER SUBSTATION Breaker Fault Breaker FEEDER This breaker trips too! Lateral DG Note: substation radial feeder protection is not usually equipped with directional relays and so substation relay cannot discriminate between forward or reverse faults
12 Distribution Engineering: Variation of circuits creates engineering challenges with DER Distribution circuit design challenges: Less help from statistics Irregularities play a greater role load (real power) power factor (reactive power) voltage drop phase imbalance bl generation 23 Distribution System Loading: Macro View at Substation Summer Peaking Substation MW Winter Peaking Substation :00 AM 2:00 AM 4:00 AM 6:00 AM 8:00 AM MW 12:00 AM 2:00 AM 4:00 AM 6:00 AM 8:00 AM 10:00 AM 10:00 AM 12:00 PM 12:00 PM 2:00 PM 4:00 PM 6:00 PM 8:00 PM 10:00 PM 12:00 AM 2:00 PM 4:00 PM 6:00 PM 8:00 PM 10:00 PM 12:00 AM 24 12

14 Voltage regulation ± 5% Conservation Voltage Reduction 27 permissible range violation Voltage regulation Substation transformer allows adjustment of initial voltage level through moveable connection (load tap changer, LTC). If feeder is long and voltage drop is too steep to stay within range throughout, out, further adjustments are made along the way (voltage regulators or capacitors). violation violation 28 14
15 Real vs Reactive Power Real vs Reactive Power w/der 30 15
16 Opportunity for Improvement Need for End to End Efficiency Framework The power industry uses approximately 12 15% of the electricity produced (nearly 300 billion kwh in T&D losses in US for example) Industry should look at entire electricity chain for efficiency improvement opportunities & to reduce carbon footprint 31 Distribution System Efficiency: Green Circuits Project Distribution Efficiency Improving Opportunity 1. Reduce Distribution Line losses 2. Reduce Equipment Losses 3. Improve Utilization Technologies to Improve Distribution Efficiency 1A. Re Conductoring 1B. Phase Balancing 1C. Capacitor Placement, Var Control Strategy 2A. Distribution Transformers (High Efficiency and Amorphous Metal Transformers) 3A. Voltage Optimization/Conservation Voltage Reduction (CVR) 3B.

Aging infrastructure is increasingly a major factor Average age of systems are increasing Individual components are operating beyond expected life Dynamic operating conditions may accelerate failures of older equipment U.S. Distribution Equipment Age 30% Beyond Expected Life 49% Near Expected Life Within Expected Life 21% Source: Black & Veatch 2008 Electric Utility Survey Utility Pole Age Example Source: HarrisWilliams adapted from Quanta 34 17
