1 Utilization of Automatic Meter Management in Smart Grid Development Elenia Verkko Oy Ville Sihvola Head of Marketing and Sales

2 Content of the presentation 1. What is Elenia Verkko Oy 2. The roadmap towards smart grids 3. How we have utilise automatic meter management in smart grid development?

3 Elenia Verkko Oy Elenia Verkko Turnover 211 M Employees 265 Customers Market share 12% (The 2 nd largest DSO in Finland) Finland Partnerships Network services Metering Data transfer Partners personnel Average person-years During peak situations 1000 person-years

4 Elenia Verkko - Asset Base 110 kv lines 1024 km 45 kv lines 409 km 110/20 kv substations 119 pc 45/20 kv substations 16 pc 20 kv lines km 0,4 kv lines km 20/0,4 kv transformers pc Network lines 160 m per customer Network lines a total of ~ km 1,5 times around the world

5 The Customer in the key role Customer Distribution companies Media Regulator Politicians

6 Advances in smart grid technology benefit customers AMR pilot 1st generation AMR roll-out Outage information Smart home E-mobility 2nd generation AMR roll-out Energy Efficiency Network quality Small scale generation 3rd generation of AMR meters

7 Elenia Verkko Oy is an early adapter of Smart Grids Smart control Network automation - Overhead lines Field communication FLIR Smart substations 3 4 Centralized and standardized outage management Faster fault location and isolation, reduction of affected customers Outage information FieldCom project AMR-DMS Automatic fault location, isolation and power restoration in medium voltage networks Network automation - Cable network - Centralized protection - Self-healing network sections - Camera monitoring and fully automated access control Low voltage automation Real-time services to customers, media and society Utilization of AMR queries and alarms in outage management Task management Smart functionality and interfaces for partners Remotely controllable kiosk type secondary substations, disconnectors and breakers Secondary substation monitoring and controllable LV breakers

8 Case: Online Energy Reporting Service Shows energy consumption data on an hourly basis in daily, weekly or monthly level Values are shown in kilowatt hours and euros Shows outside temperature and comparison groups based on customers background information The latest value from the day before yesterday Transparency of customers energy consumption and billing Contributes to effective energy usage Delivers information quickly 24/7 Fulfils regulatory demands (2014)

9 Case: Network losses and hourly measures Network losses in general All the energy that is fed into the distribution network (entry points) but not delivered to the customers Major share of the loss energy is the losses in wires and transformers About three to five percent of the total energy (which is fed into the network) is lost Network loss reporting in Elenia AMR technology is used to measure network losses in hourly level In Elenia purchase of network losses has been based on hourly measures since April 2012 Information about network losses can be used in: Netowork planning Netowork operating Controlling of administrative losses

10 Case: Optimisation of outage management via AMR technology AMR-DMS integration allows the extension of remotely monitored network to cover the low voltage network - Verification of power supply at customer premises - Recognition of zero conductor faults, phase faults and faults in the customer network - Location of broken medium voltage conductors Shortens outage duration and improves efficiency Improves customer service Reduces unnecessary visits to customer sites Improves safety Remotely monitored network with AMR-DMS integration Remotely monitored network earlier High voltage network Medium voltage network Low voltage network Substations Distribution transformers Customers

11 Case: Real-time outage information services available 24/7 We provide 24/7 service for our customers Trouble calls phone Automatic interactive voice response (IVR) Personal customer service Real-time outage map on the Internet Real-time SMS and messages of outages SMS outage service has been very successful customers served today Over SMS messages in 2010 Customer-specific outage information service integrates network automation, customer information and phone systems as well as our Internet services. Same real-time information available transparently to our contact centre, dispatch centre, customers and media.

12 Smart Grids today Smart meters and invoicing based on consumption Individual online consumption report for each customer Smart meters monitor each customer in the network area First time in the world in this scale Automated service in power interruptions The network is controlled remotely by the smart grid 3D photographs to maintain the electricity network Development towards weather-proofing the network Underground cabling Automated fault location, isolation and power restoration
