Key Business Requirements for Utilities are Changing

Top 3 CEO Priorities in Utilities
Improve Energy Efficiency (Combat Climate Change) Adapting Utility Enterprises to Market Liberalization; Achieve Compliance to Market Rules

Key Business Requirements

Main Future Themes

AMI/Smart Grid Renewables Virtual Utilities Emissions

Major Impact
Paradigm shift in relationship to customers Restructuring of many traditional business processes

Support customers in saving energy and energy costs Invest in Smart Grid technology Invest in renewable energy resources Manage, monitor, trade the enterprise carbon footprint

Execute unbundling process and decide on the business you want to be in Redefine the business according to supported service provider roles Understand re-organization as an opportunity to quickly deploy best-in-class business practices Achieve compliance to local market rules and legal requirements Position enterprise in a globalizing market (M&A, disinvestments, diversification) Compete for customers/retain customers in deregulated markets Engage with customers and cooperate with customers (to improve energy efficiency) Reduce costs through attractive customer self-services Improve customer service at lower costs through efficient user interface

Unbundling Privatization ERetailer Market Flows

Paradigm shift in the structure of Utility Enterprises and market structures results in an industry segmentation with each segment having very specific needs E-Retailer is no longer a Utility

Key Drivers Regulatory Mandate

In the US, The Federal Energy Act of 2007 has language that fosters the advancement of Smart Grid but leaves it to the states to define its requirements Three states have issued directives for the implementation of Smart Grid technology and many others are exploring options

Copyright 2011 Accenture All Rights Reserved.

11

Key Drivers Aging Grid and Reliability

Massive investment will be needed to upgrade the transmission and distribution grid over the next 10 years; 60% of the existing equipment will need to be replaced It is estimated that the cost of power outages and quality disturbances to the U.S. economy is over $100 billion Need for automation is also generated by the estimate that 50% of the North American technical workforce is expected to reach retirement age in 5 to 10 years

12

Key Drivers Future Generation Need/Network Management

Plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHV) are likely to increase the stress on the distribution network Future development in distributed generation will also affect the design and operation of the distribution network

The grid will need to be able to handle intermittency and peak shaving technologies like battery banks

Copyright 2011 Accenture All Rights Reserved.

13

Key Drivers Customer Needs and Requirements

Under rising costs of energy, customers are likely to demand a more granular level of information to reduce their bills and contribute to the conservation of the environment The use of more flexible pricing mechanisms, such as Time of Usage and Critical Peak Pricing, will require implementation of automation

Copyright 2011 Accenture All Rights Reserved.

14

Key Drivers Impact on the Environment

Peak shaving and load shifting reduce reserve requirements which reduce total energy required Energy efficiency can reduce energy usage thus reducing carbon emissions Capital deferment and distributed generation reduces the need for additional future generation or power plants

Copyright 2011 Accenture All Rights Reserved.

15

Key Drivers Technology Evolution

Automated Meter Reading is quickly becoming obsolete, and vendor support costs for old systems are likely to increase exponentially In the face of new capital investment, new technology, such as Advanced Metering Infrastructure may be the cheaper solution

Smart Grid: A Definition

A Smart Grid is an intelligent network that uses sensing, embedded processing, digital communications, and software to manage network-derived information, thus making itself:

Observable
Measure the states of all grid elements

Controllable
Affect the state of any grid element

Automated
Adapt and selfheal

Integrated
Connected to utility processes and systems

Lexploitation du rseau radio : 3 activits lies

La supervision a objectif de dtecter et localiser les incidents qui peuvent provenir aussi bien de la chane communicante ou du systme dinformation. La supervision permet dune part de dterminer lopration corrective apporter (la maintenance planifie et ralise cette opration) et dautre part, danticiper les incidents en suivant lvolution des indicateurs cls (la maintenance met jour la gamme de maintenance). La maintenance a pour mission dtablir la politique de maintenance (gamme de maintenance, modes opratoires) de la solution. Elle planifie les oprations de maintenance et ralise les interventions. Une partie de la maintenance peut tre ralise distance sur la chane communicante depuis le SI AMR. Planification radio : La planification radio consiste dterminer la localisation idale des concentrateurs (20 000 au plus) sur lensemble du territoire, de sorte de couvrir de manire optimale lensemble des compteurs communicants.

Pourquoi une planification radio ?

La planification radio consiste dterminer la localisation idale des concentrateurs (20 000 au plus) sur lensemble du territoire, de sorte de couvrir de manire optimale lensemble des compteurs communicants :
La planification radio vise une couverture radio de lensemble des compteurs tous segments confondus (rsidentiels et industriels) La planification radio ne garantit pas la couverture radio des postes qui seraient potentiellement tlexploits

Des outils spcifiques (cf. IHM) permettent de dterminer de manire thorique la couverture des concentrateurs en fonction de lenvironnement
Permet de localiser les zones non couvertes par comparaison des mesures remontes par la Chane communicante (relation avec la supervision) et lors des changements de points hauts (perte dun hbergeur, extension du rseau, etc.) Enjeux :

Optimiser la couverture radio et donc maximiser la transmission des donnes de comptage Minimiser le nombre de concentrateurs dployer, et donc le nombre dquipements installer et de conventions dhbergement ngocier Vrifier lligibilit des bailleurs selon la couverture thorique attendue
