Ed Gray
VP, Legislative & Regulatory Affairs
• Federal: – EPAct 2005, EISA 2007, ARRA 2009, (PURPA 1978), new energy legislation– White House Smart Grid Subcommittee– DOE– FERC– FCC– NIST interoperability standards
• State PUCs: MI (2006, 07, 08, GLEMS 09), PA, MD, IL, OH, TX, NJ, NY, KS, 41 overall NARUC, MARC, principal Elster focus has been AMI functional requirements
• Standards groups: national & Canada– ANSI C12 series, international–IEC 61968 Part 9
• Regional groups: PJM, MADRI • Trade Associations
– GridWise Alliance– National Electrical Manufacturers Association– American Public Power Association– Edison Electric Institute– Utilities Telecom Council– Peak Load Management Alliance
Influential in the Direction of the Smart Grid
Regulatory Strategy• Work with trade associations, utilities, and
governmental bodies nationwide promoting:– Technology neutrality– Widespread competition lower cost solution to
consumers– Appropriate social and economic benefits for
consumers
A Partner with Utilities
• Supporting utilities’ primary objectives:– Participation in regulatory process– Providing “best practices” and associated
case studies – Defining technology requirements – Protection against stranded assets– Defining cost recovery options
Elster Involvement at Federal level
• FCC Broadband Plan: – wireless broadband everywhere– new spectrum for smart grid
• DOE: supporting smart grid grants– Defining requirements with awardees – Providing reporting metrics
• Shaping cyber security standards– DOE, DHS, NIST, GWAC, NERC…
• Influence federal Process for adoption and scope of NIST Standards by FERC
• Influence White House smart grid subcommittee– developing a framework for all the diverse smart grid work
Congress initiated SmartGrid interoperability effort
• EISA 2007 Section 1305 gives NIST the primary responsibility to coordinate ‘framework’ development; as per EISA:– Scope for Information management
• protocols • model standards
– Product scope• Generation and Transmission (possible mandatory
standards under FERC)• Consumer appliances (possible voluntary standards)• …..NIST expansion…to include Electric Distribution System
– The interoperability standards purpose: define the standards for federal smart grid grants.
Elster’s solutions are proven to be interoperable
• Solutions for utilities must be interoperable with existing legacy systems– Elster’s 81+ deployments
• Proven interoperability with many suppliers – Elster’s strategy, participate in standards
development influencing future applications • Example: NEMA SG-AMI 1-2009

SCADA
MDM
Sources for ‘NIST Standards’
• ‘Voluntary consensus standards’ are developed in committees of experts from stakeholders– utilities, manufacturers, testing firms, government agencies
• ‘Open protocols and standards’ may come from– Accredited ‘Standards Development Organizations’ (for
example the National Electrical Manufacturers Association ANSI C12 electricity metering series)
– Industry Alliances (for example, ZigBee)– A users group (for example, DNP 3)
• Voluntary standards may be made mandatory by government action, such as FERC adoption
• The NIST process is endorsing a portion of the open standards that may be used for smart grid applications
NIST Standard Implementations • ARRA 2009 provided the funding to implement
the NIST work, EISA had only ‘authorized’ it– Smart Grid Interoperability Panel launched 11/2009– First Release’ 1/19/2010, initial set of 75 standards– Priorities for additional standards established– “Future Proofing” ….NEMA SG-AMI 1-2009,
• Provides standards for ‘future proofing’ advanced metering– Firmware upgrades:
» Elster has executed +100K over- the- air • NIST has used this standard as assurance for state
regulators to go forward with deployments
Elster Solution Satisfies Michigan Requirements
• Michigan Act 295:– Energy Optimization Plan– REP (Renewable Energy Plan)– Net metering requirements
• Michigan has defined REP goals, varies by utility– Two goals with increasing deliverables
• 2013 & 2015• Energy Optimization goals (Energy Efficiency)
– Goals with increasing deliverables• 2009, reduction of Energy by .3% of 2007 electrical energy delivered• 2010, reduction of Energy by .5% of 2009 electrical energy delivered• 2011, reduction of Energy by .75% of 2010 electrical energy delivered • 2012, reduction of Energy by 1.0% of previous year thereafter
